Whats that a new modem there bringing out?

I've got the Superhub at the moment and I'm getting constant disconnects when gaming online via homeplugs. I never had this problem with my old modem. I've had the superhub about a week now. I upgraded from 50 to 100meg.

It is a firmware upgrade coming out shortly that will enable the hub and the Superhub to be used as a standalone modem.

The is a 2nd Superhub coming out later in the year that will be offered alongside the existing Superhub with no option to choose one over the other.

Well, superhub can be run with only the modem side functioning (aka bridge mode/modem mode) but the proper firmware is in alpha stage - not even a beta rolled out to the 100 or so testers who signed up, of which I am one. Chances are it'll be a couple of months before it's out properly.

I often feel VM have gone the long way round, by exchanging a fully-functioning 100Mb capable modem for a modem/router with the router side switched off annoying swathes of customers in the process, but that's probably just me...

I hope I can get my old modem back it worked like a dream this superhub is one big headache. Very frustrating when you spend money getting your connection the best you can.

Very frustrating for me too.

Im going to be very blunt.... The superhub is pish.

Simples

I`m sure I read thread where you totally denied this or did I dream it?

So is it still Netgear?

I said that the VMNG300 will never be manufactured again.

I have not denied that we are getting a second Superhub which will be supplied along side the existing Superhub with the same case and O/S but manufactured by another vendor to ensure we never have a shortage of stock.

as the vendors name has not actually been officially released the manufacturers name is open to conjecture because until then it is business sensitive information.

It's a great modem the vmng300, does upto 100meg doesn't it?

It is no longer officially supported for 100Mb and it may fail due to the upcoming changes by which time modem mode will be available on the Superhub.

I see you've lost me lol, modem mode?

Can it go faster than 100meg then? What can the superhub handle?

The Superhub is awaiting a firmware upgrade which will give you the ability to switch off the router function and use it purely as a modem with your own router, and it can run up to 400Mb potentially.

Ah ok cheers.

In my experience the superhub either doesn't like homeplugs or the ps3..

I've seen other reports of problems with homeplugs on the Superhub. Mind you I've seen reports of problems with just about anything and the Superhub....

I lent my son some 85Mbps ones (should do ~ 30Mbps) for a laptop feed as WiFi was abysmal (he has a Superhub so what would you expect) and they were very poor yet they were fine when I last used them on ADSL. He ran ethernet in the end - well OK to be more accurate he conned some ethernet and time from me.

I currently do that anyway (just turned off wireless) and despite the warnings have had no problems at all.
