Hey ccarmock,

It's a VMDG480 with business firmware, so I guess you're right. The subnet's set at 255.255.255.248. It looks like the Hub's not doing any NAT with static. The 2 guest SSIDs on the Superhub remain dynamic/sticky, even if the gateway is static. Would have preferred to have my Asus RT66-U do the routing as it's got far better range, but the engineer told me I would need to tunnel to it, and that's beyond what I'm prepared to learn right now!

Anyhow, as rhyds said, it's working now. Just need to get my head around the fact that the Pi needs super-robust firewalling, iptables and fail2ban before I throw her to the hounds!
