Is it true the superhub cant do dual band g / n? Cos i really need it to.

It can do G and N devices fine; it cant do 2.4 GHZ + 5 GHZ at the same time though

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
The Superhub is NOT dual band meaning a choice of 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz is offered. On 2.4Ghz g/n is standard on the Superhub.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
Just another update but I think you're getting the idea LOL also i've noticed over the last 2/3 days that my wifi signal has gone cleaner; has there been any small updated pushed that wont change the f/w version?
Compared to an earlier post; (the RSSI was always identical up until the last 3/4 days; laptops consistently in the same spot infront of my t.v. for these tests so theres no variation because of that)

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
Maybe; either way i'm glad i'm getting even better signal then I already was; also side note as an experiment i walked down the street with my phone on wifi to see how far it covers; as a rough estimate by using the distance scale on google maps to see how far away it stopped working at was I managed to get to about 50/60 meters away; after that the wifi was still locked but unresponsive

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
Please can some one tell me if you use this super hub just hard wired does it work fine on 100 meg and is it just the wireless it is having problems with.
Many thanks

Well lucky old you. 
Just to balance the equation mine still reboots several times most days and occasionally drops the wireless for no apparent reason.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
I have a VMNG300 which I haven't activated just yet, thought I'll give the SH a reprieve
I usually get around ~70MB via SpeedTest.net however last night..
Repeated the test and it's been great, ~98 / 97 
Wireless isn't too bad (only use the Guest account for visitors), it's no worse then the DIR-615 however I have various APs around the house due to coverage required across four floors.
Uptime has been good so far, no reboots...
Removed the download usage as VM staff hang around so don't want to get into trouble!

I would have blanked out the whole column if I were you. That's clearly a three or four digit number. :P

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
I'm sorry... did I say three or four? I must have been mistaken: I honestly can't tell.
