Thanks for the replies including the environmental ones!

Maybe I will complain and try for a new router!

Without the knowledge to find what process(s) are causing the problem I
will leave it set as above as there seems to be no adverse affects.

I will do a clean install the next time, which wont be for a while.

As an afterthought, you can turn off the router function of the
SuperHub, so that it becomes "just" a modem.

You can then use a router to your own spec (as I have done). My router
includes an IPv6 tunnel end-point, making my home network fully
dual-protocol.

Whether this will solve your problem is debatable...
