I have currently just had virgin out into my address and to my dismay I have found I can not change my internal ip address for the network in the superhub 3. I have always detested using default setting in any router I have bought or have used. I have my whole network manually set with ip addresses, I don't like using the range 192.168.*.* is there anyway of changing the setting to match all of my already set ip addresses across my network?
many thanks

Agreed, assuming any connectivity to the outside world at all, private/local networks should only be in the ranges:
10.x.x.x
172.[16...31].x.x
192.168.x.x
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network
But as I said, first try connecting a laptop directly to the router via ethernet cable (set the laptop to auto-detect its IP address). Don't even connect the Virgin cable F-connector yet. Then see if you can access and configure to the address you want.

I guess the router itself might be restricting its settings to valid LAN addresses (of which 100.x.x.x is not) to avoid clashes with the rest of the internet. Try something obvious first (maybe 192.168.1.1) to make sure the technique is working at all, then try another valid LAN address (say 172.16.1.1 or 10.1.1.1) and see where the problem occurs. Probably obvious, but do remember to reboot the laptop after each completed attempt to see what new address it picks up.

bang on. 10.0.0.x works. so clearly its just not letting me select 100. Annoying but wasnt the ideal range to have in the first place.
Actually, i seem to get the below when trying to get to the sh3 webpage.. going to reboot everything
Your connection was interrupted
A network change was detected.

I just needed mine away from 192.168.0.0, this sorted me out thx..

I want to throw this rubbish out the window...
If BT had better broadband in my area I would have switched already..
For whatever reason these commands no longer seem to work... they did.. but I guess VM updated something as they dont work now.
I, like many, for very valid reasons cannot use 192.168.0.1 on my home network. I've logged a complaint at VM but dont expect it to help..
VM which muppet did you make product manager on the SHv3, clearly they do not know your user base.

Hi Eddie, it is very nice of you posting this solution for ip change. I have tried few times changing mine, but getting the same problems each time. Although, my getaway address change to 192.168.1.1 I am still getting ip address for the computer 192.168.0.10. That zero there is my problem, it should be one.I have also tried restarting router and computer but it does not help. The router somehow forgets the new 192.168.1.1 and gets something like 157.198.156.137. I hope you or someone else who experienced same problems could help here. Thanks in advance..
