I personally have no superhub related issues except for the wireless dropping about once a day requiring a reboot, but reading these (and other) forums, gives strong indication that there IS a significant minority subset of users with superhub problems.

Significant minority meaning lots and lots of users, but still only a small percentage of the total users.

Its like buying a nice new, shiny car with lots of "bling", then finding out its engine doesn't work, but the garage refusing to do anything about it, because you can buy a second clapped out but working car to tow it.

Under the sale of goods act, 1979, goods must be
1) As described,
2) Of satisfactory quality
3) Fit for the purpose for which they were sold

While the superhubs are not technically sold, if theres a significant number of people with failures, even though its a small percentage of the total userbase, resulting in them having to find work rounds such as buying a 2nd router to get basic and reliable functionality, I personally would be arguing that they fail under part 3. Fit for the purpose.

Just a thought to throw out there...

Perhaps Netgear made two or more batches of superduds. Same exterior design, differing internals, but functional to the same specification. Therefore, firmware designed for one, is slightly broken on the other?

However VM are not required to provide a router, or a device suitable to support more than one connection.

The Superhub, wired appears to work for everyone ..
