Re: Keep VMNG300 modem when upgrading?
I've still got my VMNG300 but am using the superhub. It stops connecting to the Internet every 2 weeks or so and wireless is dodgy but on the whole it's ok I suppose

If I wanted to I could get the VMNG300 re-activated and use my gigabit router but I reckon the superhub has the better chipset and once bridge mode is available I'll try that with my router

Thats exactly why i dont want the super hub, perfectly happy with my router running Tomato and have been for years.

Everything works perfectly: bandwidth monitoring, static dhcp, access restrictions, ssh server, multiple 360's get an open connection to Xbox Live.

Our home network has been perfect for years, i dont want to ruin it by having a modem / router i can do nothing with.

I'm happy to hear we will not be forced to have the superhub anyway

You can't be forced to do anything .. you might have to fight to keep the 300 though ..
