Good morning, I posted this in the networking forum but thought it my be more relevant here...

My VF hub died on me so I thought I would try to install a third-party router to get myself working instead of waiting for an engineer.

Does anyone know how to configure a Netgear Orbi to work on HFC please? I have a new ultrahub for now but I'm keen to use the ORBI as I'll be movin to a bigger flat very soon.

I'm told it might be something to do with the VLAN settings.

I've configured home networks before so I would consider myself reasonably competent.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, the HFC/FibreX product uses vlan10 as does the UFB, this makes sense as it means Voda can use a common config for both. Essentially its tagged vlan10 with DHCP, to save me detailing more below is a link to explain, very easy to setup.
