Do you have any other devices connected by ethernet, and does it also happen on them?
Can you access the router's GUI when this happens? (192.168.1.254 for a Plusnet Hub2).
I had a similar problem a while back with just my main desktop PC - also only connected by ethernet:
Somehow, both PC and router had become set to allocate a static IP address - but each was showing a different address. In my case though, rebooting the PC reset it back to dynamic IP allocation - until the next time.
The "cure" though, was to delete the desktop PC in the router's GUI, using a different device whilst the desktop PC was switched off. One the desktop was rebooted, I haven't had the problem since.
On a Hub2:
192.168.1.254 > My Devices > Change Settings > Remove (device)
You may need to identify the desktop's MAC address first to ensure that you delete the correct device.
