Hi Martin, If you login it gives you the option to put it in modem mode, if that is not there then you may need to call VM to force a firmware upgrade to show the option.
This will disable the wireless and all other router functions and turn it into a modem.

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?
