WiFi problems no internet

Hi,
I have a superhub 5 and recently it has started behaving very weirdly for about the last week !
The wired ethernet ports always work ok and although the Wifi appears to be up it does not allow any internet traffic.

Strangely I can still ping the router 192.168.0.1 but the router web page itself refuses any connection !
I can talk to everything on my local network 192.68.0.1-192.168.0.255  but can't ping anything on the internet e.g. 8.8.8.8 ,  it doesn't matter which device I use, laptop, phone etc

I've run the status checker and it reports no problems
Rebooting the router sorts it out for a while then it happens again, I tried unplugging it too

Has anyone got any ideas ?
thanks
Mike

    Reset hub completely using the PIN hole. Hold the switch inside the pinhole in for around 60 seconds and then release. The hub will reboot itself so do NOT power off, leave it to initialise fully until white (router mode) or green light (modem mode) reappears.

    I'm assuming you haven't changed any IP settings to static addresses on clients and that you've used a clean device that hasn't got affected by malware blah blah blah.....

      Hi,  I've got loads of reserved mac addresses to static IPs and split the 5GHz and 2.4GHz.    
      I'm starting to think it may be unstable because I have too many Wifi devices, is there a maximum number the superhub 5 can support ? 
      I've just moved all the 2.4GHz to an old router and switched off 2.4GHz on the superhub and now it seems more stable
      Also I've just bought a new router which can support 150 simultaneous devices using MU-MIMO technology,  and may try the superhub in modem mode when the new router arrives.
      I guess even in modem mode the superhub will still do it's occasional reboot around 00:00 to 01:00

        If you have a new Router, I would suggest you use modem mode. You should hopefully find it better.  I've always used any Hub's I've had in modem mode.

    Hi,

    I'm afraid it still isn't working properly, in modem mode I get exactly the same problem and the only thing that solves it is rebooting the superhub.     
    Previously it had been working well for a very long time so possibly the number of devices is a bit of a red herring
    I’ve included the status info in case it means something to someone!

    I can see some errors in the logs but I’m not sure if they only happen immediately after rebooting?

    Stats are fine and I can't see any power level issues etc.   However you mentioned modem mode?  In modem mode there is no Wifi or anything else from the Hub, it's just a "bridge" to the VM network, and needs your own Router to work.  Have you tried another Wifi extender to get your IoT device working?

      Hi, it was all working perfectly for a very long time. Please read my earlier posts.  In attempt to fix/diagnose the problem I have bought another router and am using the superhub in modem mode.    It still works but frequently drops out from the internet, the same as before when not in modem mode.  This applies to ethernet connections as well as Wifi,  something is going wrong in the superhub so that I can't connect to it (using the correct ip address for router and modem modes) or the internet but the local network remains up whether in router or modem mode
      All local wifi connections are working perfectly, when it fails there is no internet connection or ability to connect to the superhub webpage whether in modem or router mode, local connections remain up
