Yeah, dd-wrt is a bit flaky still with Ralink SoC's (well nowhere near as flaky as openwrt, but it's still a relatively new platform support wise). It's not the fastest thing in the world, though my one-dimensional tests did see it hit pretty decent speeds but only with a lot of tweaking.

I must admit I'm tempted to stockpile them as well, make my whole network backbone out of them. Small, efficient and easy to see LEDs. Most of the devices on my network don't do/need Gigabit speeds so as long as wireless N achieves 100Mbps to keep up with the "Fast" ethernet ports there's no real problem; being able to handle 50Mbps cable is going to be the thing. That Ralink SoC should be up to the task... still need a seperate 50Mbps capable modem though.

In my limited testing I've hit line speed (95mbps) routing performance with dd-wrt with all additional features off, but once QoS is turned on it'll drop to about ~45mbps and hit 100% CPU. Openwrt tends to do a lot better in routing performance (and overall CPU performance) and has better QoS anyway so once the wireless on it gets stable, that might be the better way to go.

In my experience the Super Hub fails at every single thing, ethernet or wireless. I've used dozens of different types of router and it is by far the worst. Why VM are "upgrading" customers to this turkey is completely beyond me.

To be fair, you do seem to have had a pretty bad experience with the Superhub but it seems to be unusually bad rather than the norm. I've not had one myself, nor do I intend to get one for my cable service, so I don't really have an opinion either way. Just to be sure, have you turned off all the security features (firewall, flood detection, etc.)? These helped a lot with other people but not sure if it'll be of use to you.
