You're a star, that's fixed it! Thank you! - Now let's just hope it stays that way.

Since you have R30 firmware I strongly recommend you use modem only mode with your own router. That's what I do and its been rock sold!

In my opinion, the superhub is not fit for use as a wireless router!

Aye, you're not the only one to recommend modem only mode to me.

I would go down that route but the range on my other router is absolutely shocking.

Glad to hear it mate, its probably the most common issue I deal with these days. What I don't understand is why they don't either provide these hubs with channel 6/11 as standard with a selectable auto function, or provide a channel switch on the router. Surely it cant be that complicated.

I've been stalling gong up to the 30 of 50 meg service for ages because of the superhub issues. Is the modem mode that you guys mention a standard feture or only available in certain circumstances? For the moment I'll stick to the 20 meg on my old modem.

Mind you, compared to the piss-poor service I got on several ISPs running over nasty 1950s BT cable, Virgin is a dream, warts and all. BT engineer gloomily told me they didn't have enough good cables going back to the exchange, so they just played switcharoo with good / bad cable as job tickets came in. It was a lottery week to week whether you'd get broadband at all. Great...

modem mode is on the r30 series of firmware, available to all mate

wireless is a good deal better now too, not perfect, but better
