    Hello Andtheit

     

    Thanks for posting in regards to your Hub and setting up modem mode. We appreciate you raising the query via the forums and welcome to the community.

     

    Please follow the steps below for setting the Hub 3 into modem mode:

     

    1. Navigate to 192.168.0.1
    2. Log in to the Hub
    3. Go to 'Modem mode' (on the left) and put the hub into modem mode
    4. Wait until the bottom light on the Hub turns magenta / red (HUB 3) (can take about 5 minutes)
    5. Turn off the Hub
    6. Power on and set up your new router as per the manufacturers instructions
    7. Plug an ethernet cable (usually supplied with the new router) from port 1 on the Hub into the WAN (usually blue) socket on the new Router
    8. Power on the Hub and wait about 5-10 minutes until it stabilises - You should have internet!
