No access to Hub 5x

Hi,

I have a Hub 5x (VM Gig2 2000/2000) and I am experiencing issues accessing the configuration menu through a web browser. After rebooting the router, I can access it normally; however, after a couple of days it becomes impossible to access again. When this happens, the browser displays the screen shown below, and even after waiting 20 minutes there is no response. The only way to regain access is to reboot the router.

Do you have any idea what could be done to resolve this issue? I believe the firmware is updated to the latest version:

    So we are at that point with the hub 5x now and VM will think why you need to access the hub you can get to the web just fine well say good bye to doing port forwarding. If the hub 5x was just a modem there be no problem.

    but hey maybe do a reset

      Thank you for your reply. A full reset has already been performed three times in the past six months, so a reset cannot be considered a viable medium- to long-term solution.

    Things are only going to get better when many people complain about the state of hub 5x not having modem mode to fix unless unstable router mode

        sure they just believe in the rest of the hub to fix it which is funny if phones needed a rest boy would we all be mad!

      My 5X is running in modem mode, but I've never been able to access the configuration page in this mode, it is properly "dumb".

    Have you tried a direct cabled connection to the Hub?

    This looks like a failing local management plane, nothing you can do to fix it although you can try another browser or a private window. But why are you repeatedly trying to log in?

      It’s not something I need to do every day, but occasionally I need to use the port forwarding option, and it’s very frustrating to have to reboot the router every time just to access the configuration. It doesn’t make any sense.

    Could anyone from the VM team please advise on how to proceed? Is there any firmware update available to address this issue, or should I contact the client team to request a field engineer appointment?

    Virgin Media Hub 5x is a nightmare! How on earth are virgin media getting away with having no modem mode with this?

      Because they want to start doing CGNAT in the worse possible way for IPv4 and the only way to hide the truth is this.

      I know I can double IPv4 with limited but auto inbound traffic support....but no one cares....
