Re: New superhub 2 and no wifi
 
Got to say that I have been experiencing this as well, but it has not been that bad yet.

I have my SH2 for 2 weeks after replacing my SH1 and about 3 times during this time I had to cycle my router.

On r29... I give it a few days, if it gets worse I think I need a replacement...

hard reset it. theres a pinhole reset button on the back of the SH2, hold it down for 30 odd seconds.

I hate to say it but the hard reset has been done countless times.

I had something similar. In the WiFi settings on your router, make sure you have a clear channel selected (2.4) or set to auto compatibility (5). Then make sure that greenfield mode is not selected for either 2.4 or 5. This may not be your issue, but I mention because it can cause this intermittent problem and might help. Gotta be worth a go?

I went through all this on the phone with customer services. I have booked an engineers visit while I am at home so he can hopefully rectify the issue.

Not sure of the exact model without looking. It is a Broadcom device and has the latest drivers.

I will see what happens after the tech visits tomorrow. Nobody can seem to answer why with the original SH it worked just fine and the SH2 is not up to the job.

Well I can't believe what's happened. My laptop has now stopped working all together. Blue screen on start up as if the hard drive or some other component has failed so that will get binned.

VM have replaced the SH2 for another one but as the laptop has died I have no idea if has helped.
