Gee, a modem that stays working for over a month! :rolleyes:

I think you should remove that red part of your sig, since you're not using it as any form of "hub". Either that, or put it back in full "super"hub modem/router/wireless mode for a couple of months, without adding your old router to extend the wireless coverage, then report on how it is.

Actually prior to R29 it had been up for 84 days as a modem/router as well and i did post that at the time.

It is still a Superhub so my signature is quite valid just it is in Modem Mode.

For what my opinion is worth, I find the above comment bizarre.

Peops have been screaming out for modem mode in the Superhub for many reasons, including perceptions of poor wirelss performance. Now that it's here, to have a go at Masque's sig and his tracked record of uptime is somewhat churlish to say the least.

You previously posted, way back, that you were using an additional router "to extend wireless coverage". I presume, now that you're using Modem Mode, that you have other arrangements for wireless access (maybe it's the same router, I don't know). Try using the "super"hub as your only network device for a while and then tell us how wonderful it is.

It's called a "hub" because it's supposed to be a combined modem + router + wireless access point. Using it in modem mode means that the router and wireless part are turned off. Therefore - in that mode - it's no longer a hub, it's just a modem; the clue is in the name of the mode. What's so good about a modem that stays active for a month?

The Superhub is yesterdays news now. The VM community forum is naturally still full of griping but Superhub woes no longer account for 50% of it. I seriously doubt that it will ever have features to match the "super" part of its name now that it can be turned into an oversized modem and the customers can use their flexible friends to buy a router to suit their needs to use with it easily.

That's pointless pedantry. Wretched device as it has been, it is called the Superhub that works in two modes, one of which is the hub to which you allude. To be so small minded as to argue the toss over its retained name - especially as it's the Superhub in Modem Mode in Masque's case, is pointless. Where's it going to take you in this debate?

It's beyond me how anyone can claim that a device called a "hub" is working Perfectly, when they've chosen to turn off two-thirds of its function. And I've been waiting months for an answer to my question "what is 'super' about it?".

Wretched and mis-named device as it still seems to be, I have to agree with kwikbreaks - it's now just an oversized modem.

Nobody's gonna answer your question about what is super in that device. You know that perfectly well. Not even the VM bods have gone that far to date. As I said, peops have been waiting a long time to shed themselves of two-thirds of its supposed functions.

It's certainly more "super" with modem mode (R30) than it was without it - even if it isn't "super" at all.

So think of something useful to say like Kwikkie did.

I used my Edimax as an access point on the end of a 20 mtr cable in another room and used the wireless of the Superhub as well and most devices when in range of both devices chose the Superhub, I am now in Modem Mode and it is working perfectly as always and has never once faltered in its performance and I have had close to 8 months.

I have posted previously about my uptime and will keep the Superhub on as long as possible to see how long it stays online.
