Re: SHUB3
I know it is coming up to xmas and pennies are tight but think of a router as TV and something you want to work properly but also something you want to use, enjoy and benefit from everyday for the next 2-3 years. If/when you are ready to buy your router don't be cheap; if it is worth doing then it is worth doing properly and I cannot recommend Asus enough. Take the time to have a look at all the different models on Amazon and decide which is best for you. Some routers are now triband and AC5300 which sounds great but unless your devices (and more importantly their network adapters) also support the technology then you aren't going to benefit from it. The high end routers also have multiple usb ports and eSATA so you can connect printers and hard drives and you can run network printing and shared storage but once again, if you don't need it then you don't buy it. The router I suggested above is a great mid-range router and is good for 836mbits wan to lan throughput (download speed) so you know it is going to last you a while.
I was going to suggest staying away from places like Currys because they normally charge a load more for the same thing but I have just had a quick look and oddly enough it is the same price so if it makes you happier you could get it from there. |

Re: SHUB3
cje85, have you checked a PM you should have received on the Virgin Media community forum?

Re: SHUB3
Yes, I received it at exactly 12:00, but had no idea that they didn't want it discussed in public before that. I'm not a VM trialist and have never applied to be one. Various others have posted about it on the VM forum so it seems the messages were sent too late. From now on I won't be commenting further on the update.

Re: SHUB3
So they are releasing new firmware versions to people who didnt ask, and then wanting them to keep it secret ?
Seems a bit cheeky to me. |

Re: SHUB3
The message sent to me began with "Following your participation on the Hub 3.0 latency thread ...." so some non trialists who have taken part in that thread have been chosen too.
It's still being openly discussed by some other users on the VM forum (Gaming section), and VM have merged my original thread about the update in to the existing latency thread rather than deleting it, but i'll respect their wish and not make any specific comments regarding the firmware itself. |

Intel continue to be unable to fix the underlying problem so just hid it for a small subset of traffic. They can't do it for everything because it would kill throughput. |

doesn't surprise me at all

For what you'd pay for a decent set of homeplugs, you can get a decent router. Any of the Asus routers would be a good shout. |
Re: SHUB3
I recently upgraded to V6 Tivo (like a lot of people) and also had a new Superhub 3 installed at the same time! Now I am having problems with my homeplugs keep loosing connection.
For the record my superb is in the bedroom and all my multimedia devices including the V6 are down stairs, the home plugs are TP-Link TL-PA211KIT AV200 Nano 200Mbps Powerline Adapter - Twin Pack and I have a desktop switch downstairs to TP-LINK TL-SF1005D 5-Port 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Desktop Switch - White Sounds stupid but just by switching off either the switch or home plug for a few seconds reconnects the home plugs with the superhub again! Any help would be extremely grateful as I am using wireless at the moment that seems to be a more secure connection, Thanks Mark |
