thats surprising. i would of thought the hardware had some form of focus point to be smaller or build to fit in a more attractive case. whats the point in having same cases, new shouldnt be an exact same styling of an older product. having said that id take the same shell style for better hardware qaulity etc.

Re: Superhub 2
What leads you to suppose that R37 isn't as borked as the previous versions? Is it stable?

1) when superhub 2 comes out after new year 2013 will all the VM customers get it or do we have to buy it?
someone give more details on this.

VM wont replace all SH1s with SH2s. VM took the hit replacing all older kit already. The SH1 can function even if its not high end. If it doesn't meet the needs of customers then theres modem mode so you can link whatever choice of compatible router you wish. I know someone living in a pretty big house running the SH1 in combo mode with no problems, I don't know how. Bottom line each to their own.
Long answer short yes you'll probably be asked to pay a fee if you request a SH2.

It'll have bugs and room for improvement thats for sure but nothing like what was before. If you compare what was to what is now it is a lot stable.

So presumably they are gonna send out something.

yeah got that myself too. heres hope that we get the SH2 to trial then keep
someone did get a little too excited though sending the first message with no link is that a good sign or just a repeat of something similar to everyones getting 120meg.

In all seriousness the most important question I have is whether shub2 will have modem mode. I know some peeps might think that it doesnt need it but given VMs/Netgears track record with the shub why not edge on the side of caution just in case. They would win some respect if they used their initiative and put it in without us having to beg. Shows they listen and care.
|
The SH1 will get there I suspect. To be honest I don't understand why the firmware problems have taken so long to fix. Whether or not the SH was forced out somethings not right ? We're supposedly talking highly skilled coders or is it really that lone monkey I found.
'My opinion' is that modem mode will be within SH2.

Re: Superhub 2
Just so most people know why who knows what (!!!), the clue to the new SH is through this Googled link: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...wNCshylvA2Dv-w
It's tempting to offer comment - but maybe lessons learned have been applied. Like don't mess with the firmware; don't slug the thing!
When I get my trial box, I'll come off modem mode (after a couple of days) and give the thing a proper run in router mode, though I'll slave the Airport Extreme (Bridge mode) just to do something possibly different from other triallists.

You hope.
I'd like to see a reduced power footprint if operating in modem mode. If it uses more than SH1 it will be a backwards step.

Re: Superhub 2
Huh, another VMDG485. I remember the last one that didn't materialize, based on the exact same information...
Shame they ditched Huawei, though with "N750" wireless it seems a cut above average.

If you go to Start -> Network, the Super Hub thinks it is a VMDG485.

Re: Superhub 2
I hope themry is right I think was a huge design fault to have cables at the large back area, instead of narrow side, think of most small sized electronic devices, phones, routers, modem etc. Think where cable placement is on those devices.
