Wifi with SH3 in modem mode?

I've had my SH3 in modem mode for a few years now and have my own router which has wifi. As I'm thinking of changing my router to a non wifi one, does the SH3 still have wifi whilst in modem mode. I'm guessing it doesn't but want to be sure.

I do have 2 wifi access points in my house,so I won't be losing anything, as long as wifi is available on the SH3

Thanks

    No, in modem mode the Hub is just a "bridge" to the VM Network and your own Router.  All router functions on the Hub are disabled, so to speak.

    I use a non wifi router, and have supplied my own PoE Wifi Access Points throughout the house.

      Thanks, I didn't think it did.

      I have 2 ubiquiti PoE AP's , and currently they are plugged into my wifi router. If you have the same , where or what do you connect them to to give you and internet connection, or do they just work through  the VM modem.

      Thanks

        I have the AP's connected to a PoE switch, which is connected to my main switch and on to a Draytek 2927 router. The AP's have the router IP as the gateway so internet is via the Draytek.  Pretty straightforward really.

        The VM  Hub is in modem mode.
