Can anyone explain this please?
Virging decided to give me a hub 4 as I was on a hub 2. Delivered yesterday and what a palaver. It appeared that it would not go into modem mode. It states on the device it can take up to 5 ninutes...

Thank you. I lke the wifi speed, but will leave it as a modem for now. Just cannot bring myself to connect all these devices to a new network. Trials of trying to have a smart home.
I can have it as a router, but then cannot connect to my NAS boxes.
However I have found that the DHCP allows the last two sections of the ip address.
If I choose 2.130 to start DHCP, I get a warning that the host will change to 2.1 ???, so that implies that I can change the internat ip address?
I will need to switch off DHCP on my main router, but I ma going to have a play around. Searching here and on the net sems to say that 0.1 address cannot be changed, so now I am intrigued. 🙂
My main router is 2.1 so I will need to change that ro prevent a conflict.
Unless you have a huge amount of 2.1 static IP addresses, it will not matter? Your devices should get a 0.x address from the Hub in router mode. Set your existing Router to a 0.x address that’s outside the Hubs DHCP scope and use it in access point mode. Set both the Hub and Router to have the same WiFi SSID and passwords.
