New Router or Access Point

Is their any evidence that the router is poor on the SH? I have the offer of a good Access Point and as it seems Wireless is the SH's Achilles Heel, would it be OK? Or is the router also an issue with the Super Hub ?

Re: New Router or Access Point

If the SH is in modem mode, then barring other issues such as congestion, an external router is your best bet.

I have a SH (modem mode), an external router and an Acess Point. All behaving perfectly.

Re: New Router or Access Point

If you have an access point, then just switch off the wireless on the superhub and connect your access point. If you want to do anything more advanced, like changing your DHCP DNS settings, then you'll need an external router and stick your SH into Modem Mode.
