Yea, but I still have my Netgear WGR614v9 here which I upgraded to the Netgear firmware, so I can run it as a 2.4ghz wireless access point to the Superhub giving me the best of both worlds. Not that I have an I-Phone, but I do have a wireless printer/scanner that will need 2.4ghz.

Perhaps IE9 is the problem rather than the router, but it seems very stable for everything else. Still, we'll see in a couple of months time.

The biggest flaw is the firewall thing. No Denial of Service protection is possible atm until it is fixed. I hope VM are going to keep up with the firmware updates with this router as we cannot do it ourselves which is the biggest risk with the Superhub. Since VM impressed me with the speed of the upstream upgrade though, I'm betting on VM to up their game with the firmware updates this time (unlike with the WGR614v9 which never got a VM update though it badly needed it, leaving me to hotwire a standard firmware into it). Go VM! You can do it!
