How to disable bridge mode
After experimenting with bridge mode I wanted to enable the router again.
But there is no obvious way to do this unless you have a router connected to the hub.
The hub’s DHCP server is disabled, so when you connect a laptop by ethernet to one of the hub’s LAN ports, it does not pick up an IP. So you can’t access 192.168.1.254 in the usual way.
The way round is to go into the ethernet adapter settings and allocate a static IP of 192.168.1.1.
Then connect to one of the hub’s LAN ports. Now you can access the hub’s web page and revert the bridge setting.
In Windows you go to the ethernet adapter properties and select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’ then Properties and then ‘use the following IP address’ - enter 192.168.1.1 and then enter 255.255.255.0 in the ‘subnet mask’.
If you find you can’t connect over wifi, just turn the hub off for ten seconds and restart it (don’t reset it!).
