Is the Superhub usable - yes.
Is it fault free - no.
Does everybody get problems - no but it seems that lots do.
Can some or indeed most of those problems be circumvented by putting it in modem mode and buying a router of your choice - yes.
Should you buy a router straight away - no - try the Superhub first - it may be good enough.
I don't rate the Superhub at all but I am using it - that's because I don't expect super performance from an ISP freebie and can make do with what it will do. YMMV

Well said.
I'm a happy SuperHub user since I installed it over 2 months ago. I'm only on L 30Mb but I'm getting >30Mb wired and >30Mb wireless approx 3m away in next room through 11" brick & block cavity wall.
Wireless range with my SHub is similar to DLink router it has replaced but SHub connects far more readily with my laptop and gives more reliable connection. As my SHub is in an extension at the rear of my house I don't expect fantastic coverage all over the house and certainly didn't get it with the DLink!
The SHub may not suit everybody and obviously there do seem to be performance issues with it for some people, however so far it suits my purpose and does so reliably.
