Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

I have had a Superhub for a while and its had no real issues but just recently it's started to lose the internet connection.

I have my PS3 wired to the hub and an iMac connected wirelessly.

No idea if this is the correct information but I will post it anyway:-

do your lights flash blue?

iv heard stories with the new firmware giving the 'blue light of death'

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Mine are flashing blue now and always have done, even prior to the duff firmware updates, I thought this was normal.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

From top to bottom- Blue green blue

Blue lights flash when internet is whirring away

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

There was an upgrade a few days ago and a lot of people who had no problems before the upgrade have now got drop outs. My drop out was so severe I blew the hub switching it off and on every ten minutes. Got a new one coming and VM agent told me that the upgrade had corrupted my hub and that it was just a minority that would have this problem.

Maybe you're a minority too :)

My top blue light was steady and flashed when data was transmitting until the upgrade then it flashed continually. middle light was green and wireless was continuous blue. When it blew all turned continuous blue.

Regards.

It's been fine for weeks, well i haven't noticed anything anyway. It happened three times in 2 hours today.

Checked my air port on the mac and within about 30 seconds it had re connected.

'puter is actually in the same room as the Hub, just not quite near enough or tidy enough to run a cable to it.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

You could try the reset pin. I found the worst about this problem was the network denial when it re-connected. nightmare :(

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

so, they've stuffed the R26 update as well... oh my.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

I'm not so sure if it was the R26 or the fact that at the same time as the R26 upgrade they upgraded my 1mb upload to 3mb. 2 upgrades at same time could have caused my problem.


Regards.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Tried the reset, hasn't dropped yet. The thing is, you don't necessarily notice the drop in Internet when you're doing day to day Internet browsing as it could drop out whilst reading a website and it's come back on before you've even noticed it's gone.

I do however notice that it drops when I use my PS3 as a media server and I'm streaming films over to it.

What was the exact date of the update?

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Think mine was early Friday morning of the 22nd.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Does it automatically update?

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Yes.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

is when all 3 steady blue its hosed?

whats the middle one been blue mean?

mine was blue green off, bottom one is obviously wireless as that is off with my wireless disabled.

Re: Internet Dropping on 30 meg
 

Are you asking me a question? Or is this someone from the VM call Centre?
