Help accessing modem mode

I'm sick and tired of this modem and I can't find a straight answer to my question. I run my Hub 3 in modem mode and I have a proper router to do all my networking and VPN. The VM Hub is said to be...

    No, contrary to popular belief the hub isn’t on 192.168.100.1 when in modem mode, better described as ‘bridge mode’, that’s the internal web server interface address.

     In bridge mode, the VM hub, ‘passes on’ a public address to your own router’s WAN interface, so you need to set that to be DHCP, or dynamically assigned or however they phrase it for your model. What you set for the LAN-side address is irrelevant really.

A lot of jumbo-jumbo has been thrown your way which can be ignored.  Which hub do you have?  Some Hubs in modem modes, and earlier Hub 4 firmware, allowed access via 192.168.0.1 as will as 192.168.100.1

Bottom line to all this is that if the hub’s web server is functioning correctly and all the ASUS router defaults are applied, it should all work.  Let us know.

I have a Hub 5x…. The whole thing is doing my head in…. I’ve managed to get modem mode working once. I’m using a Linksys Mx4200 router with it.  Couldnt access the Virgin hub, either directly on 192.168.100.1 or using the advice given above. 

So I reset the hub and started again…. Put modem into modem mode, green steady light…. It wouldn’t pair with my router and no internet connectivity… I tried the same process I used before, over and over…. Just wouldn’t work…

So now… the modem is in normal mode… I’ve turned off WiFi broadcasting… plugged by router in and now everything is working.

I can access my hub on 192.168.0.1. And by router on 192.168.0.1 - all good?

Is there any reason why I need modem only mode?
