Virgin media vmng300
 

Hi everyone - Just a couple of questions I hope someone can help with?

Can someone direct me to a manual for the VM VMG300

and

Does anyone know how to setup a VMG300 to act as an access point?
I have a VM supberhub in my front room - I also have a cable running into my living room (nothing on it just now) - I want to connect the VMG300 to it so I can run ethernet to another machine. I'm on the 50mb service.

Does the VMG300 have wifi?

Thanks in advance for any positive responses :dunce:

VMNG is a stand alone modem, it cant be used as an access point and/because it has no wireless ..

The VMDG300 is a modem not a router. You cannot do what you are trying to do.

Look who got here before me!:rolleyes:

Okay - So I'll have another go at trying to explain...

I 'AM' a newb...

"I have a VM supberhub in my front room - I also have a [[VM]] cable running into my living room (nothing on it just now) - I want to connect the VMG300 to it so I can run ethernet to another machine. I'm on the 50mb service"

I've connected the XMNG300 to the VM cable in the middle room and all systems are go - according to the lights but - I can't access the 192.168.0.1 with ethernet from it to my laptop and - I can't access the internet.

I've tried assigning 192.168.0.19 as an ip address and that doesn't work.

Is it possible to duplicate the mac code for the superhub and assign it to the 300 or do something else?

I don't know - I'm not that great at networking but, someone must get the drift of what i'm trying to do ???? :dunce:

Cheers !

When you got the Superhub, the VMNG should have been taken offline, explaining why it doesnt work now.

As a device it can't be used for anything other than a single connection to the internet, if its on a live account.

Thanks MOAB

Okay - so i think i understand.

I had an ambit250? whcih the engineer took away. I was given the 300.

Am I able to put another cable modem/router on the vm cable in the 2nd room and if so could you recommend one?

I guess otherwise - i just network into the 2nd room via ethernet? :(

Re: Virgin media vmng300
 

you can only have one modem activated at once, so that will be the superhub

any other modem you have will be deactivated and pretty much useless. you cant use any modem as routing device, only the superhub has routing functionality

it will probably have to be ethernet

Wheres the best place to sell a xmng300 ? :)

Re: Virgin media vmng300
 

to the bin men for free

it cant be used for anything else

Re: Virgin media vmng300
 

Nowhere, it isnt yours to sell.

Keep hold of it just incase your Superhub dies or you get fed up of its flaws and want your own modem + router combo.
