To make DMZ work well you loose some of the functions of the Airport Extreme but that is better than no service.

What functions have you lost?

Make no mistake VM have admitted to the problems, who cares to what extent, there are issues affecting users so lets not pretend there arent and try to be a bit more helpful.

Yes, but lets not also forget that these issues aren't affecting all customers or causing the impact some people seem to believe (this is an important fact)

there are and for those that are experiencing issues, we all need to focus on offering advice, not flaming each other.

Your right, It hasnt affected all customers only some. We know the superhub can function so lets put all the **** that has gone before to the side and focus on resolving and improving the superhub..

Honestly I want the superhub, I couldnt be annoyed with 2 pieces of equipment and having to work in Bridge mode, and even then I still dont think my problem with upload speed would be resolved.

But its nice just to hear some common sense from people instead of the usual that has went before

I too would like the hub to work properly. Right now it only causes me minor inconveniences so I'm prepared to wait to see if VM can fix the issues that I see. If they can't then I'll either buy a gigabit router or move my NAS back onto a switch and use my old 100Mbps router again. One of the advantages I see in having the hub is that I can't be script kiddied into having to mess with my network to just have one machine plugged into a modem if I call in a fault. The disadvantage is obviously the buggy firmware and lack of features.

what 'features' is it lacking?

DynamicDNS

MAC Spoofing

QOS

USB device support

I'm not getting on with it great so far. I keep getting disconnected on PS3 but wireless on laptop is working ok.

I'm gonna try my Netgear router I has off Vm I was previously using. It seems it could be a problem with the superhubs lan ports maybe?

port translation instead of just forwarding
decent bandwidth usage monitoring
possibility to set DNS

It has nothing but the most basic features - even reserving an IP makes the wretched thing reboot.

I don't want this to turn into another hub bashing thread though. I can quite easily live without those niceties if they just (in my case) fix the WiFi so I don't have to reboot it to connect on a seemingly random basis. Others report far more annoying problems but I don't see those.

Look at 'port triggering' on the superhub

How will that let me obscure the fact I run an FTP server?

I'd forgotten about that! Damn, that was annoying. It could at least allow you to enter half a dozen addresses at a time then click apply.

I just use a high port forward number and have it pushed to 21 on the LAN side.

Does anybody know what the the ethernet port speed is on the PS3?

_wtf_ · 26-05-2011, 16:11

PS3 has Gigabit ethernet

Ah ok cool, cheers.

What about the Netgear WNR200?

_wtf_ · 26-05-2011, 16:24

Nope, 100.
