This is a really good point many customers will have built up their own networks, in my case totally Apple
I use a Time Capsule for wireless and network storage use and used an old ntl modem to feed in the broadband
I gave the Superhub a go while the bridge Mode patch was being finalised, but soon had to abandon it, as the 2.4 channel degraded my Apple Network,
And the Wireless performance just did not come up to the standard I have got used to with the Time Capsule
The Time Capsule accepts connections in either 2.4 or 5 Mhz without user involvement so in a mixed environment devices connecting to the network will be allocated the correct channel by the Time Capsule
Using the SuperHub my Macbook and Apple TV suffered a noticeable drop in network speed as they are 5 MHz but were forced to use the 2.4 channel
I couldn't set the 5 MHz as default as all 2.4 devices would not connect, so I now have the Hub set just as a modem and to pass through the broadband to my TC , which takes care of the wireless in my case this is a perfect solution
Hopefully the R28 patch will fix this issue for all others like me that want to use their own equipment for wireless
