Putting hub2 into modem only mode

Dymo83 · Monday

I would really appreciate some help finding the tick box/option fir putting my hub2 into modem only mode to use a 3rd party router and mesh system.

I've found information online and have managed to access the router settings via 192.168.1.254 but I can't find the option for modem only mode

I've read that it's under advance settings>broadband but I don't have anything under this option.

I'd be eternally grateful if someone could point me in the right direction or perhaps share a screenshot

Sorry to add, I cant find an option for bridging mode either!

Thanks for your reply.

I feel very stupid but I've just realised we never received the hub2 when we upgraded (we have the old hub one)

The bridging option doesn't seem to be available so have ordered the hub2 which arrives on Friday

@Dymo83

When you get the hub 2 note that you must use any of the three LAN ports as the modem output, NOT the one labelled WAN.

Thanks for the tip @Baldrick1. I think that's a common mistake, hopefully everything else goes smoothly with my mesh set up!
