@ Locky33
The USB slot is not implemented. It's currently dead. Id implemented it would be a USB Host (for media).

To get one, read this thread describing how others acquired them. There are differen stories.

@ Tanny
In router mode, it is not possible to alter the DNS. A repeat VM stupidity/annoyance.

you can get it free from 150 leaving us option connect to retention.
you have to be on 60Mb or 100Mb broadband and they will charge £5.99 for delivery and superhub 2 is free

Better to implement your own solution here methinks.

Absolutely right.

Modem mode.

It's not a fault or a bug, that's quite normal for a lot of routers. All it means is that the SH is acting as your DNS server (that IS the IP of your SH - go ahead and navigate to http://192.168.0.1 if you want. The SH will have its own DNS cache, which theoerically will speed up your network a tad. If you have 3 computers and one looks up facebook.com, the SH will go look it up for you and then cache the result. So when PC's 2 and 3 go to look it up, rather then going to the .com nameservers and then facebook's nameservers to get the same IP as PC 1 found, the superhub just returns it directly.
It's normal and if it was a fault, you wouldn't get lag because of it, you'd get absolutely no web connections at all because you wouldn't be able to look up any domains.
DNS doesn't cause lag, not in game anyway because DNS is specifically for the resolving of domain names and nothing else.

Why does my subnet range seem to change my latency?.

When im on CPC19 im getting latency's between 10-14ms Average around 11/12ms ( Modem Mode )
When im on CPC9 im getting latency's between 15-23 Average around 18ms ( Router Mode )

I also changed the MAC address on my router to the same as the one on the superhub2 and the same thing happens CPC9 high latency

Change it back to a MAC address on CPC19 and back to low MS again.

I dont understand why the subnet range seems to effect my latency, Im on the same damn UBR.

I guess different load levels on the different line cards.

Sephiroth · 15-06-2013, 23:42

Are the channel numbers the same between CPC9/19? If not that's your answer. Different utilisation.

jalzoo · 15-06-2013, 23:47

Not too sure what you mean by channel numbers but i will give you what i was connected to:

cpc19-nrte24-2-0-custXXX.8-4.cable.virginmedia.com

cpc9-nrte24-2-0-custXXX.8-4.cable.virginmedia.com

The CUST number's were both different

My speedtests are pretty much the same whichever one im connected to just the latency that differs.

Kushan · 15-06-2013, 23:54

Does latency actually differ everywhere? What I mean is, where are you pinging to get that latency? Try a few different sites to see if one is always slower.

The channel numbers in your downstream and upstream stats. Your line card supports 16 channels for your optical node. You get allocated up to 8 in your bonding group. The two bonding groups should be evenly loaded, but VM can scew this up if they don't monitor & plan properly.

jalzoo · 16-06-2013, 00:04

Yeah i have done some pretty extensive testing with both using the same servers to ping.

I mostly do a ping hostexample -n 1000

i use:
pingbox1.thinkbroadband.co.uk
bbmax.co.uk
bbc.co.uk

Will take screenshots and then compare the two.

well i get fed up of lag now something is wrong as never had this problem a week ago

here is my stats

The only real difference i can see is on CPC19 i have a higher downstream frequency i have no idea weather that would make a difference?.

what an SW upgrade file
