Currently not working as inteded here.. Buggy interface, UPnP doesn't work and can't forward ports (well, I can't seem to, anyway..). If your current setup is working ok I would not be in a rush to get one.

I'm on my 2nd day with SH3 after upgrading to 150mbps.

My ping has gone from usually being under 10ms (wired) and under 15ms (wifi) to around 30-40ms in both cases; my download speed is still around 80-90mbps (wired); but my upload speed has increased from ~5 to ~9 meg.

On top of that I tried using the hub as a router but it was painfully slow (we use multiple HD media players around the house) so I've gone back to my trusty £20 tp-link router.

I'm not particularly impressed so far.

I'm just surprised that anybody is surprised.

BTW Welcome Big Dave B. Nice to have you on board.

Upgraded to 200Mb and received superhub.

Was wondering whether I'd get SH 3 or SH 2ac but have actually received SH 2. I'd have thought that they would be issuing 2ac or 3 only now.

I have ac devices which is why I'm posting about this. Anyone know if they'll swap if I contact them? Alternative is a new ac router which I had been considering.

I think if I was offered a SH2 to replace my SH3, I'd take it...

Our SH3 has been a bit crap tonight, wifi dropping in and out, speeds all over the place.

Power levels are still fine, no errors in the log, reboot seems to have calmed it down but my phone is still dropping out, so is my flatmates...

That's debatable. Say that when they take away half your channels. It makes no sense, unless you always get 200Mb 24/7, as bandwidth is distributed across the channels.

Naturally, but that argument can't be used to negate the usefulness of channel bonding.

Correct, but it can be used to negate the usefulness of the SH3 in it's present state.

Depends what you need it for. My SH3 works fine for me, but then I only use it for wifi. If I just wanted it to handle the load better for 200Mb then I'd have one over a SH2ac (probably). For any other purpose that requires something complicated like port-forwarding, upnp etc I'd recommend a SH2ac for now.

Good job I have both plus a shiny new Hitron.

I believe it's a temporary situation.

Where does it say top tier uses will get the SH1? That is after all their oldest model.

Still, surely that's a typo and is meant to be the other way round?

Wondering when they're gonna roll out a decent firmware to us who aren't trialists, but stuck on this buggy version

Any idea what version of firmware VM are installing?
