Archer VR2800 & Virgin Hub3
I have managed to set my virgin hub to modem. after many searches and videos watched, i know to remove all the ethernet cables & only use port 1 & to use the wan port on the Archer but after that i seem to be stuck. All the other comments i have found on this refer to different models and says to change the archer to wifi mode but this doesnt appear in the menu (as far as i can tell)
do i need the username and password details from virgin to be able to do this or am i just getting the sequence of plugging and unplugging wrong?
could someone please give me a list of simple steps to take after turning the virgin hub into modem only
thanks

@terziyski thanks i had seen that.
I have not had a problem switching the hub to modem only, i have removed all wires
i do not have a problem setting the VR2800 to wireless router mode, i have connected the cable to the wan port on VR2800 & port 1 (top one) on Hub3, dhcp is set to enabled
it all seems to go fine but there is no wifi available
tried it in different order, rebooting, still nothing
so i must be missing a step

@terziyski the lights on the VR2800 are all green except the internet light is orange/red showing there is no connection, when i test the connection it is saying there is no internet ie the diagram showing each step is showing as not connected at step 1

Upon successful configuration you should have the following screen: Internet icon with yellow checkmark (not a red cross):
Internet Status: Connected
Connection Type: Dynamic IP
IP address: <your public IP address>
If you have followed the instructions in the threads I posted you should be fine.
There's also a plenty of posts in the VirginMedia community about this type of configuration.
Let us know the outcome.

and then use the IP from here and the gateway etc?

1. Change the VR2800 operation mode to wireless router:
2. Delete existing internet connections if any and Add new one of type Dynamic IP:
3. Click Save button when done configuring.
4. Connect ethernet cable between port 1 of the VM Hub3 to VR2800's LAN4/WAN port.
5. Restart VM Hub3 and then restart VR2800.
