Ethernet port takes 15-20 to wake up.

We've recently joined BT/EE and got the new smart hub. I have my PC attached to the router via an ethernet cable (port 1). If I put my PC to sleep, when it wakes up, the ethernet port takes 15-20 seconds to wake up and for my PC to realise it's attached to the internet. I've had a BT hub previously and a Talktalk hub, both of those woke up immediately. Does anyone know why this is happening, and is there a way to change this behaviour? Thanks for your help!

@burmania It's just the way that the EE Smarthub+ and Pro Ethernet ports work, and there is nothing that can be changed for the operation of the router's.

hi its not just that i get constant disconnections on wifi as well.i ended up getting a bt smart hub 2 instead and that still works on the ee network and is more reliable than the ee router.also u can get the bt smart 2 on ebay for just a few quid.
