Re: Virgin Media "upto 60mb" - apparently you HAVE to use their superhub router?
 

Haven't done any of this since the change so will do it before I use utorrent again, cheers.

I will also change the channel tonight and re-boot the hub.

So does anyone know of a good router to use so that I can ditch the hub's wireless?

Yeah give it a go, depending hat version of utorrent you are running you can run the tests separately.

Do the ports first and get that sorted, then once that is done run the speed so it tracks the optimum.

I used to have to actually go in and manually forward ports on my old virgin router and belkin but the super hub seems to work ok once utorrent is set

there is a new VM superdud being user tested at the moment. It still isn't perfect.

Background, VM introduced the knobbled netgear hub as a response to users who wanted to do more than plug a single PC into a modem and expected VM to provide them with tech support for hardware/installs they knew nothing of.


My own advise. use the hub in modem mode. Install a decent throughput nat router/firewall. (mine will happily cope with > 600Mb) and put your own network behind that.

You do not need to use the superdud as a router. But you need either a VMG 300 or superdud 2 to get VMs cable service at a reasonable speed. Then shove an 802.11ac router to give the a reliable wifi element of the superdud

Recommends on a good home router? ie easy to set up/maintain, quick and reliable? :)

Just ordered a Cisco Linksys E3000 as a few cable/digital forums highly recommend them. The other option was an ASUS RT-N66U but they'ms a bit expensive for my pocket!
