But the will never be enough people to persuade them otherwise, this is a business decision and they have a contract with Netgear to supply both hubs.

sigh why would I want a superhub in the first place. I have a server that does my routing. I do not need a router or wireless I just want to keep my 50mbit modem and setup as it has been.

business's change all the time. However I would expect to at least use their superhub stock up before backtracking so they havent wasted so much cash.

This is really the needs of tech support staff vs customers, as it appears to be released to make life easier for VM tech support. A few more bad press releases's customers leaving, not upgrading etc. and that will talk more than staff happiness.

I think you forgot that the will be a contract in place and that they have not just bought a job lot of these hubs.

like the contract for all past hardware thats now been ditched? it will be no different. it will be subject to certian requirements.

Contracts finish and new ones are signed all the time, but money talks.;)

We've recently upgraded to the SuperHub (20mb -> 30mb) and I'll have to say, it's not been a good experience.

22mbps download speed, flaky and weak wireless, "freezes" every 10 minutes or so and that's just off the top of my head! I then changed to the "DMZ Setup" with our DD-WRT-running router which now gives us the full 30mbps and is a lot more stable.

However, I can't connect to the router externally on the public IP. Is this one of the those "lost functionalities" mentioned in this thread that the DMZ setup causes?

I am interested in this also, are you running PPTP or OpenVPN or something else?

Not at the moment, I'm referring to the SSH service on the DD-WRT router. I can access it internally, but not externally. It doesn't even get rejected, it just times out.

I'm guessing it is because the router is being sent the connection request (via DMZ) but it doesn't know the connection request is for it, because its address (192.168.0.2) is not the one being connected to (eg. 89.120.35.233).

That'd be the whole point of DMZ to begin with - to remap the target IP address to the one on your local network

Never mind, I fixed it!

There are two separate settings on DD-WRT, I hadn't enabled the remote access for SSH.. funnily enough, it helps :)

Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub
 
the response to these problems always seems to be: wait until the firmware update.

Hang on a minute.

how can a software update increase wireless speeds. surely thats a hardware problem

It's not that simple (the hardware/software divide) - this may clarify things.....

Today, in some circles, the word firmware has evolved to sometimes even denote application-level programs stored in NAND flash or NOR flash memory (such as in mobile phones and similar products). However, a more fundamental definition would still be fixed or semi-fixed data in a hardware device. This may include ROM and/or PLA structures for microcode and other data in a processor implementation as well as the low level machine code stored in ROM or flash memory running on that processor (i.e. many products use several levels of firmware). Microcode and other data in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs) would also fit that definition very well. The same could be said about programmable logic devices which may have configuration data stored either as internal fuses, in a ROM, or in a flash memory (used much the same way as a ROM or EPROM).

haha.

it can resolve it by the bridge mode then putting the routing responsibility onto a decent wireless router. :)
