As Gary says. However please note that it doesn't put SSH or SNMP ports into pass-thru and maintains these as captive on the router so it isn't a 100% bridge (just to naff you off if you want to SNMP a device behind it from the outside)

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?
