It sounds like that you are doing double-NAT. You won't be able to use the SH as a simple modem until they enable bridge mode on it...

In the mean time, you may want to stick with the superhub for routeing. You can disable the routeing features of the airport by putting it into bridge mode (the airport, not the SH).

If you could give me a step by step configuration method, it would be very helpful indeed.
I'm afraid I don't have a SH, so I can't do that - I have a modem, firewall and airport in bridge mode.

Sorry forgot to mention, I have tried changing the bandwidths to both 2.4 and 5 and still get the same speed problem. I also tried switching the wireless on my SH off but still continued to get the same problem.
Personally, I'd leave everything on the airport as automatic, it generally does a good job. Are you using a mac or PC? Do you know if you're connecting with 2.4GHz or 5GHz to the airport?
