IE9 is in beta, but it is close to completion so this bug may continue. I recomend you stick a copy of the portable version of the browser QtWeb in a folder somewhere as this can emulate other browsers such as Firefox in a compact form for just changing your router settings if you don't want to install a second full browser for the purpose.

The SPI firewall reacts to a UDP flood from the lan side, and on my system (Win7HPx64) with Homegroup including libraries and media shared it locks down immediately reducing everything to a crawl. Turning it off is easy with QtWeb (though slow until you've hit apply) but it shouldn't be that sensitive. The old WGR614v9 with Netgear's latest firmware works fine, and that has SPI, but I don't think it reacts to lan-side traffic. Either the Superhub's SPI needs to be way less sensitive or it needs to be wan-side only.

Those couple of work-arounds aside, it's all very good indeed. Or it would be if I'd been given the 5ghz dongle instead of the old D-Link 2.4ghz one. I'm told a replacement will be with me in a few days though.

Hi Andy, can you explain what this bug is on the SPI firewall? I am seeing logs all the time of "LAN-side UDP Flood" and then always "Illegal TCP Header". I'm not sure it causes me issues as network performance remains ok I think...how can I check if this is causing me problems?

The only other "bug" I have found so far is that this is the first router I have ever had that has not auto detected that my PS3 has a gigabit ethernet port and thinks it runs at 100mbps (light on port on the super hub stays only orange). If I set the PS3 manually from auto to Gigabit Full Duplex, the port on the super hub goes green and all is fine. Although, I can't see anywhere in the admin screens to check detailed stats on devices connected to each port yet to see speeds and throughput?
