Bit of a problem doing that if you have 3000 PCs on your network and you need authentication and secure segmented file usage and appropriate corporate systems controls....

you can use a 2 click mouse if you so wish; or ctrl and click; or 2 fingers on the touchpad and click

also this is going way off topic LOL

Hugh! Is it me or has this thread that I started gone slightly Off Topic?

No, it's not you.....

Why not set up the belkin as a wired gateway into your superhub, then use the wireless on the belkin. I run mine like that, albeit I used an ASUS into the superhub.

It will be even easier when bridge mode is finally released to turn it into a dumb modem.

If VM wish to associate the word Super to this CPE then it should have a feature rich GUI and not have less than the most basic router a user could buy.

Most of all it should be true UPnP and work

I'm on my second super hub and had my voltages trimmed and I'm down to 4 or 5 reboots a day now. A vast improvement over the 5 reboots an hour.

It's purely down to the wireless as it doesn't go down at all when wireless is switched off.

I have a netgear N-300 and have tried to cable that into the super hub but I just get a "device is managed by 192.168.1.2" when I try to access the N-300 to set up networking and internet.

Regards.

While this will work, and is a viable solution, why should he have to do this?

I personally have no superhub related issues except for the wireless dropping about once a day requiring a reboot, but reading these (and other) forums, gives strong indication that there IS a significant minority subset of users with superhub problems.

Significant minority meaning lots and lots of users, but still only a small percentage of the total users.

Its like buying a nice new, shiny car with lots of "bling", then finding out its engine doesn't work, but the garage refusing to do anything about it, because you can buy a second clapped out but working car to tow it.

Under the sale of goods act, 1979, goods must be
1) As described,
2) Of satisfactory quality
3) Fit for the purpose for which they were sold

While the superhubs are not technically sold, if theres a significant number of people with failures, even though its a small percentage of the total userbase, resulting in them having to find work rounds such as buying a 2nd router to get basic and reliable functionality, I personally would be arguing that they fail under part 3. Fit for the purpose.

Just a thought to throw out there...

Perhaps Netgear made two or more batches of superduds. Same exterior design, differing internals, but functional to the same specification. Therefore, firmware designed for one, is slightly broken on the other?

You have answered your question yourself.

Cue Masque et al posting "mines been up and running for xxdays xxhrs with no problems".

However VM are not required to provide a router, or a device suitable to support more than one connection.

The Superhub, wired appears to work for everyone ..

In that case why didn't they do what they were required to do and supply a modem?!

Why did they force customers to use an inferior CPE?

The CPE even wired does not seem to work for everyone.

Why did they deign to prefer a name on it which it doesn't live up to and makes them a mockery!

Consider yourself chastised!

VM are not required to provide anything at all but they'd have a problem selling their broadband if they didn't.

Pretty much the normal endpoint for home broadband is a wireless router. VM used to provide that via a modem and quite low end router - presumably supplying the wireless cable router to compete with the bulk of ADSL ISPs who supply ADSL routers. Anybody wanting better than the standard ADSL ISP issued kit can buy their own but you can't buy your own cable modem. That was not an issue until VM decided to swap over to a hub for reasons best known to their marketing people but almost certainly because they view one box as simpler and most customers as thick. The problem with that is they supplied a really low end router which seems to have some compatibility issues. The result is people reluctant to upgrade because they will get a Superhub which they have seen lambasted on just about every board dealing with cable.
