Put it in modem mode and use your DIR-615.

so if i want 100-120mb its best to buy a another router and not bother even trying the superhub, if thats the case whats best for range ect for about £100

Thanks Lee

Linksys E4200 or EA4500 ;)

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

Thats how i have my shub setup and i have no issues :tu:

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

My DIR615 is running DDWRT what sort of speed do you get from yours wireless

Thanks Lee

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

your DIR615 will do you in the short term dude but you really need to be looking at a new router. Under no circumstances should you use the shub in router mode. If you want to do yourself the biggest favour ever and save yourself a great deal of time and hassel you will put it in modem mode and buy yourself a Linksys router. There are various models to choose from and what Craig has suggested above are the top of the range models which you might not need. It looks like they have changed the range about. Something like this should be perfect for you and is a bargain at £65 because it was £100 a couple of weeks ago when I recommened it to someone.

Lots of features but the most important thing for you is that it has got gigabit ports and simultaneous dual band which is great. Run n and g at the same allowing all your laptops, mobile phones etc to get connected at their maximum speed.

I have always used Linksys routers from day 1 and never had a problem with any of them. They have always been rock solid, reliable and delivered great performance.

With a £100 budget, the E4200 or EA4500 are perfect

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

sorry, missed the £100 bit, you defo want the E4200, it is la creme de la creme and you'll be mocking all the ming mongs who come onto the forum with shub problems telling them exactly what I have told you; do yourself a favour and buy a Linksys router because they are awesome

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

yeah, or the EA4500 which is higher specced

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

Thanks for all your advice gentlemen i will go and order an EA4500 then and save myself a lot a time and effort, any recommendation of a supplier or will a Google search suffice.

Again thanks
Lee

Amazon looks the cheapest so far. You want to get it from a reputable retailer and not somewhere you have never heard of.

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

Wow £108 is a bit overpriced for a "N900" router...

Re: Superhub Install or Not?
 

not really

especially if you consider the specs of it
