There's no possible way for the Superhub to support 600mbps via a firmware update - the wireless card in it only has 2 outputs. VM could potentially release a new version of the SH with faster wireless but I doubt they will.
4 channels is actually fairly realistic on 5Ghz - there's only really a few channels on 5Ghz you can use without DFS and considering how bad VM got everything else wireless on the SH wrong I wouldn't be surprised if they had to switch off the extra channels for legal reasons.
Or maybe they're trying to cut down on the number of standards they're violating in order to maybe one day achieve wifi certification for the thing... Like that'll ever happen 
In any case 2.4Ghz only has 3 truly non-overlapping channels (4 at a stretch).
Oh, and lets not forget, almost everything Mark Wilkin said about 5Ghz in the Superhub FAQ is wrong. |
Isn't DFS only required by Germany in the EU?
Time to dump 5Ghz as a knackered option it seems. We appear to be operating on US/German restrictions here. I only wish my Broadcom card in my netbook could use 2.4Ghz channel 12 & 13 but that driver's also been crippled just in case someone tries to use it in the US. Time UK started to make our own kit.
