First thing I'd suggest would be to temporarily move the PC closer to the hub, to see if it's a problem with the range of the wi-fi adapter.
If it still doesn't work, can you give more details of what exactly is happening (any error messages etc) as simply stating it doesn't work isn't much to go on.
