So I've got it on a USB drive in a notepad file then just a case of copy and paste.

i wouldnt want to be you typign that intoa iphone or android small phone lol

Does take a while then I realised I could just email the key to myself and open it on the phone that way. Lol

you need a connection in the first place :p my 3g doesnt always works so i have a fun job with that oen but ood way to do it

Out of curiosity, which scenario do you think is more likely:

Someone taking 10 computers and sitting on your network for 2.264735807442766e+27 years (A very low estimate actually, this is for a 20 character password containing no punctuation)

Or

Your pendrive is stolen / Your email account is hacked / God knows what else you've stored it on and it's accessed that way?

interesting question

assuming the password is dictonairy type word i say 1 but if it 20 randonm character for instance hdffgkldjfdhdkfhldfgerr i say 2

So if you VMNG300 dies the will only be one device to replace it and that is everyones favourite the Superhub, so cherish your old device while it still works.

actually it doesnt work exactly the same way so stop spreading misinformation please.

We get it, you dont like the vmng300 because your employer ditched it.

You've all missed the amazing security offered by the Superhub - you can't pick the wretched thing up through most walls so it's as safe as wired even without any encryption at all

You are one of the few who disbelieve that it actually works the same as a VMNG300 and that device was ditched because it was incapable of going forward with 8 downstreams unlike the Superhub which makes it an outmoded piece of junk which sooner rather than later you will need to use.

They should have bought off the shelf equipment from Motorola and Cisco as it would have been compatible with the CMTS's that we use plus they would have been a known quantity regards performance.

You do though have a short memory when it suits you, I a being made redundant by my employer so why oh why would I say a device was better if I did not think it was true.

It might try to behave the same as a modem (not neccessarily the VMNG300) but Ignitionnet has said it isn't because it isn't a modem as such, but a fully bridged router. I don't pretend to know the technical ins and outs of what the difference is between the two and I doubt very much that it should make a difference to performance, but I definitely attribute the problems I was having in the rubbish speed tests I was getting when I had one (two) to it. It is no co-incidence that as soon as I went back to the VMNG300 they shot straight back up to where they should be.

If your VMNG300 develops a fault you can only have a Superhub though to replace it.

As I said above they should have bought Motorola and Cisco devices as they work in the correct way with the CMTS that are on the network, cost should not come into it as it is probably a negligible amount anyway.

Masque all I see in you is someone who is 100% loyal to whatever their employer does.

I guarantuee if VM brought out a new modem or reverted to the vmng300 you would then be calling the superhub a obselete peice of junk. You just towing the partyline.

Be careful because many customers will still be using vmng300s those who have never changed tiers since they had it installed and those who were given it before it stopped been handed out. VM still support this device they just no longer supply it. The 2 are different things.

I am the wrong person to say to the devices work 100% the same way as I have seen repeatedly that they dont, remember I had both activated at once for a while and I was able to swap them at will and as such compare performance in jitter and throughput. Not to mention ignitions explanation which I agree with. A router in a bridge mode is not the same as a modem, it acts like one but isnt exactly the same.

The VMNG300 will not make a return as it only supports 4 downstreams which makes it obsolete as the service heads towards 8 downstreams so with the VMNG300 faiing to meet that criteria it is a piece of junk.

Tell me something if a company was making you redundant would you be showing brand loyalty if so the is something not quite right, I tell it as I see and and have read enough about the devices in work to know a lot more than I could ever post on a public forum with regards the future.

The Superhub has been made the default device across all tiers and when your beloved VMNG300 bites the dust you will have to accept it as the replacement as the are no more VMNG300 modems to be had anywhere.

Again the very important fact to remember is that in a few months I will be made redundant that does not make someone a fanboy oddly enough in the real world.

I dont have to accept anything, I could choose to leave VM if I felt the service via the CPE wasnt good enough.

[craigj2k12]

the superhub adds to base ping rate and jitter, this has been confirmed by many users, so is FACT

the superhub allows for 8 downstreams, which makes it able to cope with speeds over 200mbit - FACT

on 30, 50 or 100, my OPINION is that the VMNG is better, it can acheive full speed while providing lower ping and jitter. whichever you think is better is up to you both (chrys and masque) but the facts are above

You can do 200Mbit with the VMNG300 - if you limit it the product to 4 downstreams

However Virgin have already started to use more than 4 downstreams for 100Mbit, so that requires the VMDG480 to work correctly.
