Archer VR2800 & Virgin Hub3
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have managed to set my virgin hub to modem. after many searches and videos watched, i know to remove all the ethernet cables & only use port 1 & to use the wan port on the Archer but after that i seem to be stuck. All the other comments i have found on this refer to different models and says to change the archer to wifi mode but this doesnt appear in the menu (as far as i can tell)
do i need the username and password details from virgin to be able to do this or am i just getting the sequence of plugging and unplugging wrong?
could someone please give me a list of simple steps to take after turning the virgin hub into modem only
thanks
Upon successful configuration you should have the following screen: Internet icon with yellow checkmark (not a red cross):
Internet Status: Connected
Connection Type: Dynamic IP
IP address: <your public IP address>
If you have followed the instructions in the threads I posted you should be fine.
There's also a plenty of posts in the VirginMedia community about this type of configuration.
Let us know the outcome.
1. Change the VR2800 operation mode to wireless router:
2. Delete existing internet connections if any and Add new one of type Dynamic IP:
3. Click Save button when done configuring.
4. Connect ethernet cable between port 1 of the VM Hub3 to VR2800's LAN4/WAN port.
5. Restart VM Hub3 and then restart VR2800.
