Hub 5.0 DHCP Issues
I just upgraded to the Hub 5.0 on VM's 1gig connection. I previously had the Hub 3.0 and had to switch it to modem mode as its WiFi was quite frankly rubbish, and I was hoping that the new Hub would be a vast improvement. Initially, I was impressed with the WiFi speed (I even said 'wheee' when doing a speedtest), but when it came to me trying to assign a static IP to my NAS, I keep encountering an odd issue. When I go into the DHCP settings and select my NAS, it displays the following: It doesn't matter what IP address I put in there; it always says that it's not a valid IP address. I mean, wth? Don't tell me that this shiny, modern router doesn't in fact have basic router functionality? Anyway, I called VM this morning to see if they had any words of wisdom, but the rep on the other end of the phone was completely useless and didn't seem to have the slightest clue what I was talking about. From the posts I've seen on this already, I gather that there's no fix for this and I've not missed anything obvious? I've got a feeling that I'm going to switching this new hub to modem only too, which is annoying as the router I've got isn't a WiFi 6 one.
