I have seen posts where allegedly the later model revisions for the superhub can't be run in modem only mode, but I have a version 2 superhub which runs just fine as a modem, run a cable from it to your device, I think I had to clone the MAC address but that was all I needed to do

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
