Hi,
I recently received the new Hub 5 as an upgrade from the Hub 3 (the hub 5 is loads better for Wi-Fi signal). The issue I am having is I have an MacBook Pro M1 2020 on MacOS Monterey and since changing the router on Friday, I am constantly having issues where apps are not connecting.
Apps such as Teams, Outlook and Speed Test all say I have no internet connection (everything else seems to be working fine so far). I have turned off iCloud Private Relay and that made no difference, the only thing that works is when I connect via VPN, then everything works perfectly.
I shouldn't need to connect via the VPN (which gives me slower speeds) so I am wondering, is anyone else having a similar issue since changing to the Hub 5, and if so, have you been able to fix it? I could open some ports on the router, but to be honest, I have no idea which ones.

Thank you @Adduxi
I tried that but it still didn't work but thank you still as it is something I had not considered (the Hub 3 was separate networks by default and I didn't notice when changing).
I have since fixed the issue though but forgot to reply (may be helpful to other Mac users). In the last updated 12.1, it auto turned on Automatic Proxy Discovery for all Wi-Fi networks. Literally after nearly a month, it was just a tick box that Apple enabled when updating which coincided with the day I changed the router.
Just in case anyone else who is having this issue doesn't know how to turn this off, I will list the steps below

I've been having intermittent strange behaviour on Monterey with a Hub 4, similar symptoms to you. Mine seemed to get better when I set my router to do local DNS caching. Might have been a coincidence though.

I have no idea how to do that. Are you using a separate router and using your hub in Modem mode? I am using the hub in standard router mode and can't see anything about the DNS 😞
UPDATE: I have just seen your signature so that has answered the question

No, I am using the new SSID and a different password

Hub 5 is still by invite only and it still in trials. These things are expected until all the bugs are squashed and the firmware updated.
Having said that, have you tried splitting the SSID? It may help.
• Access your Hub by navigating to 192.168.0.1
• Login with the default login info (on base of Hub) unless you've already updated it.
• Go to Advanced Settings > Wireless > Security
• Under Wireless Frequency 2.4GHz change the Wifi Network Name (SSID), suggest append _2 to the end.
• Repeat for the Wireless Frequency 5GHz, suggest append _5 to the end and click on Apply changes
• Try to avoid spaces and periods in the SSID names as they can cause issues with certain devices.
