Right lets get to the bottom of this, if you have a superhub, lets see if the problems are all based around one thing, wifi...

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
Ticked all the frequent problems ones except for wired speed problems which I didn't have. Reliability was the main problem. You missed an option out for bad range, which is terrible. I couldn't get a signal in the loft cilonversion when I can get 3 or 4 bars from any of the other 4 routers I have

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
Wired = Only one problem since I got it.
Wireless = Drops dead almost daily, forcing a reboot to bring it back, plus the signal seems weaker, I can no longer take my laptop over to my friends across the road and keep the connection, which I could do with my old wireless router.

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
From what I've been asking it seems if you use the superhub as a modem and leave wifi to another device it seems pretty reliable.

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
Don't have 'frequent' problems. Since Tivo was launched, I've rebooted Superhub twice due to wireless connectivity issues.

close but I also had to remove all port forwards.

So.

with DMZ on to another router.
wireless off.
no port forwards.
firewall off.
no lan traffic going through it.

was reasonably stable.

with bridge mode it is fine also.

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
Only problem I have found is wifi sometimes (and i`m talking rarely) needs a reboot due to total loss and when I swapped my Xbox over with another one I have port triggering seem to of got stuck on the other xbox, again a reboot fixed.

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
So bridge mode isn't available yet, but should be in later firmware release?

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
yep, the bridge mode in testing has no GUI, VM have to manually disable/enable it on request per user, as you can guess they not going to have it like that for hundreds of thousands of customers. In R27 its part of the changelist so will be integrated into the GUI.

Of course this is subject to change, I have never seen R27.

Re: Lets get the bottom of this
When I have my install would the tech be able to enable bridge mode? With current firmware?
