Virgin Media superhub

[Chrisbes]

Hey, i recently upgraded to 60mb internet with Virgin media and was given a superhub. Over wireless the speed maxes out around 20mb. Does anyone else have any similar experiences?

Do all of your devices support wireless N @300Mb/s? ~20MB/s is about consistant with 150Mb/s wireless N I think.

20 megabits per second, probably 802.11g.

Says its running at 300mb/s (The router)
and yes, my devices are

Got mine today and ide say have a look at what channel its on. They seem to be pre-set at 11 and i put mine on Automatic and it solves many issues

They come pre set on Auto which is not great and neither is 300mbps.

Change it to another channel and change the speed to 145mbps

I read that they are now setting 145 as the default unless you're on the 100Mb service.

Nope default is always 300mbps but any technicians that come to your home to set up the superhub should always change it to 145mbps no matter what service.

300mbps is not stable when connecting to 802.11.n cards so if you want to use 300mbps unless you have your hub sent through the post you have to change it to that yourself
