Hey guys i have the a similar problem too (AM300)

The modem occasionally hands and reboots when it gets hot. I Overcame this by putting a fan next to it. However a second problem arises, i cant resolve DNS entries while running bit torrent. It seem that the modem cannot sustain 30+ multiple connections.

Is this a firmware problem or a hardware problem? Are there any third party firmware for this modem?

Basically, this modem oni good enough for surfing ler..hmm..maybe good oso if we set it bridge mode oni and pair it with a powerful wireless router like Linksys WRT54G or Belkin pre-N.

HOw do you go about bridging the modem? There are 2 bridge options in the modem setup (Which, the default bridge or the other one?)
I'm using Linksys's WRT54GS

Okay, bridge mode the regular bridge only mode. WRT54GS wont dial. either will direct access to the modem via Ethernet port on the pc works.

Both dialing using PPPoE
