has it been pushed to your SH? whats been mentioned within the private sub forum so far by those running the newest firmware?

Not been pushed to my hub yet, latest posts im seeing are saying the 5Ghz connection is now stable but apparently the range is very poor.

thenry · 24-08-2011, 22:17

Has R30 destroyed the range or is it the flimsy hardware? I'm receiving low range from a distance on R26 which is sort of acceptable as speed tests show I'm getting just below half my bandwidth. Doesn't 5GHz run better when the two devices are far away from each other?

jb66 · 24-08-2011, 22:19

The 5ghz being poorer for range has nothing to do with the superhub. Its due to the fact it's a higher frequency, also 5ghz can't penetrate Walls as good as 2.4

On most devices, yes. In theory however, 5Ghz is allowed to transmit at 10 times higher power than 2.4Ghz (up to 40x outdoors) so it more than makes up for it - on decent equipment, which the Superhub is not.

Right now there's a lot lower usage of it too so less interference from neighbours.

They should have been doing that a year ago.

I haven't been part of any beta but have put myself down for R30. Do they normally upgrade during the night or day? Anyone reckon R30 test will be rolled out tonight?

jinxed · 25-08-2011, 20:39

From one of the staff replies i don't think the rollout would be tonight, probably next week. When they updated to r29 it was done during the afternoon.

thenry · 25-08-2011, 20:47

Thanks mate. Confirmation of when its going to start will be announced by the end of the week, so tomorrow? Hurry up VM!!

Anything new been mentioned in the private sub forum?

jinxed · 25-08-2011, 21:02

Only thing mentioned is that they are hoping it will be sent out next week to beta testers.

kwikbreaks · 26-08-2011, 15:39

During the first round of testing before I gave up on the Superhub it was always pushed on a Friday afternoons but I'm pretty sure that was because they had status meetings on Friday mornings. Maybe this afternoon?

Still no update from Mark Wilkin over on the forums - depressing.

thenry · 26-08-2011, 16:56

One more customer over on the community posted hes got R30 pushed to his SH today.

mrselfdestruct · 26-08-2011, 17:05

Thing is, the people who have had R30 pushed to them today, are they existing beta testers for R29, or are these folks who only signed up for the new call for beta testers the other day?
