How do you make the 2G and the 5G different names?

How do you find the power levels?

At bottom of page click 'check router status' no need to log in, you will find the levels there.

To change the wireless names log in Advanced Settings/Security.

Sorry for the delay the Hub3 rebooted as i tried to log in before!!! ohhhh New firmware has dropped!

... and nobody's been told what's new in the firmware. Or have I missed something?

Was unexpected and we don't know what is in it, did you miss the drop again?

No - I got it this time. Before my very eyes.

Is there not a changelog so we can see what each update brings?

SnoopZ · 22-02-2016, 20:43

Don't be silly - even CPE Firmware Team don't have a publishable fix list.
However as you're VM staff you can easily ring Richard and find out for us?

Question for you: If you're on 16channel D/S have you noticed about 15-20% decrease in ICMP max latency?
Nope - forget that insufficient samples - looks the same for me now...

This is interesting. Is the HUB 3.0 now a standard option on Vivid 200? If it is and you are on the upgraded CMTS kit, can you ring in and buy/haggle for one? I ask because my son is an avid PS4 gamer and if this helps with gaming then it may be worth asking for one.

Also, how can you tell if your line card is Hub 3.0 compatible i.e. has the 16 D/S channels?

You want post #3 onwards, though 12 channel and less will do 200Mbps OK... Not sure though that the new hub with it's NAT/Firewall issues will do what you want any better than the other superhubs

I was going to be really mean and say that you can ring up and haggle if you like...but frankly, no, that's a very bad idea. Unless if you have your own router, then modem mode is perfectly functional.

Recently have moved across to VM from BT and purchased the Vivid 200 service.

Whilst the overall service seems pretty decent and in fact I have even received over 300 Mbit/sec on some days. Unfortunately last night my speed (wired) seemed to drop to around 13-15 Mbits/sec which is a significant and unexpected decrease). In addition to this my experience with the SuperHub 3 has been pretty poor.

Port 4 which happens to also be the only port which works when the unit is in modem mode seems flaky. Sometimes it decides it just wants to be a 100 Mbit/sec port rather than gigabit. I've tried other cables just to check and i've been able to replicate the issue but it can run a day without dropping down to a slower speed.

In addition to the above, the Virgin Hub UI must be the slowest I have ever used. Pages take literally 30 seconds+ to load which seems more than a little extreme. I really can't see how this got out of UAT with that performance. Wifi range also seems fairly poor and my Home Hub was significantly better so I am taking the plunge and getting an R8000 to take over those duties. That said, I need to get the SuperHub fixed so that port 4 does not decide to drop to the lower speed.

Questions:

1. Have other people found the UI of the SuperHub 3 to be as poor as me where pages literally take 30 seconds (sometimes more) to load? I've read on this forum that the hub is slow, but I was not expecting it to be as bad as this.

2. Have others noticed that the propagation performance of the SH3 wifi is poor? Two walls seems enough to pretty much kill the signal.

3. Anyone else noticed port 4 (i.e. the master port) so be flaky? Or has I just ended up with a dodgy router?

4. Does the performance of VM really vary as much as 13-320 Mbits/sec? The dramatic slow down last night (admittedly during 'peak time') was unexpected - personally I would have expected I would have obtained at least 50 Mbit/sec.

As a side note I find the overall 'advanced options' within the SH3 pretty poor. It might be good enough for basic users, but for anyone who has even slightly more requirements, you really are hamstrung by what the SH3 offers.
