I'm on number 5 because...

Install - first two didn't work at all. The install took a couple of hours and 3 VM bods before it was working. I was seriously underimpressed with the technical competence of all 3 so it may not have been the hubs to blame.

I complained about problems when using wireless on #3 and got #4 via the forum.

I complained to CEO office about #4 because it was predictably no different and got a VMNG300. While I was using that the firmware fix for the wireless driver memory leak was issued.

I upgraded from 10 which I'd downgraded to from 50 because of severe over utilisation to 60 and they insisted I needed a Superhub. The one I had wasn't on the books so they sent another and I've drilled holes for external antennas in casing #4 and put the guts of #5 in that - I'll swap the casing back if VM ever want #5 back or it needs replacing because it breaks.

None of mine have been especially troublesome except for the WiFi. I've put up with and/or worked around the poor feature set. I'm running with the firewall turned off and just relying on NAT and native Windows firewalls on PCs with nothing above the NAT on phones and tablets - I figure the less code that runs the less chance there is of hitting a bug. If it does play up I'll go to modem mode.
