Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
I got the new package yesterday
On Ethernet I get 167 meg but here is the problem
On wifi even sat next to the superhub I get less than 1meg on speedtest.
In back room I get nothing as the signal must be really weak.
The box the guy took away worked perfect and I used to get about 47 meg on wifi in back room.
What is up with the superhub 2 and wifi
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution
It is 5.0 Ghz and 2.0 GHZ and messign about switiching either on or off has no effect
Crap wifi on Samsung and iphone phones.
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
Have you changed channels on the box to see if that makes a difference? Alternatively get a powerful wifi router and put the hub in modem mode.

I have the superhub 2 and find it much better than the SH1. Similar wired speeds to you and getting 50-60mb via wifi depending on where in the house I test.
I agree with muttley there must be a channel conflict of something causing such a slow down in speed.

Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
I wouldn't use my superhub for Wifi.. my trusty Asus 66NU gives me great wifi and has a megabit WAN side interface
to maximise on the "over 100Meg" bandwidth.
I leave my superhub in modem mode
supe
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
i have a sh2 and found it to be an unreliable piece of crap
ive changed channels etc and really regret having changed to virgin
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
wifi on my superhub is slow. I really should invest in some homeplugs really
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
I have to say my SH2 is pretty good. I even ditched my Apple Airport Extreme because the sh2 was better.

Exactly the same as I do, had any problems with the 5GHz wifi on your N66U? Mine seems very flakey I use the Tomato firmware?
Cheers
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
hmm conflicting replies
some say its good - other say its crap
ive changed the channels and I still cannot get higher than 1 meg speed out of wifi
Ethernet is fine - no problems there - its just wifi
I may have to go in modem only mode and add a decent router
shame really
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
kk I managed to sort this out
I had to switch the superhub into modem only mode and then reboot the modem.
Then I switched back to normal superhub mode and it worked fine.
Not sure why but something must of been dodgy
anyway on my phones I am getting 53mbps - on the main computer im getting 153mbps
Is this correct for the speed or should I be getting more on the phones or are phones limited to a certain speed ??
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
I get slow wifi on the 2g and 100meg on the 5g side of the modem. It's odd when adding things such as a Roku 3. it doesnt see it.
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
not as super as its made out to be :)
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
not had a problem with mine im on the 100 meg deal which i get hardwired no problem on my wireless set up it sits around 95 meg on the 2.4ghz setting
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
As above, just use mine in modem mode.
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
The firmware is better now as the first versions of SH were abominable but yes ... modem mode is the way to go because the
inbuilt router is very limited
supe
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
There's also the risk with wps where even turned off its not actually off.
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
this is pissing me off now
ive reset hub and im getting less than 1 meg on wifi
Hard wired is fine
Im using Speedtest on my S4 to test wifi
Why am I getting so little - what has gone wrong
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
Re: Wifi and Virgin superhub 2
same ere
anyway I ran the superhub in modem mode and stuck it though a router (DLINK)
on internet speed hard wired im now getting 82 meg maxs
on WIFI im now getting average 5 megs
What the hell is up with this this crappy SUPERHUB
gonna ring virgin tomorrow as its been one prob after another - no good if cant use wifi around the house.
Annoying aint the word
