Contract Ending
Hi there, my contract with VM is due to end on 23rd Feb and i am not looking to renew so looking for a bit of clarification. Firstly, how do i give my notification that i want it to end on the 23rd Feb rather than move to a rolling contract. Secondly, my package is a volt package for Gig1 Fibre plus a mobile sim from o2. I currently pay them as seperate bills through the Vm and o2 websites even though i was told ages ago that they would be combined at some point. If i end my broadband does the sim end with it or does that continue as a seperate product, does the monthly price for the sim remain the same etc Thanks83Views0likes1CommentRe: modem mode hub 4
Hi and thanks for the reply. I have actually fixed it. I did a factory reset and firmware upgrade on the Asus router and then switched the hub back into modem mode again and everything started working. Just finished setting up the 3 Zenwifi XD5 mesh nodes and put them in place around the home and everything seems to be much better. I am now direct streaming a 4k movie from my synology nas via plex over wifi in the room where before i couldn't even manage to make it play at 720p by manually selecting a lower quality and letting the plex server transcode it.1.8KViews0likes0Commentsmodem mode hub 4
Hi all, been using the hub 4 with the 1gig service for a while and i'm fairly happy except for the poor wifi range. The hub is in an upstairs room and there is difficulty with the signal downstairs in the kitchen and in the back room which my 15 year old daughter is complaining about. I also run a few private game servers for myself and friends which means i have to port forward and i've found recently i am getting limit exceeded when trying to forward a new port so today i bit the bullet and spent some money. I bought the ASUS TUF AX3000 Gaming router and some Zenwifi XD5 mesh wifi pods. I have switched my hub to modem mode but it doesn't appear to work. It boots and the light goes green but i cannot reach the internet at all when using any of the 4 ethernet ports directly to a laptop or to the ASUS router. As i am trying to set it up this how i proceeded to set it up. 1 - I factory reset the hub by pushing the reset button on the back for about a minute 2 - I booted the hub and i accessed the settings page at 192.168.0.1 and turned on modem mode 3 - i waited for about 5/6 minutes for it to reboot a couple of times and eventually settle with a solid green light 4 - i connected port 1 to the WAN port of the ASUS router. The ASUS shows a WAN ip address beginning with 82.x.x.x which seems to be correct but not a single web page will load via any of the computers/laptops or phones within my home and i cannot access the hub from the 192.168.100.1 ip address it assigns when in modem mode. 5 - I then tried ports 2/3/4 on the hub to the WAN port of the router but i got exactly the same results as above in step 4. 6 - I turned the router off and plugged an ethernet cable from port 1 of the hub (ports 2/3/4 are empty now) directly to the ethernet port of my laptop and it fails to even assign the 82.x.x.x address instead giving me an address starting with 169.x.x.x 7 - tried ports 2/3/4 with the same results as above in step 6 8 - i manually assigned the laptop an ip address of 192.168.100.2, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.100.1 . With this manual assignment i can now access the hubs settings page at 192.168.100.1 where it shows as Internet (Online) but i still cannot load a single web page. 9 - i switch off modem mode back to router mode and internet now works fine again on all 4 ports. Any advice or tips? ThanksSolved1.9KViews0likes2Comments
