getting alot of t3 timeouts aswell

I have now put my SH2 into Modem mode and using Asus RT-n66u router and have had no lag at all despite kids streaming from Youtube & Netflix at the same time.

Think it's time you went a similar router to experience the best way to play online with no lag.

y should i have to pay for a secondary router, when the old worked no problem pretty sure i've got a dodgy one now tryed every thing

When im on CPC19 im getting latency's between 10-14ms Average around 11/12ms ( Modem Mode )When im on CPC9 im getting latency's between 15-23 Average around 18ms ( Router Mode )
I also changed the MAC address on my router to the same as the one on the superhub2 and the same thing happens CPC9 high latency

Change it back to a MAC address on CPC19 and back to low MS again.

I dont understand why the subnet range seems to effect my latency, Im on the same damn UBR.

I should have read your earlier note properly.

You are switching between router mode and modem mode. Hadn't notyiced that.

This is well knwn that when the SH takes the full load, you get a higher average ping - indeed, more importantly, higher jitter in router mode.

When you are in modem mode, you are given a different address range from router mode, hence the different subnet. But that's a red herring in this case. The extra lag is in the SH2.

In my SH2 I have firewall turned off. My TBB latency graph in router mode is unusual

I haven't yet measured the differnce in modem mode but when I was in modem mode on the original SH2 firmware, there was a huge difference in latency & jitter in favour of modem mode.

I'll be returning to modem mode eventually - when the SH2 trials are over.

Well spotted, Seph, I hadn't picked up on that one either.

Has anyone got one of these on self install yet?

Not sure why you're asking but the triallists all did self install.

Somewhere in here it was £50 and you had to get an engineer (for optimum performance) or whathaveya.

Also somewhere in a here are peops who have explained how they either got it free or just aid the postage.

well the postage was supposed to be £6 pound i charged on my account £20

There is an activation fee of £20 when i phoned up that is what i was told. Got mine for free though :D

Did they require a new contract?

i never got told about activation fee just postage that it ringing up tomoz as had problems with mine signal power level are spot so something else is causing me lag got it in modem mode for time being with a rubbish netgear router getting no lag at allso defo the superhub routing side

Are there any benefits of using the Super Hub 2 if using in Modem Mode?

Yeah, you can brag about it and rub it in the faces of those currently stuck with a SH1 in router mode.
