Your opinion only. Mine never drops it's connection unless I switch it off. It performs better then my old router which was a netgear - are they a POS too
Nope only started on the 1st July and if ordered online.
Personally I'd keep the white one as in 3 months time the white hub will still be going but no more black number. Meaning if the hub dies or something similar and needs replaced you would have a white hub and black phone and base.
