Hi,

loads of people, write off the superhub, but now R30 is out.. is it a misconception and quick judgement that we should all write off the superhub as a useless piece of junk.. in favour of the VMNG300.

Previously prior to R30, I have to agree with using the VMNG300... superhub rebooted all the time, its wireless was next to unusable with constant dropouts. However R30 does seem to of resolved most of these complaints and I have to say ive not had to reboot for a long time now.

Wireless range isnt much to be desired for though lol, as is build quality.. I had a cable connection rip straight out the back.. and when I opened the unit to repair it found there to be next to 0 solder holding it in to begin with.

But I wouldnt say the superhub is still that piece of junk many people make it out to be.. and in the right conditions it can achieve the top speed happily as shown below,

and from what I can see, anybody with is having unsatisfactory quality in regards to wireless or the inbuilt switch or routing capabilities can put the device into modem mode which makes it just like the VMNG300 anyway.. with the added bonus of supporting more channels which VM are currently rolling out.. 5 in some areas already. When the VMNG300 only supports 4 channels.

yes ok.. the service will work on 4 channels but if it is load balanced over more channels you are more likely to hit the top speed and have a more consistent speed.

So ive opened this thread as a debate and poll of oppinion.
