Precisely so to separate the hardware from the firmware as the "VM spokesperson" is reported to have done is misleading BS to go with the rest of the BS we get from VM about this miserable apology for a hub.
Take this for another instance...

1 Give your signal the all-clear
Clear some space around your Super Hub to remove any obstacles between your devices. Furniture, your TV, even fish tanks can block your signal. So give your hub at least a metre of clear space for a better connection.

Now by itself it's not bad advice even though a little impractical for many - especially any epileptics who might be driven into fits by the gaudy light display - but it doesn't explain why countless people have reported a direct swap with a proper router without changing position or anything else can improve range considerably and stop all those annoying WiFi disconnections many report. On that particular front I can only assume incomptibilites as I have an IP cam operating on WiFi to my hub and that works just fine.
