Cable Forum - View Single Post - Superhub R36 Firmware Beta Test (was R35)

I'm comparing the Superhub to what I had before not R30 and R36. The probable clincher is the external aerials on the DIR655 compared to the two tiny PCB patches you get in a Superhub.

The distance from here to my SH is less than 15m and is just a couple of partition walls plus floor/ceiling. There is a certain amount of in band interference from a FON router feeding an external antenna from this room but on a different channel so it would only be de-sensitising the receiver. The phone is an HTC Desire.

A follow on to my earlier moaning about IP reservations...

Unless I got lucky as I was only deleting and adding one to take advantage in the ability to add a name if one wasn't picked up I see that in R36 it doesn't reboot when adding a reservation (or at least not doing what I did with the device already on the IP) and you can add several before hitting Apply - something I discovered by just doing an "update" because the addition was lost (without any warning). Still klunky as you have to manually type the MAC and you can lose your work without warning but at least you don't get the reboots.
