    It will get a public WAN IP address. It does not as such ‘inherit’ the VM hub’s IP address as when the VM hub is in modem mode it does not have a WAN IP address. The address will be on your own routers WAN port. When the VM hub is in modem mode all the networking switching, DHCP server and WiFi service as not running. The hub just acts as a bridge.

Tell me if I'm wrong but by doing this the unifi console can't inherit the VM Router's public IP address can it?
