I noticed a problem with my SH4 in modem mode, it still responds / web ui loads on the 2 default lan ips? I've tried several factory resets but it's still the same? I have been trying to get a replacement via support web chat but rhe my virgin media app doesn't get past a your hub needs a reset.
I'm hoping VM staff read this and can arrange a replacement self install.
Thanks

its fine for the new hub to load the UI on them IP's as long as you get your WAN IP its fine

Yeah that, i gathered. I should mentioned initially some web searching took me to other occurances of the same issue on the SH4 and it does sound like a fault with the Firmware that normally can be resolved with a factory reset but for devices that it doesn't resolve then its a HW swap job. I only noticed the issue when one day I was too lazy to mess around with an old semi managed switch which still had its default IP which was unfortunately 192.168.0.1 which I wasnt able to reach as I kept hitting my SH4 which made me wonder as knowing I was in modem mode it should of only responded to 192.168.100.1 which also loaded. Thanks for your reply though, yes it will work but its def not supposed to do this I'm just lucky I don't use any sort of MAC to IP bind spoofing detection on my Firewall or that could lead to some problems. I may just have to call the dreaded 150 number, as the web chat support channel seems to be difficult to access on purpose nowdays..

Yes, if your Router is not using the 192.168.0.xxx IP range, the Hub 4 can be reached on both IP addresses. This has been a known "feature" for quite some time.
