help with superhub

My friend had to call virgin last night they have updated the firmware again (R36) and everyone is having issues with wireless, id ring them make sure you get same story to be honest estimated fix is next Friday.

EDIT: Scrap that google: 'R36 Wireless Issues'

the firmware update reset superhub back to factory settings so if your getting problems with it not accepting ur password put the one thats on the back which is probs "changeme" lol

I have for others, either picked up a cheap router or 2nd hand superhub flashed it with dd-wrt and changed the mac address so that for all intents and purposes its the same router as far as Virmin are aware, and should you need an engineer visit at any point.

Quote from seamouse

if you flash the router with a non vm flash ( for superhub) and a fault comes back out, you will be billed £250 for the router

Which is why you dont flash your router and get an alternative, or another vm superhub and flash that.

Quote from seamouse

all superhubs are owned by vm and even places that sell them are being clamped down on lol

do what i did, flashed the second router lol the dir 615

True, but they are still obtainable, ive got a couple here for an upcoming project.

Something like that yeah.

Its nothing more than the fact, that once iv done it that's it, time to try something else.

It doesn't look that difficult anyway, 220MB isn't fast (ofc it is, but not compared to what is available) virgin do 1GB lines now, but I would imagine you would need a mortgage with that bill.

Had the hub for 6mths after been forced to take it for a free upgrade this peice of hardware has not worked correctly since its release , i forced vermin to remove there faulty equipment via sales of goods act as amended 1979 fit for purpose you have to have lodged a complaint within the first 6mths of receiving and had a further 3 more to invoke this act , now you have to go threw alot of twats ti get to the CEO dept and force em to remove it

i just told em straight look yer shit no work in suppose ti be a superhub in if i wany working wifi i turn igt into modem only aye ryt then thats fit forpurpose get 2nd router in use that for wifi hmmmmm
ok so they will say nothing to xchange with hmm ok then mr vermin CEO let me be crystal clear there is 3 options for u 1 replace it with ambit300 move bk ti dir615withDDwrt and we sorted
2 ill buy a ambit300 from fleabay in u snd the hit and support it
3 ill go buy a ambit300 , clone the hub n use the abit u wonty have a fcuk clue wits im usin as ill have my stock modem insitu but not on and just pull power in swap if u come round , also not im not stupid and would be in breach of contract and several laws that im sure you would want to charge me with but be aware ill take it ryt on the chin as ill be inviting newscorp to highlight that yer own substandard equipment has to be cloned n put back a few years old equipment to work properly and therefor fit for purpose in off course ill tell em exzactly how its done and ill make enough noise about it more poeple will know there is a way out from yer slashed shite only to get vpn n ddns away from end users !

now it worked for me on ambit300 with DIR615DDWrt all provided by vermin and still on 120mg anah there hub is worthless n after wit36 fw updates yah still come up wanting

i turned my super hub into modem only then used my own router ??? thats the only way i could get it all running right

Its the firmware R36, if you can survive or have a seperate router and want a new hub put it in modem mode, 9 times out of 10 they wont come back out, look on virgin forums people QQing like crazy

Virgin are sending me my second in a week ;)

Only problem I have is jtaging/downgrading em, need to find a tutorial, found the tool to do the job on flea bay for about £20, then I can do some research
