Nice blast from the past, but was it actually Plant who spoke the words? It sounded more like a 'Radio Announcer' ;)

Let's not stray too far off topic please.

Hot air? I think not. Patience, my friend.

What was originally known as Bridge mode was targetted for release in mid-May. Changing it's name to Modem Mode and/or R27 (or is it now R28?) doesn't change the fact that it's very, very late. There was a way to do it using ssh but they closed that off; if only they could produce 'official' features at the same speed.

We shouldn't need patience, we shouldn't even need bridge mode, we should have got a decent hub with a router at least on par with the dlink615

I should have prefixed my post with [OT] as I was referring to the iPad 2 JB
Appologies for the confusion.

Spot on. That would have been my preference.

I eventually lost patience and any confidence that the next firmware release when it eventually arrives will fix the router side. OK I will be able to bypass it with modem mode but why should I have to run an oversized modem with a very strange connector arrangement making it even more awkward to site.

No doubt designed by the same 14 year old who is trying to write the firmware. :rolleyes:

Yeah, having the port status lights on the back is cheaper to manufacture but makes no sense from a visibility standpoint. Better to have even cheaper "no-light" gigabit ethernet ports if it's going to be on the back of the router.

Looks like you can now apply to be part of the R28 beta: Link

Please can someone give the date when the Superhub was first available to consumers? I understand it was alpha tested by staff beforehand but I'm curious to know when it got installed to customers.

Many thanks.

They offered it for beta testing to a select customer base late last year. Don't quote me on this but I believe the general release was the new year.

Are you referring to the fact that 100Mb was available to a 'select customer base' due to only certain areas having that service offering at the time? Or do you mean that hardware 'beta testing' was happening, with customers, before 100Mb was available to order?

Superhub was released (onto 50mb) I believe beginning of December last year, then onto 30mb and 100mb as the services became available.

Excuse my referencing, the 'select customer base' being the 100mb triallers.
