My 50Mb speed is all over the place and the green progress bar on the status bar at the bottom of the page is all jittery and juddery when loading in pages. In a nutshell i'm not impressed with 50Mb but have always had a secure connection on all other tiers i've been on in the past. I've had 50Mb about 2 weeks now and it's still getting no better.

Is there any hints or tips for the optimum settings on the Super Hub to get the best speed out of it. I've had a look in there and it's a minefield of information compared to the old modem.

disabling the firewall and ip flood detection seems to help out most peeps

Thanks. Is that Advanced Settings - Content Filtering - Services - then untick Firewall Features and IP Flood Detection? I take it it's safe to disable them then?

Yes perfectly safe.

Try speedtest.net and see what your speed is.

Optimal setting? Assuming you got one of the dodgy ones, left in it's box and never used. :D

Found this

Replace assigning addresses with working and you've got it in one - about EVERY problem this thing has. ;)

Looks like you received one of the numerous defective Super Hubs. Consider sending it back immediatly.

What is this, where is it in the settings and should everyone change this setting?

Oh. I hope this is a satirical post, not a serious one. :rolleyes:

Notice what happens when I "replace assigning addresses with working" as indicated in my post, which was of the fixed that for you variety.

Its almost like the hub isn't working correctly, the only way to fix was to reboot the hub by switching off and on again.

The funny thing is, all us Super Hub malcontents could easily be silenced with VMDG300s instead of the "Super Hub or nothing" approach. From what I understand, just like the Ambit 250/256 it's a solid piece of kit which runs for months at a time without needing a reboot. Simple, efficient.

Are you listening VM? ;) :D

Yes it is and yes it does. Mine has never needed a reboot unless I've changed router or connected PC direct.

It did need a couple of firmware upgrades by VM to get it to this stage though.

Which makes me dither on whether the Super Hub update will make a big difference like for the modem, or not as much as it should as with the Hub.
