SuperHub has 4 Gigabit ethernet ports.

With this in mind it is possible to use open DNS on all devices to filter out some attack problems and the firewall is always active on the Mac. Note that open DNS has to be added manually to each device.

if your on about "the mac" as in a mac computer the firewall isnt on by default just so you know:)

Honestly I want the superhub, I couldnt be annoyed with 2 pieces of equipment and having to work in Bridge mode, and even then I still dont think my problem with upload speed would be resolved.

But its nice just to hear some common sense from people instead of the usual that has went before :)


:cool:

That's port translation which the superhub doesn't do. I've just set the server to use the same high port I use on the clients so it's one of the many things which you can work around but this is the first router I've seen which doesn't support translation.

I don't think I had it in long enough to set up my port forwards list, to be honest... there had been a bunch of other problems so it was relegated to switch as I didn't have gigabit/wireless N on any other devices at the time, then when it failed at that it just got stuck in the cupboard with all my spare routers. Not surprised it won't do translation though. Chances are it never will.

Upgrading from 50mb to 100mb next week. Hope my superhub works ok when it comes!

don't mean to hijack the thread, but is anyone running a slingbox successfully without any issues like setting up port forwarding through the superhub?

I have had no issues with portfordwarding in the hub, can use ftp,ssh into pc, torrents run fine, RDP works and gaming well I was getting alot of disconnects up until recent but they have now stopped.

If you have the VMNG300 you can keep that for 100Mb service, though you might need to barter/banter with the install tech to make it happen. I would though.

Ill try. they told me over the phone it wasnt possible, but i have since read this forum and see it is possible. I just recently bought a new buffalo router with dd-WRT on it, and id much rather keep that.

Is it true the superhub cant do dual band g / n? Cos i really need it to.
