Not all device makers code "modem only" mode or passthrough mode properly. or they make it difficult to get functioning properly.
It sucks when this happens.
What I'd try doing?
Put the super hub back in router mode.
You can then either put the RAX's ip address into the super hubs dmz or you can place the RAX in access point mode. this prevents a double nat.
If you'd like you can leave the super hub's wifi running but you'd want to make sure its on different channels than the RAX. or you can disable wifi.

Thanks for the reply! I intially had it set up similar to that and had all the same problems so went right back to basics to keep it simple, although I dont believe I put the router IP into the DMZ so will try that and let you know how it goes.
