Re: Virgin Business Superhub now has Modem Mode

Hey guys and hallelujah for this thread!

In exactly the same situation as many here, received the firmware update 2 hours after my my last tweet moaning about modem mode (too good to be true?) router static ip subnet router has been flakey ever since.

Have tried (and failed) to get modem mode working with DHCP and a laptop/downstream router - I get an ip, gw, dns, subnet but unable to ping anything other than the 192.168.100.1 IP.

WRT:

Just to be absolutely clear on this, are you saying no static ips available for downstream router in modem-mode?

Many thanks

Vm business 50mb

edit:

Do you have any other suggestions?

At the moment we have the SH in Router mode with dhcp, firewall and wifi disabled and have a static ip subnet setup for an old ALIX box running m0n0wall to handle our networks DHCP and PPTP vpn.

The aim is to upgrade this to a 2nd, newer ALIX box that is running pfsense, to get rid of the PPTP vpn in favour of openvpn and to get rid of a mostly redundant juniper fw.

Static ip is required for a nas box and local development/staging environments.

Tried to swap out the old ALIX box for the new one after having no luck with modem mode and discovered I couldn't ping the new one from the SH and was getting no access beyond the SH on the way out either!

Muchos confused..
