I think one of the major issues with the hub that people can't deny is the woeful wireless. If you have all N devices or have the hub near the kit then you should be fine, but for those of us who are used to having their dedicated router be able to reach everywhere (and then some) then you will be in for a shock at how poor the range is.

I was lucky to have wifi in the kitchen (with the hub in the loft). But my old, and now my new routers are both capable of giving great speeds throughout the house, garden and most of the way down the street. This area dosent have a lot of nearby networks according to inSSIDer (1 other half decent one and 4 that barely register half of the time).

Even installers have complained about the wireless.
