Superhub Installed today... need help with settings PLZ!

riccojames · 11-04-2011, 18:55

Hi All

VM isntalled the superhub today and all works well with the LAN to the pc.

However, wireless is a bit of a problem. The engineer was quick to plug in and leave with no idea if the wireless was working! SHOCKING!!!!!

Is there a basic set up page to get me started?

TIA

Ricco

you can use the default settings, the wireless SSID (network name) and the WEP key (the password) are on the label on the back of the superhub.

if you want to change the default settings then (when your connected via ethernet cable) go to http://192.168.0.1/ and click the left button for wireless settings, here you can change the network name and password

I try not to get involved with wifi either, usually an update of the wifi card driver fixes connections with the superhub

TBH, if engineers had to ensure wifi was working with all Superhub installs they would be there all day. Not just because of the well trumpeted issues with the hub itself, but because of how irritatingly inconsistent every setup and location can be when it comes to wireless.

What would be a good idea is if engineers left a nice "cheat sheet" behind with quick advice on how to fiddle with the device to get the best performance. Simply setting the wireless to 145 meg seems to fix a lot of problems with the hub.

Or just give us a piece of kit that works! The dlink 615 was amazing, 1min setting up and always top wifi speed

^I'd kill for a setup like that, but a mid-poor TBB graph won't really cut it will it.

TBB graph results have nothing to do with a wireless connection.

And Yes JB the D-Link was far superior to the superdud.

Whats thw easiest way to connect via remote access? I do have a ddns ip address but can not see where to enter the details!

riccojames · 12-04-2011, 11:12

How do I put the Dynamic DNS in the superhub?

I use that for remote access to security cameras.

TIA

craigj2k12 · 12-04-2011, 13:07

there is currently no support for dynamic dns on the superhub. this will be released in a later firmware update

riccojames · 12-04-2011, 13:41

Yikes! So how am I going to view my wireless cameras remotely?

I use eyespy247 wireless cameras that were set up nicely using the dlink615, omg I think I better tell VM they can take this superhub back if I can not access the cameras!

TIA

So why did you get one installed? Did you upgrade or have a problem with your modem?

riccojames · 12-04-2011, 18:07

I upgraded to give unlimited access without restrictions to my webcameras!!

I can not even work out how to use the DLINK DIR615 as an access point, if that could still use DDNS.

Few more days of trying to get a work around then I will be telling them to pick this piece of $h!t up and give me the old modem back.

Just remembered, whats with the very bright blue light that flashes

I thought the cops were parked outside our house last night for two hours, then I just had to unplug the friggin thing.

Try this http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co....edia-super-hub

I will try that tmrw, thanks Masque.

My PS3 keeps disconnecting from the EA-Autolog servers now, this NEVER happened prior to the 'superhub' install. The PS3 is LAN connected FFS!

My wireless IP camera's are frustratingly slow accessing the admin pages, and sometimes do not load properly...there are no faults with the cameras as the settings on them have not changed.

I also noticed that the general internet browsing was considerably slower after 5pm this evening, again sure this was not the case prior to the 'superhub'!

This is a pathectic, to call it a 'superhub' is a disgrace!

Im just remembering that I was also told it connected to the TV, Phone & broadband being a 'superhub'. Crud, its just an all in one modem/router thats intermittent to say the least. Certainly does not connect to the phone or the TV, argh the lies I was told on the phone call.

2 days off completely WASTED! Thanks a friggin bunch VM.

Thanks to those who have replied to my needs so far, mucho appreciated.

Ricco
