Cable Forum - View Single Post - Superhub Weird behaviour and wifi problems in the last few months

I've been getting wifi dropouts at the rate of about 1 or so a week for the last couple of months. The wired network ports are fine but I find that when I try to make a wireless connection, it doesn't succeed (or even see the wifi network) even though things already on the wireless connection stay working .. at least, until I disconnect and then try to reconnect them at which point they also completely lose the wifi network.

Also, I'm seeing lots of activity on my network and wifi (LEDs on the Superhub flashing like crazy all the time), even when I'm not using it.

Seems to coincide with VM adding a 'Virgin Media' network on to my hub as part of their plan to roll out hotspots all over the country. Though even when I opted out on my account settings page and rebooted, the hotspot is still there coming from my Superhub.

Has anyone else been seeing this or is it likely just a case of the Superhub hardware getting flaky and me being paranoid?

EDIT: Also, should add that I'm seeing the green light blinking on my V+ box and it unable to connect to the VoD services frequently too. In both cases, the problem is solved (for an indeterminate amount of time) by rebooting the affected VM hardware.
