Now that R30 is out...is it safe to give up my Ambit 256/Dlink Router just yet?
Getting a mixed vibe about R30 over on Virgin forums?
I was on 30MB but with the Superhub my BB speed and LAN performance was quite poor, wrote to CEO's office and temporarily stepped down to 20MB with Ambit/Dlink kit. I've asked the question of CEO's office to confirm the firmware is "production ready", (no answer yet) but wanted an opinion of actual end users too. Cheers |

R30 will somewhat cure stability but will mean nothing if you've issues elsewhere. what was happening in full to your superhub running r26?

So far as I am concerned the only worthwhile thing in R30 is modem mode. As a router the superhub is still junk.

Over the last week or so I've had much less wifi visits, I'd say your safe, if not you can plug the dlink into the hub

Before I had poor Lan speed.
Couldn't stream 1080p video to DNLA tv via ethernet for instance. Wireless was strictly a no go. ---------- Post added at 17:27 ---------- Previous post was at 17:25 ---------- Can always use Modem mode I reckon if theres any issues and I'd get back up to my 30mb speed. Just awaiting a reply from CEO's office..... |

If it wasn't production ready they wouldn't have released it (although some will have their own views)

gazjam your SH will be fine. R30 has been released which you should get once your SH is live unless your levels cause a problem obtaining it.. thats what I've read anyway. you should be fine IMO

That was my thoughts too, but theres still a lot of issues according to users over on Virginmedia forums.
Its the usual though I guess, you only hear about the bad stories.... :) ---------- Post added at 17:37 ---------- Previous post was at 17:36 ---------- Thanks for the info guys, I'll contact the CEO's office and go back to SH (and look into a credit as discussed....) |

Hundreds of Superhub complaints and VM admitting the faults kind of suggests it was originally put out not ready? Think its time to go back to the superhub. (not sure I want to stop using my DD-WRT Dlink though... :)) |

@KenK
I didn't say it was perfect did I ? I did say 'others will have their own view' which you clearly do. I have had no issues with my hub personally, but then again others have. He can use modem mode if the facilities of the hub do not suit, seems that their are no issues with modem mode from what i have read which is a feature alot of folks seemed to be asking for. |

I'm paying for 30MB :dunce: Sure it was a typo :) Can I ask, how are YOU finding your Superhub? Genuine question..the cynical guys tend to give the best answers.... :) |

he hasn't got a SH. I have, its running fine. if your levels are fine and there isn't a networking fault in your area then with R30 your SH should be stable.

My own experience of using it early on (I got 30mbit the same week of launch) disagrees with you. |
