Hi there,

I'm looking for a new router because the superhub is... not so super, to make it simple. Everything was working fine on my service installed on the 10th with 100mb speeds during all hours until the R36 update was released. As soon as the router updated, speedtests and any files I download would shoot up to 100mb for a few seconds then suddenly stop but it will work fine over wireless. However, the problem does not exist if I put the superhub into modem mode - Everything will download fine.

I've posted on the VM forums but the forum team keep on asking questions that I covered in the opening post, I have called 150 and was sent a new superhub. I received that yesterday but I'm experiencing the same problem with this one too but again, it's working fine in modem mode. As far as I can tell, it can't be my computer at fault then since it works in modem mode?

So, the solution I've come up (and probably the only solution) with is to buy a router with the superhub in modem mode; I'm wondering which one would suit me best? It needs to be gigabit ports since I'm on the 100mb service, upgrading to 120mb whenever the upgrading starts and the router needs to be under £50 but I could stretch it a little.

There's a couple I've been looking at;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linksys-E200...pr_product_top

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-W...3174243&sr=1-1

The linksys doesn't support 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time but since none of the devices in my house can support 5GHz at the moment, I suppose it doesn't matter. It's just to have some future proofing when every device is 5Ghz

Thanks for any input
