Does anything else disconnect - like your phone? As perhaps it is not a strong enough connection/speed?

its either getting a weak signal which is causing it to disconnect or there may be settings enabled to disable the internet after a certain time to maintain the battery?

hi tianshi & daren
this disconnection really only started when BT upgraded me to fibre. the strength of the signal is medium. from one room to another.regards Jim L

another one to try then, are you connecting to your hub using 2.4gHz or 5?

we have so many bt hubs on our street, our 2.4ghz connection drops out too

urmm.....my bt hub has different names for the 2.4 and 5ghz networks so its easy for me, if you go to your hubs web setting - put this in your browser:

\\192.168.1.254

you should see where and how many devices are connected
