I realized that my "Home Hub 4000" Fiber-modem / WiFi Router suddenly stopped answering DHCP Discovery Request sent from some of my computers. It started with one, then the day after it was 2 more. It's not related to access type as ethernet and wifi connections had the same issue. Static configuration of IP address worked fine. 

The issue was resolved by restarting the "Home Hub 4000" Fiber-modem / WiFi Router. DHCP is now working for all connected ethernet and wifi devices in my LAN.

Working with network equipment myself I believe this is a bug in the "Home Hub 4000" Fiber-modem / WiFi Router which should be addressed.

Sounds to me like you have a network collision of some sorts. Are there any device on your network with static IP's in the same range as the DHCP address pool?
