[Kymmy]

thenry, check to make sure that your email isn't bouncing and is still current

Sorry Kymmy, I didn't realise.

[thenry]

got it

19th June‏

EDIT as you posted that you had it before I sent

Should the thread title be altered to R36 now? It would seem that R35 is a dead duck

[Kymmy]

Title altered

Your face is a dead duck.

R35 was our last hope. Our lord and saviour.

I got the email too, 19th, this is the first time I've beta tested something (for VM), so should be interesting.

RIP Superhub, for it will never receive the R36 firmware it has been accepted to BETA test.

No more shall i see your bright UV light illuminating my room in the dead of night, though the FRAGILE sticky tape i used to cover it up kind of killed two birds with one stone.

All have lifetime prosafe warranties

People here are quick to assume netgear is completely at fault here,

But it could be entirely possible the original netgear base firmware in fact didn't have many bugs and was tested properly... But that it is vm stripping bits out, adding bits in, tweaking it here and there to suit their requirements that has made it unstable in some ways.. Ok the wireless range isn't great, and it's a cheap bit of hardware... But again it was not cha choice of vanity that brought about the shape... Netgears stock product looks completely different.. And without an original to compare aide by side, it could well be vm grinding down the price which has also led to cheaper components being used, and rubbish cheapie internal aerials etc

I have to says I have bought Netgear stuff fo home and work and the firmware is always flaky. the business stuff is better but mainly because it does not change so often and therefore eventually gets fixed.

[thenry]

is everyone set for the upcoming R36

[adzzzbatch]

Oh yep!

Brace yourselves, recline and think of England (awful misquote I know). We'll find out in due course. How long is this trial scheduled to last? They have a month to prove that it's a proper fix or we will be very unhappy. VMNG300 will be the only resolution

they have had enough time to bum around with this one so if it doesnt work they are going to look like a right bunch of muppets.
