Homeport Issues & new Super Hub from Virgin

[stockhausen]

Go for 500Mbps rather than 200.

... So..... been doing a little more homework and am wondering if these would be okay:

Those devices are 200Mbps. Personally, I would advise you to go for the 500Mbps (Gigabit) ones (TP-Link AV 500 Gigabit PowerLine HomePlug Adapter Ki). They cost about £15 more; they aren't Gigabit but will offer much better speeds.

thanks.
I think you're right. I probably do need to spend a little more, was kinda hoping to not have too.

My thought is that if you were happy with the LAN setup before VM swicthed their old modem for a SuperHub would be to simply put the SuperHub into modem mode and connect it to your router as before ... that's what I did. Given all the reports of problems with superhubs I'd delayed getting one for as long as possible - never took the 20->30Mb XL upgrade and only caved in when the move to 60Mb was coming in and also modem mode was available.
