VirgimMedia SH3 Access
Hello All
I have my virgin media SH3 setup in modem mode, and the Orbi RBR350 connected acting as the router.
I can access the Orbi router to change / look at settings, my question is how can I access the SH3 settings, I want to look at the logs and check a few things.
I cannot see an IP address listed in the Orbis attached devices for this.
Any help please
Terry

Ok. I might ask how, exactly, you did that.

Ask Virgin?

Attached Devices report.A modem (only, bridge mode) does not need an IP address. It's not
immediately obvious that what you want is possible. Hence: Ask Virgin?A DOCSIS cable-TV modem should respond at "192.168.100.1"; what your
"SH3" might offer along those lines is unknown to me. Virgin, or other
Virgin SH3 users, might know more.Thanks for the reply, I was kind of expecting that it was just a bridge being in modem mode.
When the orbi was first connected the SH3 was in default mode as router so I connected to it in the normal way, and made it modem only, so that the Orbi was the router.
It works fine but I have had the modem reboot today and I wondered what if any the logs said on the SH3, but I cannot access it so, might as you suggest ask Virgin.
I could try connecting my laptop with ethernet directly to the SH3 and see what goes, but possibly Virgin first.
Thanks for the quick reply
