Superhub My awful experience with Superhub and 60Mb - in pictures - Page 2

yeah quite a few people reported significant power level changed in the beta forum (i thought you were on it?)

Mine increased by about +6 on the downstream, others reported strange changes

Either way, I dont trust the figures it reports

mine stayed the same

Are there any splitters before the powered amplifier or after?

No. Coax comes through the wall, into the powered splitter, from there, one cable into the tivo, one into the Superhub, then the superhub wired into the desktop PC.

can you please explain the cable feed from the cabinet and a picture of the cabinet ?

Just to note my power levels also remained pretty much the same going from R30 to R36. Maybe under 5% difference which surely could just be down to rebooting and resynching generally?

That's wierd, I thought I needed a blue light on the Superhub for internet, I have 3 greens now and the net is still working... usually a top green light means the connection has dropped.

thenry · 19-07-2012, 18:05

the cabinet needs upgrading and cables need to be correctly put on a correct tap. doubt its an amp fault or the levels would fluctuate ?

the top green means no bonding. if you login and check out connection stats youll see only 1 down channel.

reboot your SuperHub, you might pull r36 if its not already loaded. your power levels and stuff are on the login page top right. no need to login.

alistairgd · 19-07-2012, 18:13

So that green cabinet needs upgraded? What would I say when I phone up?

I logged in and at the main meniu it says

You are currently in Router Mode. To change to Modem Mode, go to the Super Hub Settings section

Huh?

thenry · 19-07-2012, 18:15

you dont phone up. you fire off an email to the CEOs office

---------- Post added at 17:15 ---------- Previous post was at 17:13 ----------

are you in modem mode? close it or do a pinhole reset. has the web interface changed? if so logout then top right itll say router status i think.. there will be connection stats.

alistairgd · 19-07-2012, 18:52

Okay I did a reset and I am now on the R36 version, new menus etc. I'll see if I can find the device stats, power levels etc and post hem if the connection stays up long enough.

Next to the advanaced settings button on the main menu it says

You are currently in Router Mode. To change to Modem Mode, go to the Super Hub Settings section.

Is this how it should be?

Thanks for your help.

thenry · 19-07-2012, 18:59

ignore the modem mode info if your happy running it in combo mode. for connection stats you dont need to login. logout then on the login page look top right corner for router status. easiest to find.

theres also info within advanced settings under network.

not sure how copy and paste will look. print screen or type up

alistairgd · 19-07-2012, 19:10

I'm back to 3 green lights instead of 1 blue and 2 green.

Power Level (dBmV) 58.0 dBmV

thenry · 19-07-2012, 19:12

not surprising. its not stable at all! i had those problems when my connection become unstable but it was more a network fault rather than power levels. nonetheless its unstable. 58 up... fry an egg!

have you checked out BT infinity?

Oh dear

There is nothing in that cab except a line amplifier, and there are no taps with different power levels within that type of architecture........

So what is going to but upgraded?

What tap is going to be used when they are all preset and all have the same level? If that level is within tolerance at the tap in the street, then network will do nothing.........
