Windows laptops not connecting

Am having issues with Windows laptops connecting to the internet both on WiFi and Ethernet cable into the 5X hub.

This has been ongoing for weeks now, some days they connect and stay connected or they connect and ten seconds later they say ‘no internet’

There is nothing wrong with the laptops WiFi settings as they work in our me wife’s and my offices without any problems. The laptops have the latest drivers and are a mix of ASU’s, Dell and HP on Windows 11.
all other devices such as iPads, Macs and MacBook airs work ok as well as IOT devices on the network.

have tried everything, we work from home a lot and this is a complication we don’t need.

      I have just found the ‘secret’ Modem mode on the Virgin 5X, switched that on and now my windows laptops have connected ok on my Deco system after putting that in router mode
