Virgin VoIP Issue

Phones are unable to provision, or phones provision but drop calls, or any random behavior of your phone. Applies to Hitron Router on Virgin.

Virgin VoIP Solution

To solve this problem, you will need to turn your Virgin Hitron Router on to modem only mode, and pass it through to a third party router.

Please follow the instructions below or contact Virgin for support

Configuring your Virgin Router into Modem Mode

Step 1:
Login to the GUI by typing IP address 192.168.0.1 into your browser. Then enter your username and password.

Step 2:
You should now see the router ‘Status‘ page. This will tell you all the basic information about your Hitron CGNV4.

Step 3:
Navigate to the ‘Basic Settings‘ page using the links in the header.

Step 4:
Select the ‘Gateway function‘ option from the left hand menu. This will then show two capability options – ‘RG function‘, and ‘UPNP IGD’. Both should be enabled as defaults.

Step 5:
Next to the ‘RG function‘, select the ‘Disabled‘ button. This will take the modem out of ‘Residential Gateway‘ mode and enable ‘Modem only Mode‘.

Step 6:
The device will now reboot into ‘Modem only Mode‘. You’ll now see the following message - "[Success] Changes have been saved. Modem will reboot, please wait…"

You‘ll now be ready to use your Hitron CGNV4 in ‘Modem only Mode‘. To access the Hitron GUI from now on, you‘ll need to use the IP address 192.168.100.1 until the ‘RG function‘ is enabled again.

"We have been fearing VOIP phones as we live in a rural location with no mobile signal. The condition of our BT landline is so bad that we are no longer able to hear customers clearly and after nearly ten years with no help from BT or Openreach and after much research we chose Telephone Systems. We were also nervous as we use Starlink for our internet connection."

By Queensborough Group BB

"About on year ago I took a decision that I have been trying to take for about ten years. The decision? To move my small family business to VOIP phones and hope that they now work OK (2022!) , with good support and fallback systems. Well I did not need to worry .... I chose a local company with a good reputation and off we sailed. The experience with Telephone Systems has been truly faultless and we have been handled with kid gloves all the way through. The system is excellent on call quality and we have flexible access to the same fixed monthly call charges via user mobile phones too. If you are looking at hosted VOIP service do give this company a chance to quote. Excellent service supporting our self install, no "hard sell", simple, fair and transparent capped pricing and no long term contract. We don't need anything else!"
