If that's what people have to do because information has been removed from the new firmware, then it is completely related.

My best speed ever achieved on wireless with the super hub was 28meg. This morning i hard wired the laptop, and reached a staggering 148 meg. Gob smacked.

Is it thumbs up? Or thumbs down? I am am sure everyone wants to know.

After a successful beta test and public pilot of our Super Hub's new R36 firmware we're now ready to roll this out to everyone.

Starting tommorrow morning customers on our M20, M+, 100 and XXL 100 tiers will be able to update to the new firmware by rebooting their Super Hub. This will be followed by updates the following week for XL, XXL, L30 and XL60 customers and the week after that for L and 30Mb customers. You can check which tier you're on by logging into my.virginmedia.com.

The new firmware consists of the following changes:

Update to the latest Broadcom wireless drivers.
A fix for issues where downloading large files using the Blizzard Downloader and other multi threaded download applications would cause the Super Hub to reboot.
General improvements to resolve to the Super Hub rebooting or resetting to factory settings during use.
A fix for iPlayer and streaming video problems on the XBox 360 while the Domain Blocking feature is in use.
An updated GUI for the admin screen.
Thanks once again to all our beta testers on the forum for their help proving this firmware release was a solid one.

I'm currently on R30, how do I upgrade to the new firmware?

crazyronnie · 12-07-2012, 22:38

If your on M20, M+, 100 and XXL 100. Then tomorrow switch your hub off and then on again.

"This will be followed by updates the following week for XL, XXL, L30 and XL60 customers"

Some of the guys in the 100mb Forum over at Virgin Help Forums have posted to say they have R36 from about 10:00am this morning.

Unfortunately one is reporting 3 reboots since the upgrade, but maybe the SH is doing some maintainance and will settle??

lordofangels · 13-07-2012, 11:44

R36 here, 100 Mb area 02.
New UI is very nice indeed.
Finally a way to reset the SH from within the settings.

No problems, or reboots so far.
