50M Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say! - Page 11

One of the reported "faults" with the SH was the power adaptor making a noise. With it having Netgear on it looks like that's what you've got.

Reason, again reported and my own experience, the tech comes, unplugs the mdoem and plugs everything into the SH including the power adaptor that was in use.

I'll have a look at mine shortly (bit unaccessable ATM) and post the specs back.

The curved versions sometimes squeal, but the squareish ones dont.

He was asking about a vmng300 plug not a hub, yes the hub is usually curved

the plug i got with my modem is identical to the superhub one

I don't think it matters too much with the vmng300 as the psu we got with them was the same as the ambit 256 but I'm sure the old psu we got was 12v

The vmng300 uses a 12v psu so the netgear is the correct one, apologies it's been a while since I installed one

agree with the noise, i thought it was the V+ box's hdd at first

So the superhub is capable of 320 Mbps max then going by those chip specs. That is probably with the CPU just being used as a CM, not all the extra stuff VM are asking it to do too. So once 300+ is rolled out the SH will be obsolete :p

Once 100 goes to 8 channels the ambit should be obsolete

Which is why it has been superseded by the Superhub as sooner or later they will fail on the network.

pip08456 · 27-04-2011, 20:38

Sorry for the late repost Chrys, got involved with someting else and forgot!

My recollections were correct. The VMNG uses a 12V adaptor the SH 10V

Here's my orignal adaptor for the VMNG300. (currently being used for the SH with no problems.).

The VMNG300 only needs a firmware update (as originally envisaged) for 8 channel bonding to be enabled.

Unless of course the necessary firmware upgrade is implemented.

jb66 · 27-04-2011, 20:42

Doubt vm will pay for the ambit firmware update, superhub also uses 12v. Only old modems use 10v

The VMNG300 is obsolete so no firmware upgrades for it.

The Superhub on the otherhand is awaiting R27 in a couple of months.
