Hi
Would appreciate some help and confirmation please.
Currently on VM Residential with SHUB3
Imminently switching to VMB 350/20 with 5 static IPs
This being done as I need to connect 2 separate routers for 2 different work purposes (and normal home use). It will be an Asus RT ac87u and a Cisco with vpn
So:
1) setting up with the HItron I get a block of 5 IPs. First IP goes to Hitron and I assign 1 each go the other 2 devices (I’m assuming I don’t need to do anything with the other 2 addresses?)
2) gateway for each will be IP of HItron?
3) what do I need to enter for subnet please?

The Cisco will come preconfigured from the company with the gateway/subnet details I provide but for the Asus:
4) this is the one that handles DHCP as usual for my home kit right?
5) can I set “fixed” lan IPs from the Asus as I’m currently doing from the SHUB3? (This is to access things like app for my cctv of home server etc)?
6) for the CCTV (say) I need to enter the IP address (currently the dynamic IP of the residential service) . Do I enter the static IP of the Asus here?
7) finally (!) for now :-) between now and next week when the Hitron arrives, as my Asus has arrived I was thinking of putting the SHUB3 into modem mode and setting up the dhcp etc on the Asus. Obviously I’ll need to change the gateway and subnet settings but will all the other things (setting up lan IPs for my kit) stay as is when I swap out to the Hitron?

Many thanks !
