The Netgear DG834G (ADSL) and WGR614 (Cable) were pretty reliable products (although the original firmware was a bit dodgy!).
Since getting Cable Broadband 10 years ago, we've had 5 routers and the Superhub has been the least reliable of them all (in less than two months).

They were on strike as they weren't being provided enough bananas.

Have you tried manually picking what channel you want the wifi to be on?

That was my experience too.

Try:
Install InSSider or similar and have a look at how busy your local wifi channels are.
Change your 802.11 mode to 145mbps and make sure your 802.11band is 2.4ghz.
Then manually set your channel to the least busy one.

Worked for me, hope it works for you.

Interesting, mine randomly reboots itself all the time. Maybe that's why the wireless is relatively stable.

wireless still running perfect; the only reason it went off 8 days ago is because of a power-cut. it was up-to about 14 days before the cut with no problems

Wireless stats for the network, I am at the opposite side of the house and upstairs; away from the superhub, and because of a wall which was moved in the house there is a Steel RSJ which will be blocking some of the signal

Had no idea that chickens can have their own wireless network. Are they surfing the internet before they become an essential asset to the KFC bargain bucket

My wifi network is called "cows". Seems like we have a bit of a farmyard theme going on here!

@TJS, How did you get your Mac to show that information?
