Wanting to find out if anyone has come across this weird issue that I am experiencing.

I am on Orcon and have a HomeHub which is a Siemans SX763. The router has worked very well for me over the years with no problems.

Last night I noticed that my HP Mini 5101 netbook would not connect to it. I ran a couple tests and discovered this:

1. If I have Super-G mode enabled my HP Mini 5101 netbook will not connect to the wireless
2. If I turn Super-G mode off I can connect from my HP Mini 5101 netbook fine BUT speed is reduced. What I mean by this is: Say I run a download speedtest to one of the local providers, on the netbook I get a max of ~ 1 mb or even 800 kbs. If I run it on any other device I get ~ 18 mb. I had originally solved this issue by just enabling Super-G mode and things worked well up until last night when my netbook will not connect anymore.

Anyone come across something similar? Its completely weird. 

Has there been a firmware update for the HomeHub's that got pushed out?

Cheers

most firmware updates are usually an user initiated update not over the net via ISP or manufacturer

could well be an driver issue what nic does you HP mini use
