Unifi UXG Lite settings + Modem 5x 10gig

Super excited to get Virgin into the property (only 6-7 weeks late without internet..that's another story) and I was happily surprised with the plug-and-play nature of connecting the UXG Lite to the 10Gig port (yes, 10Gig, I honestly was expected 2.5gig).

My issue happened when I set the Virgin Hub into modem mode (thank you to the person - sorry, I didn't record the name! - who shared the link as it's not available in the GUI (http://192.168.0.1/?page=modemmode), where post reboot and green LED, going to 192.168.100.1, went to nowhere.

Checked Unifi and I could see that the G2 Plus can see the internet. It sees that there is the potential for a connection, but no joy on actually getting the connection. 

Context:

  • Previously used PPPoE with BT G.Fast 
  • Changed to DHCP under IPv4 (v6 disabled)
  • I had seen mention of choosing VLAN 6 for it to work..no joy

Are there any specific settings USG, UDM or UXG users are using or can share for connecting in Modem-only mode?

    The lastest software for the Unifi hubs may help the double NAT problem.

    VM just being a pain to fix security with NAT that they don't even fully support

    In short they want to stop ARP Snooping and IP Snooping along with some type of CGNAT down the line
