Do you have a router to the hub? what is it? Connect just a PC to the hub in modem mode when working connect PC to your router and change in WAN settings the WAN MAC to your PC MAC then connect router to hub. If 169.254.xx.xx was assigned to your device that mean DHCP failed but that would be on your router? is your router LAN 192.168.0.x ?
