I got the 30Mb upgrade a couple of days ago and I started having the same connection problems with wireless that everyone else has. My ethernet was working flawlessly though but couldn't get a wireless connection at all.
I thought connecting my old router would be useless because it wont work without this r28 update everyone is waiting for? However I tried it anyway. I connected my old router to the modem with an ethernet cable and sure enough I had a second wireless network in my house - I didn't expect it to get internet access though.
Much to my surprise - it worked straight away. I've got my 2 laptops on the net at the same time working flawlessly connected to my old router wirelessly. I thought I might have connected to the superhub instead of the old router so I turned the wireless off completely in the superhub settings.
Still working. I didn't update anything and it works perfect. My router is a WNR854T if anyones interested and from the wireless connection I can access the settings page for both the routers.
Is this normal? if so - why is everyone waiting for this bridge mode?
