Superhub : SuperHub as an Access Point

[m74uk]

I'm currently running my SuperHub on 50Mb but it's located in a back office.
I've got a WG602 Access Point set up in a central point in my Hall hardwired back to the Hub.

Am I right in saying I can't use my Spare SuperHub as a replacement for my WG602?
(that is, just as an access point)

Would be nice as I've got a PC at the other side of the house & that doesn't get a great connection to the Superhub in the back office (old brick walls etc...)

You can use it as an access point but I don't see why you'd want to, the wireless on it is considered a pile of **** by many.

I try to keep up to date with the forum & I know there's a lot of people having issues with the Superhub but in my opinion it's doing it's job.

Can't complain about my download/upload speeds & other than the initial problem of not being able to log-in to the Hub (was still working though), I can't complain about it.

I find the wireless on it perfectly functional.

(& careful about the asterisks, I got censured from a MOD for the exact same thing.)

Please do not use asterisks to avoid the swear filter - re-occurrence may incur infractions.....

I'm with that opinion - the wireless is so, so bad. fortunately, my main machine is wired, but everything else in the house is wireless. still, I've come to expect nothing more from Netgear over the years. Cheap crap.

Sorry, this is me with wireless.
What more can I ask for with the wireless.

Been using NETGEAR for as long as I can remember.

Before the installation of my Superhub I had the Abit modem & a NETGEAR RP114 Router & a DS108 Hub & my WG602.

Before that I was using NETGEAR HE102 & HA501 Wireless A combination.

I can't honestly fault them. Maybe I'm just lucky

I'm not trying to avoid the swear filter, I'm trying to avoid swearing. The **** is simply representative of what everyone else calls it, sort of shorthand for <insert derogatory term here>

I'm not the one describing it as rubbish as I don't even have one. Just reflecting on what other people here have said.

So you're either on the 100mb service and getting a very bad result or a lower service and getting an incorrect speedtest result that is artificially elevated over the true speed, neither of which proves anything.

I'm on 50mb.

Wasn't having a pop u. Just stating that in my experience NETGEAR is perfectly fine.

As for a artificially elevated, I consistently get between 49-55 so I don't think you can say it doesn't prove anything.....on the contrary, it proves that wireless on my SuperHub is working perfectly & isn't the brown jobbie stuff that some people are claiming.

Think it's only fair to give praise where it's due when others are quick to condemn them.

You appear to be missing the point - there is no difference between using words that invoke the swear filter, resulting in asterisks, and using asterisks instead of the word that invokes the asterisks.

The intention is the same, and, as a family-friendly forum, it is inappropriate - as stated earlier, re-occurrence of this behaviour may invoke infractions.

Link to CF T&Cs - the above behaviour is covered in Section 3, para 4, and you may also wish to review Section 3, para 6.....

Anyway.......Back to the initial Question.

SuperHub as an Stand alone Access Point?????

Anybody tried it?

[Skie]

I've been able to get O2 adsl routers to act as bridges by pointing to the other one as a gateway, but I dont think you can define a gateway on the superhub. You can't break anything by trying, but I doubt it would work.

I think you're missing the point, the intention was not the same, the intention of it was as an ellipssis, a polite refrain from actual bad language that other users have used to describe the SH among other things. There was no intention of using any word to invoke a swear filter or use asterisks to imitate it, the point was to blankly quote other people's words that do not invoke the swear filter. I didn't even know or care that there was a swear filter.

Section 3 para 4 refers to "excessive and unnecessary use of bad language." An ellipsis is not bad language.

Nevertheless, next time I'll use the exact same language as other people have been using on this same "family-friendly forum", such as "poo" "bull excreta", "butt-gravy", "crap" and "steaming pile of fecal matter, freshly vomited on." - if you somehow think that's more appropriate than an ellipsis.

As for reviewing section three, para 6, I distinctly remember last two times I PM'd you regarding site rules/moderation you ignored my message and never replied. Aside from that I do not see a statement of fact - that you've misunderstood my intentions on both occasions - as an argument. Regardless, I'm leaving this at that as clearly I'm going to get nowhere, I'm wrong nomatter what my intentions were and I cannot discuss it in PM with you because you don't answer them.

what's the point of having a sweat filter if you don't want it to be used (out of interest)?

Let me make this clear. Do as you have been requested.
