RE: I want to upgrade with a bought VMNG300...
 

Just a quickie RE: VMNG300...

I'm currently a 20Mb customer with the Ambit256 modem. I want to upgrade to 50Mb but don't want a Superhub.

I have a D-Link DIR-655 Router which i believe after having read many threads now on this forum is far superior to the NetGear Superhub and i get 4 gigabit ports plus superb wireless coverage all over the house and down to the far end of my garden a fair way away.

In the past every time i've bought NetGear i've been seriously disappointed hence why i've now been using D-Link for a number of years. It just works, and works very well.

I have the chance to purchase a VMNG300 in good condition. I want to know if Virgin will hook me up to 50Mb with a bought VMNG300. I don't wnat the Superhub and will stick to 20Mb for the foreseable or until the Subperhub equipment gets better and the router part is as good as my D-Link.

Any thoughts on this or has anyone done this successfully??

Cheers, Francis.

No.

You will not be able to get it activated.

Untill R29 sees the light of day here is a guide to using another router with the superhub.

That's a shame. Anyhow, a thousand thanks for your help.

Re: I want to upgrade with a bought VMNG300...
 

Sorry, a couple more questions about the superhub.

Can the WiFi radio can be switched right off?
Is there a DMZ on the Superhub, or can security be turned right off in order to just run it as a modem effectively?
