Yep. The problem you are having is with the wi-fi access point part of your router, which is crap. The problem connecting new devices is a symptom of this.
The best way I've heard it explained is a router like you have is like an all-in-one hi-fi. It does nothing particularly well in one box.
If you get a separate modem, router and wi-fi access point you'll have three boxes that do everything well, but for most people a combined modem and router with a separate wi-fi access point is good enough because the bit people have problems with is the wi-fi.

The WiFi speed or connection isn't an issue, it's connecting new devices. The hub refuses to show up on anything that hasn't been connected before.
Would a new 'puck' or router solve this issue and allow me to connect a new device(s)?
