lenere118 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi, Was wondering if anything had any trouble setting up their new R2 router with Virgin. My Router is currently in Modem Mode with an existing router works fine moment i plug in to set the netduma the netduma is reporting as "No active internet connection" but if i plug the new router in my old router it picks the internet up. Followed guide on set up no luck at all. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated. hi and welcome to the forum. unplug the power from the R2. make sure ethernet cable goes from wan in the r2 to the bottom lan port on the superhub. reboot the superhub and wait til you have a solid purple light to ensure it is fully online then connect the power to the r2.

Feel like i've factory reset both routers you have to perform a "boot sequence" superhub reboot and once it is fully linked then you power on the R2. Failure to follow these steps will result in a none connection. my 2nd connection to our house is virgin on sh3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again. as the R2 is sold globally it wouldn't work to provide instructions for specific isp's. Glad you finally got the answer that you wanted. This instruction is also in the help section of your sh3 user guide so it is not just down to Netduma! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 Have you accessed the interface and completed the setup wizard? If not you will need to do this before you're able to get a connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenere118 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 @Netduma Fraser Yes, this is where it's telling me no internet connection. Seems like a stupid thing not to do as its the first thing you are instructed to do when you turn the router on. Thanks, leonard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click to setup manually there then skip it to get through the interface. I'm with Virgin and I find the modem mode to be a bit finicky, can you change it to router mode, then reboot the R2 from the interface and see if you get a connection?

So if router is in router mode > r2 fine if router is in modem mode > my current router > r2 fine if router is in modem mode > r2 no connection So i think the r2 router is fine, cause when a different devices passes through the internet it works.

The only thing i see on this tutorial is different is setting WAN interface to DHCP client . I will try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 It should be plug and play really with the VM Hub, if rebooting the R2 doesn't work in when VM is in modem mode and clicking apply on DHCP in WAN Settings doesn't then I'd recommend you keep the VM in router mode - it's how I have mine setup.

I shouldn't have to keep it in router mode though, double NAT appears on console etc. It's really weird cause i unplugged both this morning, plugged in the VM then waited till it was back in modem mode and then booted up the Duma = " No internet connection". Then i take the cable and plug it straight in my tp link router and the internet kicks back in. This is also me checking WAN = DCHP set up.

BIG__DOG Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 ok, then try the same method I suggested and once the vm hub is fully up and running (solid purple light) press and hold the pin reset button for atleast 10 - 15 seconds on the r2and wait 2 mins and then access the r2 gui.

lenere118 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 @Netduma Fraser Ok so i've just put it into modem mode, restarted VM router let it load up and then powered up the NetDuma > plugged in via ethernet. Still no internet connection (image not working with duma in router mode) But if i unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into my current router the internet works (image working router in router mode).

lenere118 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 @BIG__DOG @Netduma Fraser Weirdly after letting it complete the setup with no internet connection and cycled through the start up it worked. I need to try flicking it back into modem mode now and test that later on. If i leave my router into router mode is there any settings you would recommend applying to the VM modem? like turn wifi off ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
