Unfortunately 54G has its limits. You'll need a Wireless N access point connected to an Ethernet port or a modern router.

Torrents completely crash this thing.
I'm using the same settings as I was using with the router, but it now becomes impossible to load a web page with uTorrent running.
Time to implement the workaround to get my Linksys involved again.

Is that when your uploading at the full 1Mb? Cap your upload to half and try that

I am assuming the USB 'N' Adaptor comes with this? Can anyone find out what sort of speeds it transmits data?
Man of Honour
Free N adapter with VM? lols 
I have an N adapter somewhere, will test and post speeds tonight.

No it was capped at my old upload rate of 768kbps. Besides the issue is that it cripples browsing for ages after I've closed the blummin thing down! I can understand it doing it whilst torrenting when no bandwidth limits have been set, by why on earth is browsing affected for such a long time afterwards?

Does anyone know if I can use the Superhub for wireless clients and my router for wired clients? I want my phone to retain access to 30Mb speeds, something that my Linksys cannot provide over wireless.
Soldato
If you're doing the DMZ trick then you could enable the DHCP and Wireless on the superhub for your phone to connect to, but it would effectively be a different network to the router and wired clients I think?
To be honest I'm not entirely sure how it would work LAN wise when connecting the LAN port of the superhub to the WAN port of your router? As your router would still have a local IP from the superhub you'd be able to interact with that but whether that'll then get blocked on the router I'm not sure?

Thanks I've seen your reply in the other thread too, I'll look into that tonight.

No problem
Tried altering you conncetions and globals?
Caporegime
Not yet, but with the same settings yet more bandwidth I don't see why that should be required (I'm assuming you meant within uTorrent).
Yeah,
My old sky router would seed away without problem.
But when I upped the connections it fell over even when uploading relatively little

Any luck?

Oh yeah
I saved screenies but shut the laptop down lol I connected a Realtek RTL8188S USB Wireless-N dongle which connects at Half N speeds (150Mbps) and this was the result:
That's on an old Acer laptop with an Athoon64 and 1GB RAM on Win7 x64 so the USB card is relying on the CPU.
So your full 300Mbps N connection will more than cope with 30Mb/50Mb.
As for comparison, wired:

Very interesting. What's in the way of the laptop and the router out of interest?
I am assuming the router does 300mbps and I need a 300mpbs card?
Apparently the router comes with a Wireless 'N' USB adapter. See here:

From your own link:
"How much does it cost?
New and existing customers:
£30 with 10Mb broadband or 30Mb broadband
Free with 50Mb broadband or 100Mb broadband"

My router is downstairs BTW, the LT was upstairs so there's quite a bit of wall and flooring.
..well i phoned Virgin to upgrade to 30MB and the new Hub is coming on the 25th. Strange thing is my speed seems to have increased already with my existing modem/router ...
