Re: Virgin Business Superhub now has Modem Mode

One frustration for those of us who need the fixed IPs is that VM have not released and do not support/allow us to set the SH in modem mode and let our own routers negotiate the L2TP tunnel to their server, thus taking the flakely firmware out of the equation!
So what happens if for any reason the IP address issued by DHCP to the modem changes as can happen? The tunnel has been disrupted and cannot be re-established because the IP address has changed.

Or what have I misunderstood? Remember, I'm seeking guidance as to whether I should be telling our ISP to put the SH back into router mode.
