My Current package is 1GB HUB5 and i used my own wifi orbi 960 satellites just wants to asked can i get HUB5X? some one told me hub5x is better in modem mode? can i get HUB5X?
5X and 5 is essentially the same thing, which one works for you depends on the area you live
the hub5 and hub5x use different line so you have the best hub
The Hub5x has NO modem mode at present. The names of the hubs, Hub5 & Hub5x, have similar names, but they preform totally different functions. They are not interchangeable. The Hub5 works with a DOCSIS system and the Hub5x works with XGS-PON (IP only) system.
Wait several years for VM to roll out FTTP in your area.

The marked solution is actually incorrect - that are NOT the same thing.
Apparently the Hub 5 has Modem mode and the 5x does NOT have modem mode.
It seems if your on Gig2 or in an area with new fiber to your door, your getting 5x hub. If you've got co-axial in your home and you have a Hub5 you might be better off.
If you want to route your traffic around your LAN with your own hardware, you don't want to get a 5x hub.
The thread you have added to is archived & nearly a year old, so it is quite possible for it to be either inaccurate or irrelevant to the current situation with VM connections.
Hub 5X requires full fibre to the hub (NexFibre areas & project Mustang areas that are live for 2Gb only). A hub 5X is therefore required for ANY package in a full fibre area.
