Im using Linksys AM300 Annex A. 24/7 on..and bt.
But after sometime bout a month+.....it starts to hang..meaning stop responding...
DSL and Ethernet light on, but internet no. Even the modem config page is inaccesible.
I have to reboot the modem(powering on/off) to make my modem work again.
I even attached a cooler on top to cool it off. I think unstable tmnet's line oso contributed partly to my modem hang.
I thought linksys are reliable....anyone experienced this be4?

Additional info...i always have to forward periodically my modem port to get my bt to run smoothly...even the settings are all correct but i have to click save settings to make it forward the port properly.

Updates:
such an old thread, its alive icon_idea.gif

alrite, after so many dog years, my conclusion is that this modem is has firmware issues. latest firmware seems to make it acceptable.
don't expect much though. best modem i've used so far is 3com until it got killed by Lord Zeus.
I have long terminated my streamyx. now i'm using izzinet. kyocera modem. made in japan quality.
