@GRIFFO1 the hub and the ONT are designed to run 24/7 and actually use minimal power so the plugs should not get hot ideed if they do something is clearly wrong.

All such devices are designed, specified and manufactured to be plugged in and switched on all the time: repeated power cycling can be harmful and interfere with normal operation.
