Old router dropping connections

I have had my router for quite a few years now. It's the old one - I think it's called the hub one. It's little anyway. I'm always having to restart it as I keep losing connection. My friend recently moved ISP and he has the hub 2. He said he would give it to me. Will it work or will it have to be reconfigured?
Thanks

@Bolanboogie When you say it keeps losing connection, exactly what do you mean? It may not be the Hub itself, it could easily be your connection/the Openreach infrastructure at fault.
If you do use another Hub, not supplied direct to you, you will need to set it up for your account, and advise PN that you have acquired it, so it can be correctly associated with your account.

I do know I have a bit of a bad line. I only get 55 MB tops. I've read a few times in the forum that there's more reliability with the hub too. It does have the little removable tab that has the passwords for the router and admin.

Can you post the details from the 'WAN' tab on your Hubs Error log, please? And your Help Desk page, obscuring personal details.

Tomorrow is OK, although I have a couple of things to do, so response times may be a bit slow.
I thought the Hubs address was 192.168.1.254, unless you've changed it, but this is the page I need:-
