I'm not sure what you were trying to draw my attention to but as I scanned through it I noticed WakeOnLan mentioned - that's something else that doesn't work properly with the SuperHub.

I don't know either but i'm not that fluent with networking and there seemed to be alot of details on there that could be useful LOL

How do you test wake on lan?

kwikbreaks · 23-06-2011, 17:14

I use it through LogMeIn if I want to wake up and use a home machine remotely. It used to work fine when I was on 20Mbps but I had to resort to port forwarding to a single machine with the hub. Now I've piggybacked a router on it I can't make it work at all. I'll try it again when my modem turns up.

CEO's office, the guy that arranged the unreleased firmware. Or rather, he said the VMNG300 wasn't really suited to 100meg. I wasn't going to argue the toss since I'd bagged the firmware to enable Modem Mode and I'd come round to the fact that getting a VMNG300 would only be until it burnt out and I'd be sent a SH again anyway

(well I keep telling that myself to make me feel better, I *did* really want a VMNG300 back!)

Dayum. CEO's office out of VMNG300's? Tomorrow: The apocalypse.

Skie · 25-06-2011, 09:15

They will still get a trickle of them in as people move onto 100meg

I doubt you will get the modem..

VM offered me the old modem back when I had cancelled my services only to tell me 2 weeks later that there are no modems available in the UK.

I cancelled my services once and for all...

I was wondering myself as the replacement hub arrived by courier the day after I was promised one on the forum. The (apparently brand new) vmng300 arrived by normal post 3 days after I was promised it - I guess the hubs are handled by some central facility but the modems are just posted out by the ceo office staff.

Unless they are refurbing the returns from upgrades they will eventually run out but maybe by then the firmware will have got a bit closer to fit for purpose but it sure as hell has a long way to go to meet that standard. Just allowing it to be used as a modem isn't really a proper solution. IMO VM would be well advised to grasp the nettle and get some new kit design sorted out before it gets enormously expensive to replace those in the field as people understand that rebooting a router frequently to get it working again isn't the norm.

All devices connected via wireless and I've been using loading the modem as hard as I can to see if I can get it to fail, and I can't

Why oh why couldn't Virgin have put a modem in a decent router, the wndr3700 is brilliant, that would have been a great starting point for any all in one design!

For those who are still having problems with their superhub, don't accept it, it isn't right, the device shouldn't reboot or require a reboot. The device isn't performing as it should. Complain, complain and complain some more.

The VMNG300 is faultless, choose a router of your own, and browse happy!

Can You Possibly Do Some Speedtests please?

To:

London, UK

New York, USA

Mumbai, India

LA, USA

Wellington, NZ

Would Be Interesting To See the Results

Did all of these at peak time, around 18:30, IMO not bad speeds for peak time! Also did a test with a torrent and got 11.8Mb/sec download, so still getting great speed on torrents even at peak time.

The Paris server is normally good for tests.

100meg is easy for me to achieve, but I can't say the same with the upstream, only getting 5-6meg thanks to ~95% utilisation across all 4 upstream cables in the local area network

ETA fix 8th July, we'll see.

Mind doing one to birmingham

I'll join in the fun, these are from Telford (Shrops) - with a Super Hub running R27T2 firmware;

to Brummy-land;

to Paris;

(oh and yes, these upstream speeds are good, but it's best not to assume they've fixed it, it could be 4-5meg in a few minutes).

Wow, that seems really good from where latency is concerned.

Makes me swing towards getting 100 Mb now

Dont know how I had faster download than you though on:

And Yes, Paris Does Indeed seem to be a good server:
