No as they are different rooms increasing the coverage in my property.

But then, most people aren't taxing their internet connections even slightly, which makes me wonder why the majority of people bother having anything above 10Mb. This goes back to what I've been saying about the Super Hub seemingly being designed for people wanting the highest available broadband speeds for heavier traffic, yet crumbling under the weight of the traffic. Which seems ironic. Or should that be moronic?

So you need the increased coverage as the Super Hub can't handle the whole thing, is what you're saying.

Have you set your channels "end to end"? By that I mean, put the access point getting the most traffic on channel 13 and the other on channel 1 to avoid interference as much as possible.

As I have said we do not get that many calls with hub issues and most are simply resolved by unticking ip flood dtection.

No I already had the Edimax and a long ethernet cable so utilised the router as otherwise it would have sat in a box, and I now have a better coverage than I ever had with just the Edimax.

I left them both on Auto and they are working fine.

Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub

Having dropped the Super Hub back in for a day's test, I think the bridge mode can't come soon enough. I don't care what the results say, the performance is noticably worse and there's this suspicion that it'll need a reboot any minute.

Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub

Having recently seen a superhub I was quite impressed with it. It seems far more fully-featured than I expected. That said, I'm still eagerly awaiting the bridge mode so I can keep using my D-Link DIR825. It'd be nice if a standard modem was offered as an option, but I can fully understand why Virgin are standardising on one box.

I'm just hoping the new firmware coincides with my (hopeful) upgrade to TiVo, which should be soon-ish as I'm pre-registered for it.

WHAT?! More fully featured but you still eagerly await bridge mode!?

Were it fully feature as you suggest you would have no need of bridge mode to use your own router!

if they give us bridge mode, they will have to provide support for the router we are using with it, so undoing their standardisation

No they won't. 3rd party router support isn't something Virgin offer now with the standalone modems, so why would it different with the SuperHub

Personally I'm more than happy with that: my router, my business. As long as the modem side of the Super Hub works perfectly that's all VM need to worry about.

Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub

Superhub works flawlessly for me, and I'm a pretty heavy user! Not sure why people think these problems are present for everyone. I don't keep IP Flood Protection disabled, only if I want to use pingtest.net, but that only doesn't work because the router's doing its job, blocking a flood of (250) random packets. My websites load instantly, ping is low, speed tests are high. Brighton area.

Almost sounds like VM are trying to sell a "managed" internet service for pittance, funny that cause that level of service costs a fortune in the business world.

And how can you possibly say that??

Bridge mode will be available for those who know what they are doing and won't need support for their routers.

For all other lemmings the SH will be all they need.

I am still xcurious as to why they haven't released an interim firmware just to enable bridge mode, can't be too complicated. Then release another after thorough testing for all the other problems.

Seems VM don't understand rocket science.

As far as I'm aware the Netgear cable hubs that the SuperHub is based on don't have a bridge mode in them in the first place

So for Netgear to add it requires a more work than resolving any issues with the existing functions

And all updates would have to be fully tested before they are released

Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub

As far as I'm aware Ben, VM would have approached Netgear and asked them to produced a product for them at a set price to a set specification.

Now as far as I am aware there are many VM customers who have purchased their own routers at considerable expence. For VM to ask Netgear to produce anything that does not take into consideration their existing customers is a Faux Pas on VM's side.

VM could of course purchase those routers from their customers as reccompence if the equipment they were now issuing was as good as or better than what their customers have.

Stop making excuses for the inadequate performance of the superhub.
