    Cheers for reply m8


    My house is old with thick interior walls!
    I was thinking is there some kind of plugin boosters I could get that will pickup the wifi ?


    I am with VM but use the superhub-2 in modem mode along with my TP-link router so I can CS

    theres yer issue right there the superhub is cack and even i modem mode its cack
    look into dumping your hub onto the older netgear modem that kinda looks like a PS3
    with the curves this can handle 350mbps and will out preform any hub with a decent router :)


    the HUBS are designed to be crap there a joke and still don't work after 40 revisions of firmware !
    there real job is to capture all yer data hence why yah need to actually give vermin yer VPN details
    to be able to use one ;) but you can do the above via haxoware firmware and a true 100% clone will work if stealth ed right
    as long as onlyt the clone is on the network = no more shithub ;)

    Is this the one you mean? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/networking/network-routers-and-switches/routers/netgear-wnr2000-220uks-wireless-cable-fibre-router-10108669-pdt.html?gclid=CMWmtOukxc0CFeYK0wodFtML1w&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!90672904339!!!g!110897023940!&device=m&istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=plwmalawa&istBid=tztx&PLA=1&ef_id=V2@UGAAAAaXxeTfI:20160626083640:s


    Also bud, do I need to get in touch with VM regarding setting it up? As guess they won't be happy??
    Or can I just install it myself & add my router to run alongside it??

    nah its was teh modem ony netgear they used to give out , its more curve to it


    and defo not contact them lol , you will not get any help to clone your sub modem hub to the older style netgear modem ;)
    try underground modems ;) ive not looked into cable for some time but essentially y9ur wanting to dump your superhub and get al certs ect ect from it
    then with the modem (not a router/hub) in the link below as picture you install haxoware to it and the dump/certs from the superhub and as long as y9ou only have the new cloned modem online then
    you will not have a issue ;) never plug in the original sub hub and you will be fine , grab any router you want thats gona be able to serve your needs i find asus are good for coverage but yah can grab old DLINK 615 routers for much cheap and install DDWRT FIRMWARE and set a few up as repeaters via wifi to get just as good coverage on a budget ,they was vermin issued same as modem was before the SUPCRUDHUBS came and destroyed teh wifi on vermin

    Cheers for the reply again m8


    That's s lot for my old head to get around I thinks??
    What's haxoware? & DDWRT m8?


    Cheers


    Haxoware is a custom FW that you can install on certiam modems , this alows you to be able to put the right certs in mac addys into the custom fw modem :)


    DDWRT is again a cutom FW that can be installed on many many many routers , giving you more freedom to use router more efficent and better and also removing the bloatware in restrictions given in stock fw

    • Official Post

    Do you also get random drop outs ?? IE you need to reboot and/or renew ip address ?? If so after a long time of fighting with vermin a man will come round and play with the box at the end of the street.....
    As to your current D/load speed is that wifi or cat6 cable ?

    your router is supported by DDWRT


    Code
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/search.php?mode=results


    the link above will give you info on how to install the custom FW to your TPlink ;)


    be sure to check your rev of tplink modle to ensure you install the best and correct version of firmware


    there is defo something not right with your speeds though , are you using any splitters on the cable network ? if so can you try speedtest without splitters
    and hardwired to if you was wifi before , but you should not be loosing that amount of bandwith !


    i always recomend DDWRT when anyone can uttilize it i find it millions times better and more sable than most stock FW out there and offcourse you can access more features with DDWRT

    The odd occasional dropouts m8 nothing major ? Other than Oscam needing a restart every couple of days on my CS servers
    I use comtrend home plugs not wifi m8, with my PC located in the dinning room & router is in the living room .
