How to put the Hub5 into a bridge mode?

[ajay_falcon]

Hi,

I have recently moved to Virgin Media broadband.

I have setup a WiFi mesh using LinkSys Velop SPNMX56. I have been able to move all my devices to the new setup, connected the devices to the WiFi mesh (LinkSys router) rather than directly to the VM Hub5.

I have Synology DS that I want to be accessible from the internet. When I did the router checks on the disk station, I got the following warning

Two or more routers were found in your network. Please consult your Internet service provider to set the modem/router to Bridge Mode, or try setting your router to Bridge Mode.

My question is, how do I configure the Hub5 into Bridge Mode?

Bridge mode on VM hubs is referred to as ‘Modem Mode’. Follow these instructions: 

How to put a VM hub into modem mode:

1) Access your hub on 192.168.0.1, sign on and put it into modem mode. On the Hub3 the bottom LED will change to magenta, on a Hub4 the LED band will be green, on a Hub5 the LED will be green. Best done from a wired connection.

2) Turn off the hub and disconnect any Ethernet cables

3) Fully initialise your own router or mesh master unit and make sure the WAN port is set to DHCP (for some routers or mesh this may have to be done in router mode before entering modem mode)

4) Connect your router or mesh master unit to the VM hub with an Ethernet cable, Cat5e or Cat6, any higher specification is a waste of money. On a Hub5 use port 4.

5) Turn on the VM hub.

6) You should now be able to access the internet and the hub will now be on 192.168.100.1

Note1: this only needs doing once for each new router or when VM changes your WAN IP address.

Note2: If you have a Hub4 and your own router is NOT 192.168.0.1 then it’s possible that you can still access the VM hub on 192.168.0.1

You cant - the Hub5 has to be in "router" mode.  There is no modem mode for it ATM.

You have two competing routers at the moment - and so its the Linksys that has to be switched into "bridge" or "access point" mode - see its instructions.

Hi,

I tried this but i don't see a 'Super Hub' option after i log into the router.

And the document says 

*Not currently available for Hub 5x

Any other method?

Yes, there is no modem mode for the new Hub 5X, as this is the XGS-PON fibre Hub.  The "other" Hub 5 has modem mode, but runs on the older DOCIS co-ax cables.  You could put the Mesh units into Access Point mode and not use the Linksys.  That way at least you will only have one Router, the Hub 5X
