Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

hope so. btw i'm by no mean going out my way to slate vm, the company i support. my posts are purely down to frustration that this whole things been a joke which i'm sure you'll agree with although you can't publicly state it. i truly hope vm pull something out the bag.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Must be good wireless G, I have never seen G hit 30mbit even on lan speeds.

The best I have seen is about 25mbit, and my sisters lappy can barely do just under 20mbit.

I did say 'fine' rather than 'perfect' but happy to be corrected on that ;)

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

I think the real probable answer to the dongle is that they wanted to add value to the 50mbit product over the 30mbit by not giving a free dongle with 30mbit. I am fine with that personally but its perhaps becoming a problem because its becoming clear on forum posts that people are expecting full performance over wireless.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Actually I already know more about it than you ever will, reinforced by the fact that just about everything you've known aboiut it so far is wrong.

Lets not forget the time I had to spend two weeks explaining to you how the router in the original Superhub worked.

Of course it is. This is obviously the same intranet that doesn't know the difference between bits and bytes, and the same intranet that accused me of lying about my contract until I sent them printed evidence from a third party.

They already un-certified the wireless part of the old Superhub for their own benefit, maybe other parties are more proactive about revoking certifications for modified products? :p:

Well the original Netgear one was also independantly tested, and certified, before VM messed around with it and cocked it up.

Well actually it is. In fact the reason my social skills are lacking is because I spent my childhood writing software and firmware instead of playing with other kids.

♪Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the Ambits died.♫

You're saying you know more about something from reading it on the net than an engineer with a device on his workbench. Lol.

I could write a thesis on all the crap your "intranet" has got wrong and all the junk you've regurgitated from it, but alas I have better things to do.

---------- Post added at 21:53 ---------- Previous post was at 21:51 ----------

Yeah, but on the other hand, VM did mess with the original Superhub after certification and uncertified it by changing the feature set and settings, so it's not 100% given that the released version will actually match what they submitted for certification (we know the original one certainly didn't).

That one staff member also acts like all he says is blessed and insists he knows better than all of us.

---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:54 ----------

Well if it's "fine" to have your connection work at half the speed it should do, that might explain why VM thought it was "fine" to release the Superhub while it was a year premature... :p:

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Well 75% really if 'G' tops out at 20Mbit and as I said, happy to be corrected on the figures.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Yeah no worries - good of you to acknowledge, unlike some people :) Just pointing out what some people may not know about '54g' not going near 54.

Though 20mbps is usually the limit under good conditions - as you move further away or get more interference it'll drop so in practice it'll often be lower. 20-24mbps out of 'g' is only next to the router with low interference - though again 'g' is a bit more resiliant than 'n' in practice.

Haven't seen anyone really benchmark the wireless performance (as in actually pushed to the limit) on these Superhubs yet mind you. But if/when I do (soon) get my own SH I shall certainly be pushing it whatever firmware it has.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

I'm not sure if R30 corrected it or not but on R26 my Superhub keeled over and hung about 15 minutes into a LAN backup when using the 300Mbps setting. It did survive on the 150Mbps setting but was slow - just how slow I don't remember exactly but did post the numbers up on the VM community board - it was in a thread that lead to them sending me a replacement which did exactly the same. It was a completely uncontrolled test of course.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Actually now that you remind me, I could take the wireless card out the Superhub and put it in my laptop, so I can do an controlled test of how "bad" the Superhub itself makes things turn - i.e. same wireless card in a PC vs. the same card in a Superhub to see what the Superhub firmware does to things.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Last time I looked R29 had problems now the R30 thread is on page 30 - I know it is very rude not to read up first, but could someone summarize where we are now? Is R30 still beta? When is it likely to be released?

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

I believe it has now been released, but may not have rolled out to everyone yet. You'll need to read others' opinions on it.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

It was released on 13-Sep-11.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

i have Just had 50mb to 100mb upgrade and got the virgin media super hub (NETGEAR CG3101D) and have probs with the R30 firmware will list in a min

funny thing is i had all most the same prob with my old NETGEAR WNR2000 for just over one year when i got my 50mb so just over a year complaining to NETGEAR got a fixed firmware that has worked with no problems for just over 2 years now one prob that i had was that the remote admin even when off was on and was set to port 80 and as i run a home web server this pretty much bugged that up so had to ues my old router and at 1st i got from NETGEAR i dont see nothing wrong with that emm it dont work i still got the vid i made to show them as well.
(bot)
now i have the super hub :erm: :dozey: lol remote admin on the R30 firmware wont turn on portforward and dmz dont work so had to put the (not so super hub) into Modem Mode and ues my NETGEAR WNR2000 for routering

the strange thing is though when in super hub mode i got a new ip as i was expecting but when i put it into Modem Mode i got my old ip that i had on my 50mb modem :confused::confused: lol and i only get 25Mbps to 48Mbps https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/09/3.png but only had the 100MB for a day so will give it till friday

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

Its released, me and a few others are not getting the firmware sent tho.

However the answers from VM staff are the people who have failed to get R30 have poor power levels, its possible it seems if the power levels are out of spec for safety reasons it aborts an update.

Currently I am not using attenuators so my power levels are high, they plan to send me a tech next week.

Re: R30 - Superhub R29 is no more....
 

The other day I had the R30 pushed to my router. We lost internet access - router status was something like "not authorised" and it would not dish out a public wan IP.
I phoned support first thing in the morning when we noticed. We had to wait 12 hours for "updates to run sir" according to India. Sure enough it came back online about 8pm after a few reboots. Not sure why we lost service for a day. Anyone explain this?
