Hi all, I need some help with a problem Im having with a VM connection.

I have the hub set to modem only mode and a TP Link 1043 wireless router. The modem only mode with an RJ45 direct into the desktop PC is returning the full steady 50mb we expect.

The wifi on the other hand is cronic - 0.05mb a sec cronic. When it comes online it gets up to 8-9mb, but then shortly after it drops again for no reason.

I've reinstalled the latest firmware on the router, I've factory reset and redone the wireless and it still keeps dropping with pings of 300-500 and a maximum speed of 0.1mb sec.

The desktop PC keeps loosing connection periodically - when I went into the router interface and did the quick setup again it detects my connection as a Static IP - If I choose a dynamic IP on setup it contacts the modem for settings (no activity shows on the RJ45 to the modem and the router web interface returns no IP, no Subnet, nothing.

I can't figure out if the router is dying, if the superhub is my problem or what - its driving me absolutely crazy - not only that, but I know the Virgin techs will refuse to help me with my own router so I'm really hoping this is superhub related, is it, or is that wishful thinking?

Thanks in advance!
