How do I use my Smart Hub as a modem only?

You'll need to enable the Bridging feature.

From the Hub Manager home page, go to -

  • Advanced Settings
  • Broadband
  • Routing
  • Enable Bridging

When you enable Bridge mode, your Hub will act as a modem only. This will disable any router features, such as NAT, DHCP, and DNS.
