If you are operating the SHub in modem mode then it'll be your router that sends the DHCP broadcast request through the SHub. The SHub just passes the packets through.

The reason you can't get a response from 192.168.100.1 when this DHCP fails is that your router no longer has a valid WAN side IP and thus can't provide IP based communication with the SHub.

Are you running in modem mode?
