Not me then - I don't complain about it any more as I no longer care - I just sympathise with those who either have to put up with it or splash out on a cable router which they used to get free from VM.

I never used it to begin with. Nor would I need to have something myself to know it's crap.

I don't have a Toshiba laptop but I know they're wretched and that's exactly why I don't use one. I know fair well simply because of the number of them I keep getting brought in to me to be fixed. As with the Superhub, I'll complain as much as I like. Similarly, you don't have to own or use a terrorist to complain about terrorists.

Yeah - but it's not as if we can't comment on the bleedin' obvious. And it all goes to VM's flawed attitude.

Oi. I do and it's not wretched (opinion)! My Qosmio has run flawlessly for 2Â½ years (fact) and connects night and day (fact) to Virgin Media's excellent (opinion) broadband service.

Other than that, well said. BTW, the engineer came round yesterday and because the current problem has been escalated to Networks, I'm deprived yet again of the SH to replace my flawless (fact) VMNG300.

So many posts on there tho I couldnt find the other sorry.

Seems like he used it to 'troubleshoot' rather than 'engineers are handing them out'

Irrespective, it still didn't fix the problem which seems to suggest that it is a network problem and not linked to the superhub at all.

It's the same whenever they release updates to the xbox, if anyones device fails they blame the update.

I would suggest that alot of problems are being blamed on the hub when they are in fact network issues, it may very well be that the hub magnifies those issues at times. (it tends to focus the mind a little when something changes)

I do find it funny that you have spent months on end (Chrysalis) in this and other threads complaining about the Superhub and you have never used one. Each to their own I guess. I don't mean that in a bad way, i wish i had as much passion about something that does not affect me at all.

I'm having serious WIFI problems since the V30 upgrade. Anyone else or am I alone in this?

Kindle now can't hold a connection with it for more than 60 seconds. Laptop drops the connection every couple of days and doesn't reconnect. Bad when you're trying to use B&S and now they seem to have capped it at 1/4Mbps upload.

thenry · 23-09-2011, 20:59

have you gone through various steps to get it working? channel change, mode matching to the rate your wireless devices can handle etc.

caph · 23-09-2011, 22:26

Thenry, I can't believe I didn't think of checking the channel, it never crossed my mind that R30 would change it. Sure enough it has. It has put me on to a much worse channel - 10 in this case. I've manually changed it back to what it was before R30 (1 in my case) and it is working fine now for the Kindle and I suspect the laptop too.

Thanks Thenry. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you.

No thanks to Virgin who seem to have done their level best to knacker my router (it was a lot more than just the WIFI by the way). On a point score out of 10 VM get -1 from me. On the plus side, short of sending an electricity surge through to my router and exploding the thing, the next upgrade can't be any worse.

thenry · 23-09-2011, 22:38

the famous auto function. i thought you was blasting me at 1 point reading your post. vm get -1? so do i get +10? can i have that in black and white and also recognition of my greatness where you put thenry is the greatest in your user title.

btw if you don't already know about inSIDDer.. install it on a wireless capable device (laptop) and spy on networks and the channels they use.

For goodness sake, don't give them ideas! I'm happy with the service the ntl256 delivers, I don't want them coming up with ways to break it.

Does anyone else find that modem mode is a tad bit slower? I'm using an Asus RT-N16 with DD-WRT firmware and my ping is generally 2ms higher and my download speeds are slightly lower (before it was 5.9MB/s+) whereas now its more variable between 5.2MB/s and 5.7MB/s generally.

Try connecting the Superhub directly to your PC in modem mode. If the speed and ping improves, it's your ASUS router that's slowing you up. If not, try disabling modem mode and running it normally. If the speed and ping are still poor it is likely a fault with your cable connection. If they improve then it must be a Superhub fault.
