Why? It's better to just buy a cheap N150 router as I describe to use as an access point. Two transmitters are better than one for throughput. Plus I get the guard interval bonus as well. So, free Superhub (well, inclusive, no extra fee above normal line rental...) for upping to 50meg and all I had to pay for to make it better than a dual band hub is a cheap N150. Ker-ching!
So long as you don't want custom firmware and exotic stuff, the Shub seems to do well. Wireless is great for some and poor for others but the circumstances are so variable that all we can say on that score is use what works in your spot. It's a lottery whatever bit of kit you choose for any given RF environment it seems. I do wish, though, that there were more channels available in 5GHz mode on the Shub as there used to be but unfortunately VM culled those last firmware update with no explanation as to why. Perhaps VM are giving them a respray and they'll be re-added in the next firmware update?
