Hub 3 ip range?

Do the latest Hub 3’s allow you to change the LAN ip range?

(just signed up to M125 so assume this is what I’ll get)

      Thank you, I feared as much.

      Do any of the VM hubs allow the ip range to be changed?

        On the residential service, no. I think the ones supplied for Virgin Business services do.

    For about £40 or less a TP-LINK Router is available from Amazon with decent Wi-Fi and all 1Gb/s LAN & Network ports.

      I'll take a look at those, thanks. I don't need Wi-Fi as I have BT Whole Home discs, so I'll maybe find something even cheaper, or take the Wi-Fi as a bonus 🙂

    Make quite sure ( do not assume) the BT Whole Home discs are a full retail product that you can re-configure to work with another ISP.   A Wi-Fi Router is a bonus ... it gives you one more Wi-Fi AP in your home.

      Good point, they are supposed to work with any ISP but will check first.

    I believe not, but you can use the reservation feature to reserve specific IP addresses to specific devices, identified by mac address.
