Wouldn't be surprising if VM have removed it as BT don't allow it on their latest routers. Seems the standard ISP routers are removing these options - perhaps they don't want people to be able to run pings all day to their routers.
Yeah, another reason why I am staying clear of our the Smart Hub 2 Router, its too locked down for my liking, my router allows me to have our connection setup as I like, sure it took a lot of reading up to get it how I want it.
I do understand why for the most of users the ISP Routers might be fine, but I would like a choice to be allowed to have full control on our connection like I do on our current 3rd party router which is miles better than BT's Smart Hubs currently are.
