Your right I have no idea what im talking about :D

They do some high end stuff, but the same money could get you a lot better IMO

Everything, they are half responsible for the shub disaster.

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

So if there are that many issues with the superhub especially wifi then why haven't VM looked into this as most people use wifi more this day and age than wired connection?

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

I thought the problems are related to software and cheaping out by virgin?

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

they have an upgrade coming soon.

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

because at the end of the day everything revolves around $$$ and VM want a product which they can support 100%. I am sure there is a very good statistic showing that 80% of tech support calls are non-connection issue orientated and VM want to be able to support the routing side of things as well. They did a cheap ass job with the shub, didnt test it properly and rushed it through and there have been no end of problems with it which should have been picked up on prior to general release. They are working their way through them with numerous firmware upgrades but this has been going on for over a year and a half.

This is why you still see many posts on the forum about the shub and new users having wireless issues (unaware of the drama) and many of us being blunt and recommending putting it in modem mode and buying a proper router which you know is going to work out the box as it should do.

i read in VM forum that is coming out this year a new super hub

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

well the main issue is wifi they need to pull this modem out of stock and put it back into beta or alpha testing

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

theres meant to be a second superhub on the scene some time this year, thats about all anyone knows at the moment

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

given the fiasco with the shub I think everyone has lost confidence in them now. Even if it is the best thning since sliced bread, from the shub experience, I would now expect it to be a pile of poo.

Either way, I am still not going to use it, nothing they supply is going to trump my Linksys router.

I went and ordered the N900

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb
 

Just an update. The TP-Link came on Tuesday and had it set up with in 20 mins. Wireless is superb, I'm talking 100% signal strength on the PS3 upstairs and wireless has to go through two slightly thick walls.

The only problem I encountered was it dropping connection very 30 mins or so. It turned out I'd forgotten to select the wireless channel and it was conflicting with someone else's wireless round here. After I'd changed it to channel 1, voila, no more drop outs.

I've also updated it to the lastest firmware as the one in the router was quite old.

So yeah, a big thumbs up from me for £42.
