Follow to the letter:
1) Switch your Hub to hub/wireless mode
2) Make a note of your external IP (Just so we know if it has worked or not)
3) Power off the hub
4) Unscrew the coax from the hub
5) Power ON the hub (with coax removed)
6) Wait 2 minutes. Not one second less. You need your hub to go into ranging, as if there's a fault on the network and it constantly tries to reconnect. 2mins. Set a timer.
7) WITHOUT POWERING OFF THE HUB, screw the coax back in.
8) Wait until your hub is back on the network (this can take upwards of 10mins, but is usually faster). Resist the urge to reboot until you've given it at least 10mins. Your devices (PC, etc.) might not realise they've got internet access back until you reboot them as well. If at this point you can't get online, do a logical reboot (Shut everything down, boot hub, wait until light is good, boot PC, etc.)
9) Check your external IP - it should be different.
10) Profit? (check netflix)

Just tried it, not made any difference. Netflix still doesnt work and got the same IP still in wireless mode after it.
Like i said only solution is for me to stay in modem mode. It just means I have to reboot hub and change to V6 every day for my V6 box usage
