Superhub : Firmware R37

[Sephiroth]

Good. Watch the T3s - they are an indication of upstream congestion. But they don't matter unless you get T4s. The modem continues to function with data throught a T3 event though web page loading might be slower if there are a series of them in succession.

That's different. I suggest you start your own thread and post both the Dowmstream/Upstream stats, the Neetwork Log and your observation of whether ot not the 54 dBmv is stable or if it goes to 55 and over (by refreshing the screen).

I tried to take part in the R37 trial, but they couldn't get my SH to reboot in order to accept the download.

I hope that when the release candidate is available that problems have been overcome.

I thought most people had the opposite problem, they can't get their Superhub to not reboot randomly!

Does anybody have any actual R37 usage issues?

[babis3g]

What kind of usage issues?

i have not notice any problems with modem mode and the draytek 2850n but if i go to local server for gamershell.com i download with very poor speeds (try the connection download rate) and is flawing from 3-5 MB ...when should be 12MB


even with this not bad monitor today 03/12 is showing me lot jitter at modem mode (tested 12:15pm)

I wouldn't be asking if I knew, Babis!

There's speculation on the VM forums, wthout evidence, that the rollout is suspended for R37 reliability/performance issues in router mode.

The absence of the flood of R37 threads that accompanied R36 suggests otherwise. But the speculation wasn't from an untrustworthy source.

Issue I have with the R37 firmware is ironically logging on to the suberhub, at best it's really slow but typically it just freezes. Getting a lot of T3 errors as well & whilst speed tests give good results overall web browsing experience is a little flakey.

[Sephiroth]

MPH - are these new problems? Not present in R36?

They probably right ...5 ms with a not bad monitor today and 3-5 MB speed this time is not the best

Seph,

Does seem to worse yes, The only consistent way to log on and see what the super hub is doing is to power it off leave for a few secs and restart . Then it seems to ok for a short while. I do find it really irritating, I used to have a N600 Netgear router which was perfect it was left on for months on end without issue.

[Sephiroth]

So - I switched to router mode with the following observations:

1/
Initial issues logging onto the Sh. Once overcome, they did not repeat.

2/
Airport Extreme connected in bridge mode. DS speed > 100 meg; upstream speed c. 1.2 meg.

3/
Moved PC to SH port 2; same poor upstream speed.

4/
Logged onto SH wireless OK; decent 2.4 speed; Changed WPS key; then couldn't log onto SH wireless. Airport Extreme wireless OK.

5/
Reverted to modem mode. Upstream speed immediately jumped to 5 meg.

So perhaps this'll start off other people's R37 observations.

Sephiroth...you should be beta tester you are the man

[General Maximus]

Interesting. Maybe that is the problem they are trying to keep hush hush about

R37
an other day the monitor will not show any major issues with jitter but with R37 and pingtest having jitter with modem mode (tested at 16:30)
