Re: What router do I get for a Superhub in modem mode?
Many thanks all for the router info...
Based on this and googling I want to get the ASUS-RT-N66U, but it is expensive and I would want to be reassured it can be installed/prepared from an Ubuntu PC before buying.
The PC runs Ubuntu 12.04 and is connected to the Superhub by wire. There are also netbooks, Android phones and tablets in the house, but no Windows PCs/laptops/netbooks.
Are the following the main install steps from the PC (guessing)?:
- using existing wired connection from Ubuntu PC to Superhub enter 192.168.0.1 on Firefox browser URL address line and set Superhub to operate in modem mode. The hub logo changes to violet colour. Leave Firefox. Remove hub-end of the ethernet cable (=cable 1) from the Superhub.
- connect ASUS router internet port to right-most ethernet port of Superhub with another ethernet cable.
- using cable 1 connect Ubuntu PC to an ethernet port on the ASUS router
- enter 192.168.0.1 ?? to Firefox to start ASUS router configuration
- do simplest possible, minimal install for ASUS router.
After this wired connection to/from PC and wifi for all other devices should work.
I also assume the same steps as above can be carried out wirelessly using Firefox or Chrome browser from the Android devices.
