Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?
 

When is there going to be a Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?

BT are launching the Homehub 5 with 802.11ac later this year:

Virgin need to keep up!

My superhub 2 will always be up to date as i use it in modem mode and buy a 3rd party router. I only moved from superhub 1 in modem mode because i was trialling the 2

Do all your devices work on the 5ghz frequency as older kits throughput is still the same apparently?

OMG.....theirs nothing wrong at all with the next gen super hub. Only because bt are launching something with wifi 802.11ac does not mean its all singing and dancing.

You only had to read the issues of their bt vision need i say more.

given the shub2 is only just out the door I think it will be a year minimum.

I wouldnt worry too much about AC at the moment tho as barely any devices have it.

I'm dead certain that VM, with their history of willy waving, will bring in a SH3 in due course. It might be Puma6 based - particularly because it can handle 24 downstream channels which would be needed for higher speeds, althugh there would be a significant infrastructure development cost around that.

And, what's more, I'm also certain that VM have that sort of roadmap already in train.

I agree, I think the AC device is a ways off yet but I think (I Hope?) Virgin is sensible enough to combine it with a DOCSIS 3.1 modem.

Re: Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?
 

You mean "some" and "802.11ac". 5Ghz is irrelevant and all is irrelevant.

At which point it becomes well obvious, duh. Of course your devices will need 802.11ac to benefit from 802.11ac.

Re: Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?
 

Do you have one single device that currently could use 802.11ac ? i didn't think so, pointless thread move on.

Re: Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?
 

Bit presumptuous of you, isn't it? There are a few ac capable devices out there, such as many of this year's Smartphones and you can buy wireless AC cards if you look around.

However, your logic is asinine - why would he have any ac capable stuff without an ac capable router? Conversely, why would he buy an ac capable router without some ac capable stuff? Something has to come first!

Pointless comment is pointless.

chicken or egg ?

Re: Superhub 3 with 802.11ac?
 

Now that is a daft question. Everyone knows the evolution path of a chicken - so it must have been an egg.

So that's got nothing to do with whether the OP intends to have any 802.11ac devices to use with his shiny new SH3.

Plus there is no analogous relationship with chicken/egg and ac device/router.

Please forgive this bit of fun!

Excellent!
