Dual Wan in Modem mode

Yes, I had a DualWAN setup for work redundancy with VM and BT.  Hub in modem mode as noted by jpeg1​    Worked very well, both circuits running concurrently as load balanced.

Good point about the Hub 5X - one to watch out for !

Not sure what Hub will arrive, it's for a 362mb connection. Hopefully they don't send me one of their 5x hubs.

Well VM are going to be a ass about the hub 5x so just connect as you would in modem mode just don't use any other ports or wifi on the hub. But I would think the hub 5x is a security concern about its wifi which you should disable change password but then VM may re-enable it or even reset your hub without you knowing so thats not safe is it VM...

Works fine for me, have had two connections for about a year. One thing to remember if you take a TV product from VM is to set up routes for it to only use the VM connection for the TV box. 

Ok guys, the hub arrived late in the evening so set it up this morning. To start of I was getting 38mb down and 5mb upload, then the hub done an update and speed came up to normal. They did send me a Hub 5 and it had modem mode ok, I'm guessing the Hub 5 and 5x are two different hubs?? Anyways, I set the router up and put the Hub in modem mode and long story short the failover worked no problem and the failback. I just disconnected the ethernet cable from the ONT box on the BT line and few second later she popped over to Virgin and connected it back up and she went back to the BT no problem.

I've also set up a BQM to run Virgin on for 24 hrs just to get a look at the line so using the Virgin line now. I also see the Hub 5 doesn't actually connect to the internet to create a BQM unless you are actually using it on the failover but that's no biggy :-) 

Tried to copy and paste my hub stats but keep getting this message.

All good on the BQM, the drop out at the start was just me putting in a shorter Cat6 ethernet cable I made from Virgin Hub to Asus router. So I'm now back on the BT line and know everything is working as it should be :-)) Thanks for all the help guys!

What are your thoughts guys with Failover vs Load balancing, am I not getting my moneys worth by having a line sitting doing nothing or is that ok by most, as long as you know you have a backup?

The only thing that bothers me is because the Hub 5 is off-line what about updates etc, as the line could sit there for 6-7 months before going online and even then I'd probably force a failover just to test everything is still working.
