Hub 5x WORKING modem mode

after reading another user post I managed to get the modem working on the Hub 5x , I did the following step, and the only caveat is you can not use the 10Gbe port.

  1. Connect your own router to one of the 1Gb port (1-3) whilst having the fibre and power also connected but no other ethernet or wireless clients
  2. via your own router LAN side access the VM Hub (the reason for this is the hub only sees the WAN MAC address of your router and no others)
  3. now factory reset the Hub
  4. once the Hub has rebooted browse to http://192.168.0.1 and configure the password for it, once you are on the standard status page access http://192.168.0.1/?page=modemmode and enable it.
  5. the Hub should reboot and assign your device an IP if it does not try and power cycle your device. it can take several minutes to assign so be patient.
