shouldn't be dude, that is what routers are designed for. Having problems with the superhub wouldn't surprise me however I am surprised your friend is having probs with his own router.

The only scenario I can think of where it would seem like everything has frozen and none of the pcs/connections are getting anywhere is if that many pcs are using the internet all at once that your bandwidth is being saturated (i.e somebody is torrenting, somebody is playing a game, somebody is download mp3s) and everytime you each try to do something or load a webpage it is taking ages to send the request through and get a response because no juice is available. If this is the case it isnt really your router that is the problem because your actually only using a fraction of the bandwidth on your LAN and if you want to transfer a file to another pc for example, it would go no probs. The problem is the amount of traffic you are trying to push outside of your network.
