Shouldn't be licensing.. Netgear firmware is usually gnu open source afaik

There is no reason other than vm being awkward probably.. They wanted to customise it and call it their own and in the process broke it

Or is Netgear firmware proprietary, acknowledging those components (I've seen the source listing) that are Open Source?

I certainly support your view that VM made things awkward by customising the thing - but they are driven in this context by vanity (the casing) and cash (tghe licensed facilities, perhaps).

Or you can trigger the WPS function via the admin interface from an already connected device

That's handy to know - it's even possible I may have seen it and forgotten it but I know I never used the option.

I run the Virgin Superhub installed 48 hours ago in standalone modem mode and have hooked up my existing Belkin N1 router. I did that because I could not get the Superhub to 'see' an internet bridge [for re-setting] nor an ethernet VOIP telephone adapter.. With the original Belkin N1 router not having been re-set, all the old settings were still present and there was no need to change the WPA key on my small office set up (about 9 units). At least it has been good for my blood pressure.... I'm getting 29Mb/s hardwired download, 18 MB/s through the Belkin wireless and about 2 Mb/s upload. I'm happy with that.

BTW the installation engineers were kind enough to warn me that the Superhub had 'router issues'.

Welcome ethuamat. And congratulations on taking a pragmatic view and making it work.

You have got to love it. "Errr, this is what you are being forced to use but it doesn't really work yet. They are trying to fix it but I wouldn't hold your breath because so far it has taken them a year and a half".

My favourite one is, "so... is the superhub any good?"

Hard to dodge that question

Its like saying a Ferrari is faster than a Fiesta!

Course referring to the Superhub has what to do with SJ5? Never said anything about Ferraris or Fiestas.

Your post was cryptic and your speedtest was

ergo your speedtest result is from a lightning fast private closed network that has no relevance here.

If you look at his other posts you'll see that the speedtest link is actually a signature and unrelated to the post content. It also shows that the speedtest.net London server can easily handle anything thrown at it from a domestic VM connection.

Did I post that speedtest in this thread anywhere? No. Did my post make any mention of the speedtest? No. Does my post have anything to do with that speedtest? No.

Signature != post.

Your randomly joining up two completely unrelated matters and clutching at straws has no relevance here.
