Well it will be the first i have heard of it, I could well be wrong but i have not heard anything from my normal internal contacts.

Is that for the VMNG300 or the Superhub ?

What assertions?

He's got you confused with that masque/peter____ character. He's the one always blathering on about how the VMNG300 is unloved and will be ditched faster than a fast thing being ditched quickly.

re: R36 Firmware Beta Test (was R35)
 
The VMNG can't be updated to support 8 downstreams as the tuner only supports 4 channels..

I don't get the issue with upstream bonding though as its meant to handle 4...

But that's getting off topic..

Is the VMNG300 based on Broadcom or TI Puma 5? Would be nice to know why they are quite different jitter/latency wise and weather Netgear can iron out the kinks..

sorry I did it again. It was Masque who was always saying that it was obselete and VM want it off the network asap. That is why I was surprised and delighted when Igni said they were working on fw for it.

Igni said it needs a firmware update for the upstream bonding to work. It can't support 8 ds channels but would need an update for it (which I would love) but I don't think they'll be doing one any time soon.

I'd posit the networking problems are because the network stack on the Superhub is 11 years out of date.

Old Kernel version you mean? If so then it's pretty common for Broadcom equipment XD

No, network stack.

eCos really isn't common for broadcom equipment.

Anyway, back to the R35 Firmware Beta Test.....

VM have pulled the plug on the test of this firmware:

Quote:
We've now closed our call for trialists and we'll be contacting them via email over the next week to confirm if they've got a place in the trial.

Unfortunately we've discovered some issues with the R35 late in our testing which mean we need to put the trial on hold until they are fixed. We're sorry about this delay but we're determined to make sure that the firmware we release is as solid as it can be. As soon as we're able to give you a firm date on the trial we'll post it here.

This did not surprise me at all to be honest! :/

that is great, I really am laughing my ass off :rofl:

I guess pulling the plug is better than releasing stuff known to be dodgy which would be pointless. Strange that they made a call for triallists before they'd finished their internal testing though as pulling it like this just invites criticism.

Hilarious

What great publicity this is for Netgear.

:LOL:
