I have been told they are pretty poor

They we complete crap at first, but at least now you can enable modem mode and use it just as a cable modem. Then connect your own cable router of choice.

Not had a problem with 2 of mine (2 houses)
Wireless range and speed seemed fine.

Using one in modem mode with a pfsense router and I haven't had to reboot in months.

it has arrived now, installing it was fine up until the point of going on to the internet. I didn't relies you had to ring virgin to activate it, activating took about 15 mins after speaking to a man who didn't speak very clearly. Other then that the wireless is fine at 2.4ghz and the local network setup GUI is simple. so far happy with it.

Do yourself a favour and just enable modem mode and use your own router/access point.

They were HORRIFIC when first released. I enabled Modem mode as soon as it was available and haven`t looked back.

Never in all my life have I had the misfortune to encounter such piss-poor performance from a `new` piece of equipment.

Superhub!? Really!? Get trade descriptions involved for false advertising! it was truly awful!

I'd say try it first, if it doesn't work reliable you can add a router afterwards and enable bridge mode.
