    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.

What does that mean? "... when it was set up correct before".  Modem mode doesn't work in the Hub 5X - please check this in other threads.   If you were in the double-NAT mode, then I would have expected at least a wired device directly connected to the Hub to get into the Hub setting page.  Why wouldn't it?  Your router is just another device hanging off it.

On DNS, I don't think there is a solution when double-NATting.  This thread may be of interest:  https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Networking-and-WiFi/use-my-own-DNS/td-p/5489942

VM have royally screwed its Hub 5X users, imo.
