Superhub has worked well for me up until Sunday. On Sunday the wireless connection suddenly became very unstable, dropping connection and offering extremely erratic speeds when it was connected. Wired connections were still 100% ok.

Seeing the classic signs of interference, and with people recently moved into the flat next door I assumed that they'd turned on a router to the same channel as mine and changed from 7 to 13. This fixed the problem until Monday. On Monday the connection speed remained normal but started to flat out stop working every 5 minutes or so, until the client (iPhone/laptop internal/PC external dongle) was disconnected then reconnected, but the problem would return a few minutes later.

This prompted me to change channel again (to 12), even though I could see through my PC's software that there weren't many competing networks and certainly none on CH13. This returned stability for the next hour or so until I went to bed.

Then this morning while browsing the net on my phone it returned, requiring me to turn off wifi and then back on in order to regain the connection. Faulty hardware, or what?
