Thanks. I've just done as suggested, and it does seem to me that the issue is with the Asus router as it seems fine connected directly to the PC. I'll have a fiddle with the settings to see what I can do. One thing I wasn't sure about was if 'STP' needed to be enabled or disabled and what the MTU should be.

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.

Wait, are you trying to say I have never used a superhub?

I havent posted here for months, I took a break from it.

Not only have I used one but I am a beta tester for the firmware.

Are you now on a stand alone modem or have you moved back to the shub ?

Chrysalis · 24-09-2011, 09:12

Right at this moment I am back on the vmng300 as current testing has finished and for 'me' the vmng300 is still a superior device.

No sorry I was referring to qasdfdsaq who stated they had never used one

Eh? Didn't you name Chrys specifically in regard to that comment?

Anyway, who (among the technically savvy community at least) needs to have used a SH to recognise a wretched device that has taken VM nearly a year to sort out and is still lame in the router features department?

I, for one, am relieved not to have suffered from the SH's blight.

My superhub's honeymoon with R30 seems to be over.

Rebooting has started again.

It seems that as a router it is still rubbish.

Time to try out modem mode now.

Very informative Ben this made me look around a bit....

So I guess this WiFi certificate is also not a fake?

Huawei's version of the Super Hub

Some interesting info:

Certificate Date: July 22, 2011
Company: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Product: Super Hub
Model/SKU #: VMDG485

Is it worthwhile that the Huawei certificate also states:

Optional 802.11n Capabilities
- Short Guard Interval
- Greenfield Preamble
- TX A-MPDU
- STBC
- 40 MHz operation in 2.4 GHz
with coexistence mechanisms
- 40 MHz operation in 5 GHz
- HT Duplicate (MCS 32)

and

Special Features
....
- Internal Registrar
- External Registrar

Seems like the Huawei is already a more advanced device? At least it was in July

What an excellent first post from HuaweiHank! "At least it was in July". Very perceptive seeing as the VM dudes on the forum have said that the two SH's will be indistinguishable from each other.

As most of you know Hauwei will also be producing he S/hub for VM. They however, have certification for their version.
Makes you wonder.
Huawei device is called the VMDG485.
Take note (especially Peter!) it has a different model number so it looks like rather than another manufacturer producing to the same spec it will be different.

AndyCalling · 24-09-2011, 23:22

That doesn't mean alot. When the Netgear version was sent for certification it probably had an early firmware on it that gave just enough to pass whilst disabling features which were still being worked on. The Huawei version will have had a later firmware whilst being certified enabling things that are now available on the Netgear version.

The devices will be the same design. We know this. They will use the same firmware. We know this. They will source their components from different places for resiliency purposes, we can guess that will be the case. Which components are most stable? Who knows, though Huawei don't usually do well at build quality.

The feature set will be the same though. So we are told. I see no advantage in VM creating problems for themselves by giving people a reason to moan about getting a specific version when VM can't provide any specific version to a requesting customer.

Don't read too much into the certificates other than it meets a certain feature set at the moment the certificate was issued.

Calm down, yes I did quote Chrys (in error) and I said sorry.

What's with this calm down?

Skie · 25-09-2011, 00:13

That Huwai superhub cert also mentions Dual Band. Hmm! I wonder if this will be the one businesses get?
