Keeping Virgin Hub but want Bridging to remain

Irish Gunner

I am moving house and the virgin hub that I have I was told I can keep or recycle

I had it bridged to a TP Link router and used this for the wifi and for 2.4 and 5 ghz splits

Just wondering when I move into new house can I use this again and not change anything other than the wifi password

Just dont want to go through the process again to bridge another hub

Not sure if Virgin engineer will do it save me the time when they install it?

The SH3 I received in November has a tick box in the configuration pages to enable bridge mode. Was this available when you set yours up?

You need to have horizon free disabled and be on an ipv4 IP address before the bridge option becomes available.

They most likely will not do it as it isn't a feature that Virgin officially support.

Are you doing a self-install or has the engineer to come out to sort out the wiring?

They did it for me over chat.

I think I rang Virgin to disable something as followed post on this forum and did it myself

Once that was done I logged into router via browser and also TP Link c8 to change settings and use that as main router

Wifi ok in the house

Not in new house yet and virgin rep will come out as looking for extra points so can hardwire PC.

I know engineers some do 'Nixers' and some don't so will see as also looking at getting wifi mesh to have better control of usage in the house
