I got a D-Link DIR-615 today, one of the D2 units. Took DD-WRT straight off. Now running a very recent December build.
It's not quite set up properly yet but it's usable. Wireless N only gives me 130Mbps although DD-WRT reports it is 300Mbps. But as potential further proof that the Super Hub I was sent is completely worthless,
performance is exactly the same if not better for LAN, WAN or both simultaneously. And will no doubt improve when things are set correctly, but even if not at least the dropouts will be gone for good.

To make good on my promise - thanks! Although I'd rather have gotten one free from VM I'm really tired of wrangling with them so it really was worth a tenner.
Right! I have some network pruning to do. There are currently five routers on my LAN and I'm hoping to dump two of them. Without the Super Hub I have no gigabit switches, but since the three remaining ones will all be DD-WRT boxes I can live with that just to get the POS off. And presumably back to VM at some point.
