Hi Martin, I'm sure there's an option in the 'superhub' to put it into "modem" mode from past experience there used to be.
Looks like other people do this:- http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Wireless-Networking/Adding-own-router-to-superhub-in-modem-mode/td-p/1134753/page/3 Best regards, James Greig -----Original Message----- From: uknof [mailto:uknof-boun...@lists.uknof.org.uk] On Behalf Of Martin J.

I've just brought over an 802.11ac router to the UK and realized the Virgin Media broadband "superhub" (it's a netgear box) is a router/wifi box. I want to run the new box as the router. It's just an Ethernet box; no cable-modem. Is there a prescribed way to run a connection with Virgin Media in modem mode using their own box; ie run your own router? Do I need to but a modem? The "superhub" seems to be remotely managed. I don't want to go change things too much. Thoughts? Martin
