And yet when problems first surfaced we were told bridge mode would be the priority.

Glad I'm offski!!!

I'll also be inviting some of you to the Super Hub Modem Mode firmware trial before the end of May to double check if that improves the situation for those of you using a Super Hub.

that says it all:

"improves the situation"

well ignition says there is a new superhub on the way so bridge mode is irrelevant

Oh goody, more junk to add to my collection.

Let's see what's in this large jiffy bag under my desk. Ah yes 1 x media hub, which incidentally worked quite well and 1 x ambit 250 which also worked well. Still plenty of room for a netgear superdud.

you can put the Netgear superhub there, as the new superhub won't be made by netgear

There isn't a 'new' SuperHub on the way, and bridge mode is still relevent for those that want it

General Maximus · 10-05-2011, 07:43

I dont think the fact that Netgear made thr first one was the issue, it was just a half assed job rushed through without any proper testing.

The new device has already been commissioned, manufacturer selected, cash spent on development, etc.

You may want to ask the relevant people Ben. Or wait a few months for it to hit testing.

BenMcr · 10-05-2011, 08:48

I know exactly what is coming and it's not a 'new' SuperHub. It's the same technical spec as the current one, just from a different supplier

VMRocks · 10-05-2011, 08:54

Anyone know how to jump on board this beta test? Had my superhub for a few months now and it's running like a dream, wired and wirelessly on 1 pc and 2 laptops, would love to partake in future developments etc...

Thanks...

Keep checking the VM website for Mark to ask for testers then apply.

The tech specs may be the same, the outside appearence may be the same. Essentially the guts of it will be new, the firmware better and reliability, wireless and throughput better.

Be nice to know who the new manufacturer will be.

Don't think I suggested otherwise, the Superhub is pretty much a reference design after all. Doesn't change that the current revision is made by Netgear, the new one isn't. That it will have firmware written at gunpoint with summary execution for failure is a bonus.

I have defended the Superhub's hardware, it's good! Netgear's firmware is garbage. It's like taking a 128 bit processor and having it run 8 bit code.
