I have just set up a machine with a new static IP address and it can ping the router (Hub One) and other devices on the LAN but it can't reach the Internet. The router log shows no entry when pings are sent and its Home Network page shows no wireless devices connected even after clicking Referesh.
# ping -c 2 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host
# ping -c 2 192.168.1.254
PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=8.600 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.354 ms
How can I persuade the router to recognise the machine and allow it out?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

The device needs to have the Gateway IP set to be the Router's IP e.g. 192.168.1.254
The device needs to have a manual DNS set try with say Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1

If I recall correctly, with the Hub one unless it's DHCP server has issue the device IP Address it will NOT be seen as a connected device.
Your best option is to set the device to DHCP and make it a Fixed IP Address
You can give the device any IP address between .64 to .253 provided it is not already allocated.

It's a FreeBSD system and needed a defaultrouter entry in /etc/rc.conf! Once that was added everything worked. It's not currently showing up in Home Network though, so if that's a quirk of the Hub One well, that's just something I'll have to accept. It needs to have the IP address I've given it to comply with a /30 netmask on my LAN.
