    Yes you can connect directly to the ONT with those settings and then you can change the DNS etc.

    How do you manage the two network card interfaces,one in LAN and other in WAN !?

    Recently upgraded to the 2Gb plan, but was stuck behind double NAT etc until this evening when I finally got around to replacing the VM Hub with a X-ONU-SFPP.

    Happy out now.

    Just some light browsing, maybe the odd video.


    In reality, it seems to be some bug on the UniFi side. Whenever I rebooted the VM router, it would somehow start reporting that I was downloading at >250Gbps. Unfortunately, that isn’t quite the case :)

    Regarding modem mode, the below worked for me after getting ipv4 enabled by Virgin Media.

    1. Open chrome and log into the VM router
    2. Press F12 (chrome) for Dev tools
    3. Select Console tab and past in the below and hit enter

    You should now see the Modem Mode page link.

    Note, changing the setting is unverified to work from my side, as I have a wan dhcp lease reset issues I'm trying to get fixed first before trying it.

    Anyone getting their wan ipv4 address lease renewed every ~50 seconds or so? which drops all connections on ipv4 (ipv6 still works) but zscaler/vpn etc drop continually becasue of it.

    The router gets the correct dhcp lease window, but it just keeps resetting anyway, confirmed as below.

    • 1. Open chrome and log into the VM router
    • 2. Press F12 (chrome) for Dev tools
    • 3. Select Console tab and past in the below and hit enter

    I get the below printout

    Notice the count down on the ipv4 lease gets to 86351 then restes back to 86400, the is the dhcp renew and internet drop. These values are pulled directly from the router, so it has to be a config issue of some kind on the VM side.

    Router info page also confirms it, it never gets into M:58, just restarts the seconds count down again from S:60 and M:59 remains.

    Any have feedback on what it might be or how to fix? been having this isuses since monday morning, did a router reste and lost the ipv4 alltogether, then got it enabled again, same issue.
