I work with a guy who uses a superhub and he seems to think the wireless range is as if the signal projects in a cone from each end rather than all around.

I'm not willing to hook mine back up and try (its all in the attic and wouldn't help me anyway as the hub would have to be in a precarious position to be 'aimed' at the devices that need it and some would be out of the cone anyway). But if anyone is having poor wireless reception it may be worth trying it in a few different positions.

Personally I'd advise you hold off and watch the forum. If the impending modem mode works then go for it, the modem side of the hub should be pretty decent when all the extra stuff virgin have it doing (poorly) is disabled. A stand-alone router will always be better.
