Least the wifi was stable on this, the sh1 was so painfull i used to put it in modem mode and install dlinks

I was on the phones when this rolled out, we had nothing but complaints about the wireless on it :(

Mostly to do with range, it barely covered a room.

It crashed constantly before it received a firmware update. I was... upset by this given I was working from home 2 days a week and received the modem mode firmware update early.

Ah, is that what the number was? I couldn't remember - it has been more than half a decade since I had to deal with it.

The Dlink was a good workhorse for it's time especially when flashed with DD-WRT!

Re: Hub 3.0

I got a new van about a month back, had a clear out and found 2 d-links brand new in the box from my service days!

Re: Hub 3.0

Always good to keep as a standby, may not be up to present speeds but will be good in an emergency to get internet access for your home network.
Better than nothing.

If you don't want them I'll take them off your hands.:D

Re: Hub 3.0

I have a hub 3.0 running in modem mode as I went through retentions to improve the price of my package.

The only issues I have are:

1. the increase ping for the router. (I believe this is better on the beta firmware).
2. my hub locks on 9 downstreams only. I know there are 12 active in my area. Presumably its done that on the pool at the ubr level (I see some other people stats on the community forum only having 9 downstreams). My area suffers from congestion in peak times. (its still usable though) so I was hoping to lock onto more downstreams from the start.

Re: Hub 3.0

no. my base ping has increased since installing the new hub 3.0 . you can see the affect by pinging the modem itself.

I see others connecting with 12/16 channels with the new hub and that will be the maximum channels allocated to their area so its a configuration thingat the ubr. No matter what channel set you get locked on (they share 4 channels) the congestion is there anyway.
