That is the other option. Thing is, my current Superhub works fine (except for the reduced number of 5Ghz channels since R30). To swap, and activate my second Superhub, is to risk problems. I won't bother with that, it's not worth it. So I've added a Netgear WNR1000v3 as an access point to cover 2.4Ghz. It works great at 72meg. It's cheap and it'll do 150meg on 2 channels, but that's not fair to the neigbours. To get higher than 72meg on 1 channel you need 2 or more spatial streams, and that won't be likely on battery powered kit you might connect over 2.4Ghz. Any mains kit Is likely to be 56meg max or a computer that can take a 5Ghz dongle, so the WNR1000 is all that's needed for an Uberhub setup. It also matches the Superhub in user interface and physical casing style, so it appears ideal.
