I wouldn't be surprised. The chipset in the "original" Superhub is ancient and deprecated (and has been for years).

So it looks like the Huawei will support concurrent 2.4 and 5GHz modes ?

No. Certificate says it's dual-band selectable, which is the same as the old Superhub.

No it's not. The best devices won't go above 24mbps even under ideal conditions. Most average G gear tops out at 16-20mbps next to the router.

There's no more requirement for 'N' at 50mbps than 30mbps. You won't get full speed without 'N' on either.

You were still wrong on the identical features and identical performance part though.
