Hmmm.....When I tried to use the superhub, a while back now, I noticed a few sites refusing to load but as the damned thing was rebooting itself on a seemingly hourly basis or needing to be manually rebooted to get the wireless going again that side of it took a back seat.

I since got an asus rt n16 router and put the superhub in modem mode. I had heard the stock asus firmware was bad but before installing tomatousb I thought to try it out. Well it was quite stable, no rebooting, strong wireless, no dropped connections but..........loads of sites wouldn't load just like the superhub but much worse.

I since have installed tomatousb firmware and find all sites load up like lightning compared to the superhub and the asus stock firmware.

So I conclude that along with the myriad of other issues the superhub seems to have a problem resolving some DNS. I found that sometimes constantly refreshing might get a site to load but all links on the page would be dead. I found entering a IP would get you to the site but again all the links would be dead.

My advice is to get a decent router, preferably one that will take a firmware from DD-WRT or Tomato and install it using the superhub in modem mode.
