Re: The All New Super Hub 2AC from virgin media, Did we mention its as bad as the 1st

I am an ex employee of virgin.
I worked on the telco and ethernet networks carrying out maintenance.

Yesterday I received the new hub2ac and I am not at all surprised about its poor performance.

As a connection for 50mbps it would be fine, However this being said it performs well on 50mbps on a wireless connection at 2.4ghz.
The 5.0ghz cannot go above 50, My bandwidth is set to 100mbps DL.

On an ethernet connection it can only handle between 20 and 40mbps, which is pretty poor considering its hard-wired, as is most of the equipment in my workroom.

Will keep you updated but i have as always, my utter doubts

Your description of the SH2ac doesn't accord with my experience. I has behaved perfectly for me in both router and modem mode and continues to do so on the v1.01.09 trial firmware.

The 5GHz WiFi light being on in modem mode might suggest a dud device. Is that still the case?
