100M One week on with 100Mbit on VMNG300 - Page 2

22-06-2011, 19:11

Well I had R27T2 firmware pushed to my 'Super Hub' today and I stuck it in Modem Mode within 2 minutes, let's see how it goes

(advised no more stock of VMNG300 left btw)

The damn thing spontaneously REBOOTS ITSELF several times most days. Patience or Windows has nothing to do with it.

Does it do it when you visit particular websites or is it sporadic? when I was on BT the home-hub would restart its self if I uploaded photos to image-shack but was OK. with nearly everything else

Don't mean to be rude, but my point is that I've pushed the VMNG300 and my router to try to make them fail, they haven't had an easy week. Over 2.5tb of WAN data over wireless in one week (so not counting LAN traffic over wireless), you have moved 117Gb in 38 days!

If you tried to move that much data over wireless on the superhub it will probably reboot...

You're such a lightweight

is that what they stated R28 would be or is this another one before R28 is released?

They did state the next release was R28

This is pre-release, I assume a work in progress before the official version. All I know is Modem Mode and my own networking kit back in play is a joy - but I still would have preferred a vmng300 back from them

Welshchris · 23-06-2011, 01:27

has the latency issue that a lot of people were having with the Hub dropped?

Who advised you that the was no more VMNG300 modems left if you don't mind.

That "Transmit rate 145" may have a lot to do with it staying up for more than a few days at a time. Mine was much more stable in 145 mode but it means network transfers are intolerably slow. Of course if you only have the one machine on the network in the same room as the hub it would probably be OK.

No; thats the speed that my wifi card maxes out at; its on 300 MB on the hub

this is a 2+ year old laptop

Ah. My laptop supports 300Mbps and doing a large network transfer using it fails (I checked it with a TrueImage backup). After it fails the only way to reconnect with any WiFi device is to reboot the hub. I have had the same thing when set to 145Mbps but that may just be the number of different wireless clients (mostly smartphones) or something else entirely.

So it looks like yours didn't need rebooting because you haven't subjected it to any significant load over that period. That probably goes some way towards explaining why others are complaining and you aren't.

I know the superhub has WiFi issues. I've no idea what causes the random self-rebooting reported by some people though.

Maybe; i'm buying a new mac mini to use with my tv in a couple of months and i'm pretty sure that does 300 mb/s wifi so ill report back then

also no idea if this is any use to you

It seems to be completely random. It even does it when no computers are switched on.
