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!
The Super Hub has already had two firmware updates pre-launch with another scheduled for the new year, so definitely they are "on the ball" in terms of support for this CPE - little wonder seeing as it will become the primary CPE on all tiers of service over the coming months.
