Which hub are you using?
Usually, this means that the hub is paired. So if there is a remove or forget button, click that.

This error has been reported a few times before. Unfortunately, no one ever reported back that they had solved the issue.

Some of the discussion might give some ideas of what to try. Usually the best way to solve these kinds of issues is to use Wireshark to log Bluetooth packets to see what is going on at a low level (instructions).
