Vergin superhub is it any good

[tivoman]

are they any good ?

Improved from the initial firmware but the short answer is still NO !

If you must have one then run it in modem-only mode (ie turn off its built in router) and connect it to a proper router

initially i had a nightmare with this.

but now its settled down.
using a Vermin "N" dongle i regularly see high 50mbit with speed test now.

but its still got very weak wifi signal.

to turn off the router use the instruction manual that came with the super hub that will give you the information to turn it to modem only.

go into the router and sign in.
then click the Super Hub settings tab.
scroll down to the "modem Mode" section, and simply click the "Modem Mode" button.

job done!

Sh!t!!!! and always will be, the wifi is rubbish for a start, and the firmware has so many bugs in it.

have a look on the virgin media forums

as far as i know the superhub is the only one they provide, thats why people will use it as modem only and use another router for the wifi connection.

terrible iv had numerous arguments over the phone with them.big rancid piece of steamy shite

Modem only mode for me as well connected to a simultaneous dual band gigabit router. Job done xbox's on 1 wifi band and everything else on the other no more lag online and no more hogging by the xbox

[smirnoff_rules]

dreading getting this crap unit ,,

[happy_highlander]

The guy that installed mine told the missus to pack up the dual band router and take it back to the shop the guy I had come out 2 days later to fix the fault in the line is of the same opinion as us that it works well as modem but garbage as a router especially as vermin are selling it as having 5ghz wifi which it has but you can only use it if you turn off the standard 2.4ghz which everything but newish mid price range kit needs.

not too bad to be honest,had no problems apart from the weak wifi which may or may not connect dependant on if it can be arsed or not,not even had to change channel on it yet.my download speeds are considerably better as well.
