I have heard of problems with Home Hubs and I suspect this is the cause. Some media servers flood the network with "alive" announcements to compensate for problems with other network equipment, and this might be why the ReadyNAS media server is being found.

Does the Home Hub have any settings relating to IGMP snooping or multicast? Which model of Home Hub is it?

The Linn recommended network setup is to add a switch to your network and connect all your audio equipment to the switch. This ensures any problems with the router don't affect the operation of your audio equipment. It is likely that adopting this setup would solve the discovery problem.
