    Hi, I was configuring external router to resolve issues with wifi coverage in my home, and to do so:
    1. I installed TP-Link M4 mesh system in router mode (192.168.0.x with DHCP range 192.168.0.100-150) and set up Internet connection in "ds-lite" mode with address "aftr01.upc.ie"
    2. Disabled DHCP on Virgin Media hub.

    Now, internet actually works on all devices connected to TP-Link routers, but I have no idea how to connect to Virgin Media Hub configuration page - can anyone help here?

    P.S.: well, there is a workaround to connect old PC via ethernet cable to the hub, manually assign it 192.168.0.x IP to the PC and then go to http://192.168.0.1 address and it works, but it takes ages to power this old PC on, and mess with the cables in the storage room, while I can't access the hub from any other device at home

    Hi. First of all, you should set your VM Hub up as a modem. It should be an individual option available when you log in to the Hub. If it's not there ask Virgin Media to set it up. You will need to connect by ethernet cable to the HUB.
