Mega weird problem with my superhub
 
Recently got sent a new Superhub, as my old one made a rather frustrating high pitched whining sound, Which meant i couldn't leave it turned on.

With the new hub, whenever i have my laptop plugged into the wireless, or by ethernet in port 2, and download over 4mb/s, the router completely crashes.

Should i ask for another new one? :D

crashes? does the SH reboot or dkes it just stop functioning?

have you manually changed wifi channel to one that isnt in use?

download inssider onto a laptop. run the prog. note channels in use.. set your network to use a channel number that isnt in use.

Don't waste your time trying to get the superhub to work. It's wireless is terminally sick.

Get yourself a proper wireless router, stick the useless superhub in modem mode and your problems will be over. :)

Not true at all. Los of people me included have not had a single issue with the Superhub or it's wireless functions.

I suggest requesting a replacement as the first port of call. Then if you still have problems, try modem mode and a seperate router.

Geez! The OP's already had two superhub's that were completely unuseable. :rolleyes:

If you are very lucky you may find a superhub that works however you will find a proper wireless router plus modem mode is a certainty to work.

I gave the superhub every chance in all it's modes. I got the best service with 5ghz/300mbps mode however although I had the 5ghz band all to myself dropouts and reboots continued from several times a day to almost hourly.

Since going to modem mode with an asus rt-n16 router I have enjoyed continuous uptime with absolutely no problems.

I have never been a gambler and would go for the bird in the hand everytime.
