I have a Linksys AM300. The is the worst modem/router I ever had. It freezes up within 6 hours of running p2p apps, and features are weak.

Stay away from this modem at all costs.

hehehehe yes u right,
now i use this modem with bridge mode,
and connect to my wifi router,
keep dc again,

i was planning to get this modem,after i came across this thread now i have doubts,any alternative for suggestion?

alrite...i had enuff....im gonna try to ask the person about tis problem and izit possible to rma since its less its bought last year september...

I try to install the USB driver and connect my modem using USB, but the USB lights doesnt appear at all...
when i check in derivce manager, there is a yellow queston mark on the USB port....and when i try to update the driver, it says INF invalid, anybody have any idea how to conenct using USB?!?!?

dont ask me why i didnt use the LAN cable, because another computer is sharing this connection....

what version of windows u use??

try to using another port ??

okay, that problem is solve, i just didnt follow the intructions while installing the USB driver....

now comes the major problems same as other members here....
after changing from D-link to this modem, it keeps disconnect after say for 2-3 hours! any suggestions how should i set this modem to the best settings?

that the suck of this modem...
but you can try to update firmware..
latest firmware..


i'm not try yet..
but the latest firmware is availabe...

already upgrade to version 1.19.02 but still occurs! and makes things worst!!!!
now my bitcomet got problems with that

so it's still have a problem??
that's why i'm not using this modem anymore

hmm, my linksys AM300 using PPOE hang now and then but clocking total download speed of 128-130kB/s (streamyx) with Bitcomet 0.98. well, i guess the modem hung due to too much traffic from bitcomet. maybe need to firmware update.

use latest firmware 1.19.04, no problem for me at all running pppoe,
even on older firmware i have no problem, just tat u need manual config instead of using the cd's auto setting which is too noob and unreliable.

here's what i suggest:

use firefox instead of IE7, dunno why IE7 hangs on thier site and cant update the bios smoothly. Hence i use firefox browser.

download latest firmware here
http://www-my.linksys.com/servlet/Satellit...a#versiondetail

reset the router,


in network card set manual ip,
default gateway use the router's home ip(default 192.168.1.1)

set streamyx DNS 202.188.1.133 , 202.188.0.5

Log in to router's home config via firefox,(default 192.168.1.1)

go to Adminstration/firmware update and update the bios

wait for the process bar to complete , once the router is auto rebooted, u can manually set the port forward for torrent. for me i use DMZ for my torrent pc's ip, fors wonder but no firewall only. only other ip connect to the router need port forwarding if they want to BT or open any ports.

hope this helps...

this router is cheap and powerful. love it~~!!

so how is every other owner out there? any luck after this firmware? i plan to buy a new modem with router lately but dono wat to go to for the modem part. as for the router, i am going for wrt54gl... please advice!!!

been using am300 all this while..
no problems...
have used it in both bridged and router mode..
connection stable....
