Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

The modem chip should be up to the job, seems like all the problems ar firmware based.

That is only my opinion though (To stop the pedants!:D) but based on this.

I will add the VMNG300 needed several firmware updates before it got as good as it is but, they were done in less time and weren't causing as many problems as the SH is or appears to.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

yeah I have commented that I think the modem side of the superhub is fine. Its issues all seem related to the router side of it and possibly also how the modem integrates with the router as well.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

On that point, does any one here know the versions of software a VMNG300 should be at? I'm only asking as I know a friend who managed to get a new one, and was wondering if the firmware will be upgraded at some point. :)

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

why would it be upgraded?

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Because it was shiny new out of the box, apparently, so I was told .....:)

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

mine is 3.11.1201 and I have a feeling it was flashed while I was on the phone as they sent a few things to it which needed 2 reboots before I could use it.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

mine needed 2 or three re-boots after is was activated, he said on the phone that the firmware will be updating.

either way, the updates go out automatically. Just like with the superhub, once you re-boot it, you automatically have the new firmware.

By the way, mine wasnt in a box, it had plastic wrapping and bubble wrap, and looked brand new, but it had events in the event log from 2009

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

yeah mine was clean but had no box etc. it was even delivered by the postman, he had to knock on door with letters in hand and my vmng300 LOL.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

same, it was very quick delivery though, less than 24 hours

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

yeah was fast, I think if I remember right shipped on friday and here monday morning. Also the plug it came with makes a weird noise, luckily its the exact same spec as the superhub plug so I am using the superhub plug with mine. Although I do wonder if its the right plug as yes my vmng300 did come with a plug that has a netgear label on it.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

mine was shipped tuesday, and here by wednesday. the CEO office is in manchester i think, so its not that far from me

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Thanks guys, I'll err, get my friend to check the firmware later this evening.
The modem was delivered by an engineer who stayed through the whole process of installing, removing the S'Hub and waited until power levels, upload & download tests/checks were finished. It all looked very shiny, plastic wrapped and new. Nothing in the Event log from an earlier time.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

mine says

Software Version : 3.11.1201

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Its the wrong one if it says netgear on it

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

yuou have the right spec for it?

I can then use one of those multi adaptor plugs set to right setting.
