Re: Firmware R37
 

hence the numerous updates over the last 2 years and it is still pants. I have a funny feeling they have given up trying to fix it which is why shub2 is coming out.

Re: Firmware R37
 

I am not saying this in a nasty way but the shortcomings of the shub have been done to death in numerous posts , no offence meant :)

Re: Firmware R37
 

Sure - I didn't take it as anything offensive. But the shortcomings of the SH are exactly what people hope R37 will resolve. Injecting reality into the discussion including even deeper insights as to how it works can only be helpful. Most people on here would agree with that.

If the SH2 is the Netgear CG4000TD then we hope, as I said, that lessons learned by VM will have been passed on to Netgear.

It'll soon be ripped open and a Qasi judgement provided on top of exepriments like I'll do with wireless range versus the Airport Extreme.

The Netgear forn factor usually remains constant. I think I read somewhere that the CG3101D non-VM version has three postage stamps instead of the 2two in the SH. If the CG4000 is el-cheapo'd by VM then I expect more fun and games in the forums. As I say, if lessons are learned and a world class product arrives, then hats off and the forums will be short of material!!

Re: Firmware R37
 

I can't find any public info on the CG4000 yet, but if it is simultaneous dual-band with internal antennas, it'll likely have 5.

No idea about the CG3101D but the VMDG480's wireless chip (and consequently, number of "postage stamps") is modular and can be changed by the purchaser (i.e. VM).

Anyhow I do hope the simulations for the antenna are off, because if so, pretty much all other problems can be fixed with firmware (or as Seph says, hanging it upside down off the ceiling in the middle of the room).

If they are accurate, then the only way they can ever fix it firmware wise is to get DFS working and you to run all your networks at 5.7Ghz... Right now the SH firmware only supports 4 channels at 5Ghz, out of 24 (presumably because the firmware is incapable of DFS, which is disappointingly common these days)

The statement says
It looks like the the smaller packages (like last time) maybe are the first ones for today or the first days
Just looked at VM forums and not mention about any one got it yet
I have rebooted the modem 2 times by now if will help to download the firmware but nothing

Re: Firmware R37
 

Looks like they're upgrading the customers on their packages with the lowest customers...

Re: Firmware R37
 

Yes, same as they've done with the previous updates

From the community:

Hi I've had it confirmed that we'll be pushing R37 out from Midnight tonight to the users on these broadband packages:

S, S5, M, M20, M10, 100, XXL100

Thanks

Re: Firmware R37
 

No R37 until tomorrow I'm afraid.

Re: Firmware R37
 

I have 100Mb and no joy yet !

Re: Firmware R37
 

how hard is it to understand those on

will get it midnight tonight! 12am onwards - 29th November 2012 stick it in your diary.

Re: Firmware R37
 

Is that a Virgin diary where anything you put in it never happens on the correct date :)

Re: Firmware R37
 

no its a date and time you should allow to pass before saying you haven't got it yet.

Re: Firmware R37
 

What are you hoping to get out of R37? What issue do you hope it will resolve?

Re: Firmware R37
 

if S5 is 5mbit, M10 is 10mbit and M20 is 20mbit, wtf is M? Before they do anything else I think they should clean up the tiers.
