SuperHub question
 

Hi folks,

Just a quick question, can you lay the superhub on its side instead of it being upright? Is there a cradle for it to fit in?

It's designed to stand upright so that the wireless antennae are in the correct orientation, not that it makes a lot of difference :D

Re: SuperHub question
 

Its designed to stand up for aesthetic purposes, the antennae actually point backwards, i.e. lying it on its front would be better for wireless transmission

Re: SuperHub question
 

ok, thanks. I was looking at the SH this morning, and I noticed it had 4 slots on the ethernet connection side of SH. Just wonder what the slots are for.

Thanks Craig, I didn't know that. However does it really matter? :D

in terms of the dud, no

Re: SuperHub question
 

lol, I know there are 4 gigaports on the back, look above, where you have the sticker, look to the left and right sides of the sticker and you will see 4 slots, 2 either side.

Re: SuperHub question
 

oh those.... :p:

looks like they are for wall mount brackets, but there are no brackets

Re: SuperHub question
 

lol, thats crazy. Reminds me sky boxes that have USB connectors on, but are not enabled. crazy world. Anyway, thankyou @D

Re: SuperHub question
 

Our superhub at work was supplied with wall mount brackets that use those slots. Looks a bit silly suspended on a wall when the stand remains on the bottom that you can't remove unless you start dismantling the case.

Re: SuperHub question
 

the 2 screws either side of the ethernet ports unscrews only the stand, no "taking apart" involved

im guessing the mounts are only supplied with the business package then?

Re: SuperHub question
 

The wireless is most useable if you hang the wretched thing from a lampshade in the middle of the room.

If you can't do that, somehow fixing it upside down would slightly improve wireless.

Off to find the double sided tape...back soon :D

Re: SuperHub question
 

Haha.

The Superhub actually has some of the most even, and unidirectional wireless coverage I've seen, and is near enough a perfect sphere (except where the mainboard is blocking it, duh).

Course by design this means only one antenna is covering most directions and lots of wireless devices' firmware/drivers don't like that...

Re: SuperHub question
 

*omnidirectional? ;)

Re: SuperHub question
 

D'oh. You're right.

Re: SuperHub question
 

But it's still crap.

Re: SuperHub question
 

My coverage isnt bad and its stood behind a tv on the second floor.

Re: SuperHub question
 

That's very good

Re: SuperHub question
 

No it isn't! Dash said his coverage wasn't bad. LOL.
