Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

And yet when problems first surfaced we were told bridge mode would be the priority.

Glad I'm offski!!!

just seen on the VM forums from Mark_Wilkin

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

that says it all:

"improves the situation"

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

well ignition says there is a new superhub on the way so bridge mode is irrelevant

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Oh goody, more junk to add to my collection. :)

Let's see what's in this large jiffy bag under my desk. Ah yes 1 x media hub, which incidentally worked quite well and 1 x ambit 250 which also worked well. Still plenty of room for a netgear superdud. :D

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

you can put the Netgear superhub there, as the new superhub won't be made by netgear

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

What makes you think that?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

There isn't a 'new' SuperHub on the way, and bridge mode is still relevent for those that want it

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I dont think the fact that Netgear made thr first one was the issue, it was just a half assed job rushed through without any proper testing.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

i agree bridge mode is relevant for those stuck with the netgear turd

whats on the way then, there was some speculation in another thread...

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

The new device has already been commissioned, manufacturer selected, cash spent on development, etc.

You may want to ask the relevant people Ben. Or wait a few months for it to hit testing.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I know exactly what is coming and it's not a 'new' SuperHub. It's the same technical spec as the current one, just from a different supplier

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Anyone know how to jump on board this beta test? Had my superhub for a few months now and it's running like a dream, wired and wirelessly on 1 pc and 2 laptops, would love to partake in future developments etc...

Thanks...

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Keep checking the VM website for Mark to ask for testers then apply.

The tech specs may be the same, the outside appearence may be the same. Essentially the guts of it will be new, the firmware better and reliability, wireless and throughput better.

Be nice to know who the new manufacturer will be.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Don't think I suggested otherwise, the Superhub is pretty much a reference design after all. Doesn't change that the current revision is made by Netgear, the new one isn't. That it will have firmware written at gunpoint with summary execution for failure is a bonus.

I have defended the Superhub's hardware, it's good! Netgear's firmware is garbage. It's like taking a 128 bit processor and having it run 8 bit code.
