where hub .... where laptop?

think of wireless as being line of sight (it's not)
so many things can affect ... tv, microwave, fridge ... rain .... chargers ...

next time it's off ...
moove closer to hub

try a cabled ethernet connection (you should have two now)

ive moved the hub several times works for a whilen goes off agen same problem im starting to think its my laptop because wen i lose connection if i take my laptop right next to thehub and then search for it my laptop doesnt even pick it up as if it doesnt exist so then restart my laptop and then finds it but not always?

but you're not proving anything with what you are doing

depending why - if the connection goes - it won't re-connect , you have to reboot

try the wire for a couple of nights - if no drops - it's the wifi
if it drops - it's the line (any noise on calls - does it drop to incoming/outgoing calls ... does an incoming call rfresh it?)

what lights are showing when it is/isn't working

if the transmission level is low - you get exactly what you describe - you could try to get them to up the gain
