Sorry. I didn't realise you had already connected other devices.
Have you tried plugging the PC in, with a network cable?0 -

1. do you have a spare router to try?
2. are your apple/android devices on 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi? which band are the pc wifi cards operating on?
3. is the hub set to use one or dual(i.e. 2.4 and/or 5GHz) wifi bands?
best guess from the info is that if the hub was operating on dual-band wifi yesterday, something has changed it to either/or rather than dual-band operation. You'll need to log into the hub interface to check these settings........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

No spare router.

You could try running NetStumbler, which will show you which wireless networks your PC can "see", and how strong the signal is.

But not your own?
I'd log in to the router's web interface (on another PC/phone or via cable) and check the wireless settings.
Make sure the SSID is broadcast (not hidden), check the encryption, and check the channels/frequencies.0
