Which manual?

Heh, that much we can agree on...

Pfft, Netgear WNDR3700 has 8 antennas.

Cisco 2602i's have only 4, but all 4 are simultaneous dual-band and with some Cisco vector beamforming, makes for some fun results. Probably outperforms those 6 by a mile (though I haven't actually played around with ours yet, the 1142's were disappointing...)

Never. Personally I'd go for Meru or Extricom myself.

A little bit of homework goes a long way when others are questioning an answer does it not.http://www.addemoticons.com/emoticon...icons04259.gif

Are you a complete fool, I think the above proves it, go back to your tinfoil hat or the noise might reappear, your post proved that I was quite correct.

Quit it - the pair of you. I am sick to death of seeing you two arguing all the time.

Put yourselves on each others ignore list because if I see the pair of you argue again, I shall suspend your accounts. I have had enough! :afire:

ok Mick. this is a proper reply. electrical fraud plus cloning. i happily admitted i was wrong after having to dig deep for a pro electrician. clones were knocked off. you said there were no clones. anyway i did think 'the thieves' were messing with something more serious on the network with what was going on in other peoples homes as well, even those with no VM but ready for VM services. same old cable point ticking over. like i said i happily admitted i was wrong.

Re: Router Antennas
 

The Virgin Media issued ones (and practically every one in the UK) are revision D.

VM were too cheap to go for the standard build, and made D-Link cut cut out every optional component and then some, including the rubber feet, the metal shield on the ethernet ports, the external antenna connectors, and eventually even the internal antenna connectors were removed to save money (hence why D4 has them soldered straight on).

The B revision was a short run Ubicom unit that isn't supported by dd-wrt or openwrt. You'll never see one in real life. Incidentally, it's also a pile of crap.

Re: Router Antennas
 

Qasi will know from his forays into the SH. Aren't the antennae in the SH glued on or something as cheapskate? Didn't they reduce the number of antennae from the standard CG3101D? Isn't it just the sotry of the SH? Cut out good stuff to get the cost down?

Re: Router Antennas
 

The Superhub has two antenna, but removable antenna connectors. That'd be hard to cut down, as they are connected to an add-in PCIe card and those practically never come with soldered on antennae.

I don't know how many antennae the CG3101D has but in order to have reduced the number VM would also had to have downgraded the wireless card itself, because it only has two connectors.

Re: Router Antennas
 

There's your answer then. Customised even down to the PCIe card.

I think the word you really want is illegitimised, or words to that effect.;)

Re: Router Antennas
 

OOps. How could I have let that slip?!!

Re: Router Antennas
 

VM seem to have an obsession with shiny finger print magnets :P I looked online at pictures of the normal DIR-615 and it has a matte black top like my DIR-301 does.

Does anyone know why VM like shiny things so much?? Haha :P

I'm just waiting on the "pig tails" now anyway since I got the antennas this morning.

Re: Router Antennas
 

There's a matte version of the Superhub floating around somewhere...
