100M VMNG300 92Mbit limit - Page 6

Were they? I thought the standard non-Super Hub was being distributed last year at the same time as the VMNG300 was still being provided.

Either way, in general I meant the other way round - network infrastructure is often based on two different vendors so failure of one vendor's equipment would not cause the entire network to break. See for example LINX, who run two separate networks for resiliency, specifically using two different vendors' hardware. End-user CPEs are rarely critical bits of infrastructure

The second Superhub appears to have been quietly shelved ( allegedly ) so please never mention it again.

I'd totally forgotten about that. Looks like the quiet shelving actually worked.

yeah it got scrapped because the wireless was crap....

well at least huawei did a good job of making an equivalent to the netgear superhub lol

well the upstream channel my vmng300 locks onto appears to have not so bad utilisation again so I am tempted to switch back again.

My guess is in raw processing capabilities the vmng300 could probably handle higher speeds than the superhub, although the superhub has modem mode now it still has to do more with that than the vmng300 has to with its data. Of course the superhub tho does have the 8 channel limit but thats a software limitation on the vmng300 with its 4 channels.

great, lets get it fixed and up to 8 channels and then we'll have yet another piece of equipment which makes the shub look not so super.

Never going to happen as they look on it a defunct piece of kit and want you on the Superhub.

I look on the Superhub as a defunct piece of kit and want the Uberhub.

Exactly, they can get the vmng300 upgraded to 8 channels quicker than it has taken them to fix the shub (and they are still at it)

As I posted above they would be very unlikely to get anyone writing any firmware for that device as it is no longer in the inventory and it may not even be possible.

The cost alone would prevent any such investment as it could not be justified to the board for what is now an essentially obsolete piece of kit no longer being manufactured.

It may not be possible with a firmware upgrade, however if it is the cost would be negligible.

It may not cost a great deal but can anyone see them actually bothering when they have the Superhub as the device of choice for everyone.

Ah, but how much money is the Superhub actually saving, quantitatively? It must be someone's job in VM to work that out and I hope for his/her sake he's as good at bending the truth and liberal interpretations of "everyone" as VM's marketing department...

It must be ok so far as it is now the default device d not being built by a generic company, I expect time will tell.
