Fibre Hub DG8041W keeps dropping WiFi connections

I got a new Talktalk fibre hub in September and initially it was working well and giving a far superior WiFi coverage than the old HG533 router. After about 6 weeks, the WiFi started to drop connections to my Alexa devices, 2 android phones and iPhone.  Ethernet connected devices were not affected.  If the hub is left long enough, it will sometimes reconnect the WiFi, but usually I have to turn off the router, wait and then turn it back on.

Running the system stays check never shows up this intermittent fault.  I have tried the  online chat but that failed miserably after 50 minutes after trying to answer totally irrelevant questions and finally having the chat terminated without warning.  When I said I could send a copy of the router log showing the disconnections , she wasn't interested and wanted to send a chargeable engineer to upgrade the WiFi.  It just made no sense.

I have tried a factory reset which made no difference.

I see other people having similar problems are offered a replacement hub to try.

I hope that someone out there can help to resolve the issue in the same way that others with the same problems have been helped.
