Superhub : Just got the SuperHub 3

[Diablotf]

Back with Virgin Media after leaving them a couple of years ago. Engineer came around this morning and said I was the first he had given one of these to. Not seen a thread here with anyone saying they had one yet, so figured if you guys had any questions fire away and I'll try answer.

You're not the first to have one.. Just that those who had them first couldn't talk about it due to a trial NDA

Read the trial thread in the news section

You put it next to a subwoofer? Well, there's an old joke involving a Sub and a PS3 but I wont go into it! :p

Anyway, let us know how you get on with it! Have you played in the UI yet to see how it compares with your previous equipment?

Hey that looks like the same subwoofer I have

Why oh why is the damn thing white?

Black is a much better choice of colour.

Yeah it's next to the subwoofer for now, I won't be using the wireless on this just yet, so should be fine. Will eventually switch to modem mode and hook it into my DLink Router. Just going to give it a couple of weeks before cancelling my Plusnet service.

The UI looks pretty slick, I really can't remember the superhub 2 well but there doesn't appear to be anything amazingly new on this. I did try to change the DHCP scope from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 but it doesn't allow you to change that. You can only specify a range within 192.168.0.0/24.

Going around the house I did notice the wireless signal was better. I used to get dropouts on the superhub2 but not with this so far.Early days though. The signal strength and throughput are better all around.

edit: Don't see the option of 'Respond to ICMP echo requests sent to WAN IP' , either it's been removed or I am blind.

Racist.

All my other tech is black, so I wouldn't want a daft white box ruining the look of all my tech.

Wonder if there'd be much demand for offering a choice of colours. A lot of "minimalist" modern homes are styled in mostly-white.

It is not an option at this early stage, good luck!

I would not be bothered what colour it was.

The performance is more important to me.
