Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

Pity they didn't think of that in the beginnig JB, there would be no calling it derogatory juvinile names then would there.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

well i wouldnt want a big router which doesnt do any routing, id rather have a smaller modem, with a separate router alongside

there is a new superhub coming along, but its identical, the only difference being that its from another vendor

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

Well you will be able to use the Superhub as a standalone modem once the firmware is on offer apart from that the will not be an option for a another modem to be supplied as the is already a lot of money invested in the hubs.

Right got it now , still would like modem/router combined.

:dunce:

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

im not richard branston in disguise, im not planning putting a proposal to VM asking them to bring out a new modem, im only asking what people would prefer

sorry, it wasnt very well explained, but yeah, for basic needs, a cheap modem/router combined is probably a good option

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

That's what you will have. To use it as a modem only is up to you.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

I know that but soon enough we will have modem mode and this thread will no longer be needed.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

thats providing the modem mode works, which im sure it will, the programmers for netgear are more than capable of producing a good piece of firmware

and id rather have a smaller device, like the VMNG than the superhub if it is acting as a standalone modem, as it defeats the object if you have two bigger sized routers sat next to eachother

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

I'm first in line to try the other vendor one

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

being a tech, you will probably have one in your van, but as the netgear and the unknown other vendor will be mixed in, its going to be pot luck as to what us commoners get

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

Not sure how you will tell the difference, probably by MAC address I expect as it will not have the brand externally.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

well I doubt it will say "Netgear" on the back as the current one does, so that will be one way to tell ;)

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

I imagine it would be cisco, seem to have a good relationship with vm and the TiVo isn't bad for 1st attempt.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

Computer says no, not a single guess has been anywhere near so it will be a surprise.

I cannot say anything more though so do not ask.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router
 

i also know who it is ;)
