So I have just received my Ultra hub. First off annoying that it only has 2 ethernet ports, a big downgrade when since the dawn of time isp provided internet routers have always had 4.
Anyways, I have numerous smart devices around my home, blubs, leds, fans, plugs etc. These all run at 2.4Ghz. On the old Vodafone gigafast router, I could simply turn off 5Ghz, just use 2.4, connect all my smart devices then turn 5Ghz (and now 6Hz) back (or split wifi). Now though, the split wifi option has been removed and because I have this "super wifi" running, all options on the router are greyed out (for wifi settings) and you just see the message
"Super Wi-Fi is running your Wi-Fi settings. Please use the Super Wi-Fi tile in the Home Broadband App to manage your settings"
Well that's as useful as a chocolate teapot, the Super wi-fi tile simple shows you a network map, nothing more, no option to configure networks, no option to disable.. Just let me turn the bloody thing off!
In you quest to try and make things as simple for non tech savvy people you have created a frustratingly restricted device.
p.s a factory reset of the device doesn't even turn off "super wifi". logging onto the router directly after a factory reset still says
"Super Wi-Fi is running your Wi-Fi settings. Please use the Super Wi-Fi tile in the Home Broadband App to manage your settings."
Even though the app doesn't show it as configured. Wifi compatibility option is again useless, just displayed WP3 and 6Hz
Had the service less than a day and all ready I want to throw the lot on a bonfire!
