Is there a reason why this is the case? - Sadly I've had to go back to a previous router (the Hub 0) for everything to go back to normal.
Will PN allow the Hub 1 to access Google's DNS servers which work, rather than their own (which obviously don't)?

What a peculiar question! If your hub one won't work I guess it's either faulty or set up incorrectly.
You can use whatever DNS server you like if you can set it up on the connecting device. If however you want to use the router default DNS then you are stuck with PN's

I only received the Hub 1 about 2 weeks ago and for the first week it was absolutely fine. But then I kept getting an exclamation symbol near the Wifi one. It said I was connected but that no internet 'was available'.
I've also read that you could change the DNS from the device you're using. Checking my phone, it was using Google's. It seems PN's servers seem to override them since I still couldn't access the web.
Is that true?

@Cagney1994 It seemed an odd question because PN's servers and routers are unquestionably compatible, many thousands of people are using this set up. The issue is that you have a problem that needs sorting.
I am also confused as to how you connect an explanation mark next to the WiFi symbol with the default DNS server. If you are dropping the internet connection then this is what needs to be investigated without worrying about the effectiveness of different DNS servers.
If things are working with your hub 0 set up but not with the hub1 then my guess would be that you have an early life failure issue with the hub1.
