Put Hub 3.0 in modem mode on 192.168.0.1. Turn it off. You MUST TURN IT OFF NOW.

TP Link Archer VR2800 192.168.1.1 > "Operation mode" > "Wireless router mode" (was "DSL Modem/Router mode" by default).

Custom configs we had, not sure if mandatory:

Dynamic DHPC mode
Unicast DHCP

Wait for TP link to fully reboot.

Connect port 4 of tp link (marked WAN/LAn) to port 1 of VM Hub (unmarked, but it is magic, has to be port 1).

Finally, AFTER everything else is setup, turn on the Hub and wait for a few minutes. It ONY WORKS if you turn it on after everything is setup.

Outcome:

hub light turns purple: www.reddit.com/r/VirginMedia/comments/c703t6/purple_light_on_the_box/
Archer WAN light turns on white. Not red. Red means error
you have Wifi. Notably, the 5G Wifi is way way faster and reaches the WAN limit of 256 Mbps.
Ethernet does not work anymore on either Hub nor Archer, Wifi only. But it doesn't matter because the 5G Wifi already reaches the speed limit.

Things actually have gotten more and more closed, e.g. of stuff getting paywalled with time:

It appears that things got really bad starting in 2017, possibly when WebLearn was introduced. When things migrated to Canvas, they were closed by default, apparently with any mechanism to publish publicly.

Therefore, they managed to make things more closed than when teachers would just upload to good old ox.ac.uk/~name static websites!!

Ciro Santilli has also heard that some people in the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford opposed to moving away from their Moodle instance precisely because the new options did not support open publishing, so kudos to those people. But most teachers likely don't care and just do whatever is the best internally supported default.

Their "open" video material: podcasts.ox.ac.uk/ A somewhat small part is Creative Commons, but most proprietary. Despite the name "podcasts", they do contain video, it is just a relic.

podcasts.ox.ac.uk/open contains actual Creative Commons only it seems.

It does however appear that professors own their lecture notes, so there some hope maybe: governance.admin.ox.ac.uk/legislation/statute-xvi-property-contracts-and-trusts#collapse1383636
