Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I have two network ports and so can have the second one set up with the same MAC as the router provides to the modem and switch ports, so it shouldn't need to reboot. I had to do this when trying to connect to an old Talk Talk wired router via RA with my old VM 20meg modem and VM netgear router for the same reason, but that was because the TT router was carp. No modem reboot was necessary.

How do I work out the correct MAC to spoof on my second lan port with the Superhub? Where do I look up the MAC the router side exposes to the modem side?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

As by the sounds of it the modem mode option forces a reboot anyway is there really a need to do that?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Yes the GUI forces the reboot after you confirm Modem Mode enabled, no way to stop it and I don't see why it's such a biggie??

A VM rep in 0151 land told me the MAC of the internal router is one digit higher than the MAC of the modem part, how true this is I'm unsure but worth a try. I guess if you pick up the same public IP with your own kit then it works!

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Damn. Looks like I'm knackerd then. I was relying on modem mode to solve this problem.

Do you know why I might have the long connection time problem then? My power levels are fine as is SNR and speed. I'm not in a high usage area. The engineer who installed it tried several Superhubs and they all had trouble locking on. Should I call VM and get an engineer out?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

In Windows 7 at least, you can find out what the router MAC address is by looking it up on the Network browser (Right click on device > Properties > Network Device)

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I'll try, but it's sounding like it might force a resync anyway, just out of spite. Thanks for the Win7 tip, at least I'll have the info to try with.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

They actually seem to be doing what everyone has been telling them to do for months and actually listen and respond on the forums. They even have people trying to replicate issues that users are having now. Much better than the previous beta forums where most threads would get ignored.

Shame they didn't start this months ago, maybe R29 wouldn't have taken so long then.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

seems like the netgear device is a piece of crap.

when does the new hauwei superhub arrive?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

It is of little consequence as to when the second device comes out as it is not a replacement and will be supplied alongside the present Superhub, you will receive whatever device the order picker lifts off the shelf because it will work in virtually the same way as the existing model and is also called Superhub.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

It will look identical but I believe there is a slight change on the inside I can't disclose

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

It will look identical but use a different chipset in order to ensure a constant supply of the device.

I have had a Superhub since February with no issues whatsoever as per most of the ones out on the network which is in the hundreds of thousands at this time.

Until a couple of days ago my Superhub had been online for more than 80 days but now I am on the R29 trial again without issue, so do not believe everything you read on a forum.

My ping is a little high but probably because I am downloading at the same time, below is my speed on 30Mb.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Rest assured .... I don't.....

Least of all when someone says

Just what chipset do you think the Hauwei device will use .... ?

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

That will become apparent when it is released :)

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

From the choice of 1 EuroDocsis (Broadcom) approved chipsets available and in current production??

That is given that Intel bought the rights to the TI PUMA chipset and suspended its production??

I assume you guys knew this before you replied??

Certainly Chello, ConHem, Ziggo knew it ....[COLOR="Silver"]

I had no intention of answering it with any information other than what i gave ;)

OK I apologise profusely. I * won't. I will let the * profanity filter do its * job.

Just to be * clear I am typing the * characters in the * this reply. I did not trouble the * profanity filter.

That is * correct isn't it Rob? :confused:

OK so you are not able to reply to the question.

I assume that is because you don't have the basic facts in front of you. :)

:LOL: Another wise guy

No i just did not want to answer you with anything else other than what i said. You don't know me, you don't know what i do so quit assuming ;)

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

errr ... ditto :erm:

:angel:

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I'm made up for you , but from my perspective its a pile of junk which isn't fit for purpose. I'm on 30mb and the Damn thing constantly resets itself , wireless is the most painful experience I've ever had with any router period.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

It does work fine for me though and maybe modem mode will sort it for you.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I'm afraid its too late for me , its off to another ISP :(

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

R29 is imminent as well.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I had superhub reboots on the 4 I tried

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I have the following in my Superhub and it works fine when in wireless mode as Services is part of Wireless mode.

Click http://192.168.0.1/ the username is admin and the password is changeme, then click on the small red writing that says advanced settings then look down the left hand side and then click on Services then ensure that only IPSEC passthrough and PPTP passthrough are ticked click apply and close the page.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

I can't even check my uptime as lately my superhub reboots when I try to access it's interface.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Or not.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

They have the updated firmware to sort out the issue.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Just got my superhub and 100mb setup for review on our site - find the superhub not having bridge mode still pretty poor considering its been mentioned since April, also not impressed with the speeds I get when just using the superhub wirelessly.

If I use the superhub I get around 40mb, If i setup my Apple Time Capsule to be the main wireless setup and feed it via ethernet, I'm getting around 60mb - big increase over the virgin superhub, direct ethernet is around 92mb which is pretty good.

Disappointed in general though, compared to my old cable modems first class performance.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

Exactly dude, the whole exercise has been one giant step backwards for the company instead of a step forwards. It is ridiculous to think that they have spent the better part of year trying to make something work which should have been done before it was forced onto the end user.

Re: Superhub Firmware Beta Test
 

A VM tech visited today and got my 30M service upload speed from 0.2 to about 1.0 with an attenuator.

He says the firmware change "could" allow my machine to get the full 3M upload I pay for.

We shall see.
