Connecting 360 TV over home LAN to router in modem mode

Hey everyone, I’ve got a slightly more complicated home network than most - for several reasons including WFH network resiliance. I’m using a Teltonika RUTX08 router as the gateway to two Internet ...

    I have a similar setup, VM and also a FTP 1G/1G, with the VM hub in modem mode. I use a UniFi UDM Pro router and have 50% of traffic going across each link. In my routers setup there is something called policy based routing and I use this for two things. To direct all traffic from my V6 to the VM hub and all traffic for 192.168.100.1, where ever it comes from, to the VM hub. Maybe there is something in your router that will do the same. I think it probably uses iptables to send data the correct way.

In a typical set up the 360 just gets its IP address from the DHCP server of the hub or the router (when the hub is in modem mode). It's as simple as that, just plug and play. So long as the RUTX08 has received its WAN IP address from the hub and has assigned the 360's IP address, then all should be fine. (I'm not sure about the DNS, the V6 doesn't need to use VM's but I defer to what nodrogd said about the 360.) If it's necessary in your set up to give the 360 a fixed IP address, then do so within the DHCP reservation range of the RUTX08.

Bottom line is that VM uses a closed network for its TV boxes, so you cannot use another ISPs connection.
