R27 is due this month, R26 was released the end of last month and rushed through after literally a couple of days of beta testing to fix major issues in R25. R25 went live on the 7th April, R26 2 weeks later.
There may be a hardware element to it as well, I don't know beyond that the Superhub I have is revision 2, and to get it to start to behave I had to offload all wireless functionality and LAN traffic onto another device.

The point I have been making is similiar.
If the superhub is used for very basic demand such as a NAT device with no port forwarding and no standalone LAN traffic it is 'adequate' for the job and will seem to be working fine. Since many people will only use it in this manner the impression may be got that the superhub on the whole is an ok device and its just a minority having issues with it when the better explanation is that its only a minority of people using it for anything remotely stressful. Your experience if anything supports my point as when you offloaded your LAN tasks to another device and disabled the wireless it stabilised and became useable. So I dont think there is "bad batches" and so on, I simply think some people dont use the superhub for anything stressful and as such dont see problems. There is the occasional person who has no problems after getting a replacement but that seems to be rare, those who have issues mostly continue to have issues when they get it swapped out.
My own superhub became stable after I set it up with DMZ to the dir615 and it was dealing with zilch lan traffic and no seperate port forwarding rules, in addition with the wireless disabled. Still bugs but was stable at that point of course I had almost made it into a dumb modem to achieve that.
I am not convinced its a software problem only, especially the wireless issues, ultimately tho whether its hardware or software the cause doesnt matter if it doesnt work, all that matters is if it works properly or not.
