Hi this is just a quick note to say we've not managed to succefully update your Super Hub with the new R30 beta firmware yet, but we will be trying again over the next week. If you could ensure that your Super Hub is left on during the day this will help us. We'll contact you via private message once we've successfully updated your Super Hub.

Thanks

My software version states; V5.5.2R30

I think it's safe to assume that the firmware team won't be celebrating any eventual future success they may have in a brewery.

Just got a reply from Mark letting me into the beta forum and that the list had an error (I'm now an error

) anywho good reviews in the sub forum.. so far so good. I can only vouch for 5GHz, not gone back to 2.4 or enabled modem mode, everything well here too

bigsinky · 01-09-2011, 16:43

no PM for me and my software is V5.5.2R30. I take it this is the new software in my modem?

thenry · 01-09-2011, 18:03

yeah. post on the community forum > here < they should send you a link via PM.

Anyone care to guess a full release date

thenry · 03-09-2011, 00:03

Now on TP Link 1043 router. I now ger 30/3 service all over house. Something that S/H was unable to do.

I hope this new firmware when it's finally released to the rest of us stops the 1-5 second drop out I keep getting, it's a real pain when trying to Skype or stream music!

The current public release is so poor that they really should roll out R30 everywhere because it's plainly better than the wretched device currently is. Of course that breaks normal system development rules, but then they didn't follow the rules when they rushed out the current rubish.

I acknowledge, by the way, that the rush job may have been forced on VM by the non-availability of the VMNG 300. But then VM could have got a (proven) vanilla hub instead of going to the vain length of putting their badge on a somewhat disreputable device.

Did you sign up for the Beta, or did it come to you via public release. Reason I ask is that I have one of the VMNG300 modems from my old house and I was installed with the superhub yesterday. I must say the VM engineer was absolutely terrible and refused to let me use my old modem. Nothing wrong with it, he just said it was policy to only use the new superhubs. As you can imagine I was a bit peeved. He installed the superhub and wanted to take the modem away (I told him where to go on that one).

I would happily take a working superhub as long as the bridged mode worked as from my experience the wireless is absolutely rubbish on the SH. I have a Dlink DIR655 router and its magnitudes better.

can you let me know as after checking my own version it appears to be r26

Cheers
