That would set our minds at rest
I also need it so I can run a custom time machine. I can do it now with smb, but it does not auto mount. If the SH2 has AFP then I can turn it in to a full fledged custom time machine!

Re: superhub 2

There's obviously more to the AFP question than I'm comprehending as SH2 is protocol agnostic in that context?

FWIW I run both my Mac's wirelessly to my DS411J NAS via AFP and use Time Machine. Here's a log while I was testing with SH in router mode:

Thanks, Horse. Saves me having to set up something similar.

You're welcome…. but remember this was only on a limited RouterMode trial of basic released R19 (as stability was subsequently questionable due to other reasons - so I'm back in ModemMode awaiting T9,V21…V23 et seq) and thus we still have further Test patches and point f/w releases LIKELY in next couple of months so it may not necessarily hold true thru remainder of trial!

That said I'd still expect Router Mode to remain protocol agnostic with only temp/existing blocks on NetBios/NetBeui ports(for historical reasons) if attempting to CIFS/SMB route via WAN which is ultimately nowt to do with "SH2" per se.
Additionally (noting the OP's comment on SMB usuability) if the OP is using Mac Intel OSX 10.5 upwards on local lan then CIFS/Samba should also "automount" using inbuilt CLI script functionality anyway…. so as far as my initial limited testing goes with my specific NAS equipment then all of AFP,CIFS/SMB and NFS should all basically function via wireless/SH2 anyway.

However as stated(mine was a cursory test) so it does need more samples/intensive testing from other users to at least corroborate CIFS, NFS protocols in more detail.

It doesn't specifically say blue LEDs and not others

Anyone overly concerned by the article could simply refrain from staring at their modem's blue LEDs for hours on end.

Re: superhub 2

Does it have proper port forwarding that enables to to open one port say 1234 but forward it to an IP but a different port like 21, 3389?

^^ Better security imo for protecting against hackers scanning known ports

If you're doing that for security, then why not just change the port on the service you're running? I.e. run your FTP off of port 1234 instead of 21 in the first place.

Re: superhub 2

I know about that way, but its far easier if the router does it as standard. Most half decent 'other' routers can manage to offer this as I don't think its anything that might add cost in hardware terms, its only a bit of code to the routers firmware.

Re: superhub 2

I'm not sure if this has been answered. Can you add static routes on the SH2? This feature seems to be locked down on the SH1. I have SH2 in modem-only, so I can't be sure without changing back.
