Once upon a time you got something from Telewest, it worked 100%, no messing about and usually beyond expectation, as my old modem was going on the fritz and I was due a contract change I thought I would renegotiate for a TiVo as well as get my networking brought into this generation. As a result I got lumbered with a gnats hair of cable, leaving my superhub able to only go in a single position and the removal of my old Dlink router which would have come in quite handy.
What gets me is that I am on my second superhub and it has only been 10 days, surely by rolling out bad hardware, bad firmware and an inability to fix it quickly VM have created not only a huge negative view on their service as a whole, but surely a ton of extra work for CSR's and Tech Support that was not really needed.
Fingers crossed that R36 allows me to use my wifi in the room above or below my router (a few feet and wooden floor) without dropping out or such a low signal that my mobile network is faster and more reliable...
On a related note, have any of you managed to setup a wireless repeater using the superhub and another router (DD-WRT perhaps?) I have been trying for a while and cannot get an external net connection

Hi bunglehaze,
I have managed to set a repeater of the "superhub" by using an Edimax BR-6428NS router (
http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/n...br-6428ns.html )
In all the fairness - I have tried several others, claiming they support universal repeating option, but I had no luck with them.
The Edimax works like a charm and extends the network to the range where my old netgear did ( at G band ) and where the "superhub" firm. R30 cannot get ( same channel, G band )!?!?!
However, there is no much use for multimedia purposes via the wireless as the superhub drops the wifi 3-4 times an hour ( at least ) so, watching live TV is just pointless.
Waiting to see how the R36 will behave and then will have a final verdict on Virgin.
