Super Hub R36 Firmware Rollout
[ New ]

Release Notes

Connection Information - If you're wondering where this has got to it's now available from the Router Status link in the top right hand corner of the login page while logged out.

Up to 144Mbps mode is now the default wireless setting - We've changed this as it has the potential to increase wireless range and throughput over a longer distance compared to 300Mbps mode. Our experience suggests that Up to 300 Mbps mode works best in uncongested wireless conditions or when the Super Hub is running on the 5Ghz frequency which is less well used. At very close range you're unlikely to see any difference between either setting, but as range increases you may see more signal drop outs under Up to 300 Mbps mode. We recommend you experiment with your settings to find the best balence between speed and range in your home.

OBSS - You may find if this wireless option is ticked while using 300Mbps mode you will see reduced wireless speed. This is because this mode is designed to make sure your router doesn't interfere with other wireless routers operating near you and so it automatically switches down to 144Mbps mode if it detects other networks or interference.

Greenfield Mode - This is a feature in 802.11n mode that can improve wireless efficiency by eliminating support for 802.11a/b/g devices. Only use this mode if you are only intending to use 802.11n capable wireless devices.

Known Issues

This is a list of issues we've identified in the R36 firmware and we're working towards fixing them in the next firmware update.

Google Chrome causes delayed response from admin page and/or loss of access to admin page - When using Google Chrome to access the Super Hub's admin page, there is an issue where the loading of the login page can be delayed by 5-15 seconds. Also if certain LAN chipsets are in use (e.g. NForce Gigabit LAN) then the admin page can completely fail to load and become unavailable to all clients until the Super Hub is power cycled. If you're seeing this issue you should use an alternate browser to access the admin page as a workaround.

All Security Modes available at 144 & 300 Mbps in Advanced UI - When Wireless Mode is set to 144Mbps or 300Mbps, the security modes WPA-PSK[TKIP] and WEP should not be available for selection and should be greyed out. However in the Advanced UI this is not the case and the security modes are available for selection and the selections can be applied. As a workaround these modes should not be selected while in 144Mbps or 300Mbps mode.

Router Status Network Log displays incorrect month - When comparing the Network Logs in the Advanced Settings, Logs, Network Log screen and the Router Status Network Log, the Router Status Network Log is incorrect in that the date month is displayed 1 month earlier than the actual month.

Pre and Post RS Error Counter showing incorrect information - This counter is currently showing incorrect information.

Device Connection Status, Session Download and Upload information displaying incorrectly - These counters are currently showing incorrect amounts for downloads and uploads. This information not used in any traffic management calculations they are there for your advice only.

DHCP Reservation page shows ethernet devices that have been disconnected - Wired devices do not delete themselves immediately from this list when disconnected but linger for some time, wireless devices do however.
