depends if he was given it by Virgin media or via 'a friend' - it will need to be activated by a Virgin engineer but speaking as one with knowledge the hub is unfortunately a giant POS that's the bane of many users lives - just read the Virgin media forums to see what I mean :(

If Virgin Media provided him with it, assuming they did since they're upgrading everyone's area. Just plug it in and it'll work fine - if you have faults, it's the crappy modem, try upgrading the firmware.

If provided by a friend, it won't work, Virgin stop you switching modems with people I believe.

The SuperHub sucks, but yes, chances are that it will work. I got a VMNG300 from a friend that was upgraded to the SuperHub and they transferred it to my account. No problem what so ever. I've heard many stories of that not being the case, though, so I might have gotten lucky.

Technically if it wasn't issued to you by Virgin Media then you shouldn't plug it in as A you are not allowed to plug unauthorised items in to the cable socket on your wall. I know it is a Virgin Superhub but unless send from them it is not authorised and B if it was someone else' it will probably have been disabled on the Network now. If you want to upgrade to a newer modem your best bet if just give them a call and say your modem is having problems. Usually they will run a few tests then send a new one in the post.

If you get a superhub, don't use it, the old modems they supplied are capable of 100mbs and the routers inside the superhub make a virus ridden Windows ME computer look stable

Not sure what modem you're talking about, but if you mean the ambit 2050 ones then no, they're capable of 20Mbps

Ironically one of my reasons for leaving VM business was that if I wanted an upgrade, they forced you to have the superhub, you couldn't use your own router or anything, it HAD to be a superhub, and I told them I didn't want wifi or anything and they said 'NO, its a requirement'. Oh well, smart move I guess, gonna be paying ?5/month less, having no traffic shaping/limiting AND having 6 times faster internet, not a bad deal! :)

There's an option in the superhub settings to use it as a modem only, no need to use the router functionality of it at all.

Not sure what your talking about. The VM Superhub works very well, I've had no problems with it and got mine a few months ago.

It is a pile of turd even in modem mode from my experience.

Your experience does not resemble mine then, had zero problems with it. Have you tried it with the latest firmware? V5.5.2R30 ?

I have the latest firmware and can safely say mine is not that good, wifi issues, required reboots and only had it a few weeks. But it is fast :)

I was told that its amazing last night by friends and the fact i cant setup WPA2 and my Galaxy S2 phone is my fault and not the Superhub. Anyone had any luck setting it up with Galaxy S2 ? Ive only had it a few days but try as i may i couldnt set it up unless it was set to WEP, which is a no no.

R30 is almost a year old and still buggy. Are you using your Superhub in modem mode or as a modem/router? Try some heavy usage over wireless with up to 300Mbps mode and I'm sure you will run into trouble.

can't you use it as a modem only and use your own router?

I can't belive, also that NETGEAR made the thing! VM must have done something to **** NETGEAR off or they botched it with thier crappy firmware!

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
