What promotion? Just a speed upgrade only recently.

Till yesterday no problem. Sailing smooth.

speed upgrade is for selected 'old' maxis customers, right?

hmm.. will try to restart the modem later..

Going to change from wireless to wired since my area is NOT covered by streamyx. Anyone having any MAJOR problems in wired Maxis? The wireless version is just NUTS~!!! They're capping the monthly usage *sigh*

no major probs so far with wired Maxis.. altho the service tends to have pms once in a while.. mine was slow a few days ago but back to normal after one day

greetings all wired maxis users,

Can anyone list out alternative brand modem+router models that work as good as or better with maxis wired, than the provided Zyxel/Aztech ones. Specificallity as in hardware and firmware version would be great. Thanks.

Belkin not bad. So far rarelly hang. Better than aztech. One thing you must makesure is the firmware is update.

Another good about belkin modem router is, lifetime warranty. Spoil, just send it back for replacement.

Thanks ozak. Which belkin model in particular? planning to replace my aztech modem here. Belkin's lifetime warranty refers to it's product lifetime right? meaning if a certain model reaches its EOL (end of life); which roughly translates to about 1 to 3 years, or more...depending. Not our human lifetime as a lot of ppl mistake it for.

G wireless modem router. I guess only one type.

I think is the product lifetime warranty kua. I did go to their service center to change one to one after brought over 1 month. Cause by the firmware.

Guys, Need some advice..

Maxis wired broadband is it good for gaming? Any maxis wired broadband users here that plays online games please advice.. Thank you

You must check your place first do have maxis wired or not.

Got lo at puchong area...

Than what take you so long to apply?

my advice: stay away from Belkin FD7634 model and its variants (e.g. FD7634-4). they tend to hang quite often though i regret purchasing it. u can head over to Belkin thread at Network Tech support section and see numerous complaints regarding this particular model.

This is one of the reasons why certain brands and models are usually out of stock in the market, Linksys and Buffalo routers tend to be the most sought after routers by home consumers these days.

Remember my last time problem regarding Belkin. It already been solve and the problem is from the firmware. After exchange another new one with an upgrade firmware from the service center, no more problem. And running much more stable than aztech.

Why won't it? Well, usually people are going after the WRT54GL model in which they are able to flash a third party firmware enabling a lot more features in the router. I'm not sure whether it works with Maxis Broadband or not since I've not tried it myself but usually, it works great with a third party firmware.

anybody using buffalo modem router on Maxis wired? any problem with it? Thinking of getting the buffalo wireless modem router next month

My office have a spare linksys modem router WAG2000G which I use to stanby for streamyx. No mod or anything. Just standard firmware. So tried it at my home maxis BB. Tried play with all the setting, it still won't connect. That's why I advise don't use it on maxis BB unless you have a spare unit to try or get from a friend. For linksys router only without a modem, is no problem. I tried that before.

For belkin, it connect instanlly. I ve more fate on belkin as it work more stable and longerlife. I ve tried many modem or router. Linksys, dlink, tmnut, aztech. Either don't last long or hang oftenly.

i've seen good reviews about Buffalo modem routers. but then i guess no one here's wants to try using it. people usually play on the safe side; use maxis's own Aztech modem and buy a separate router.

well i've patched to the latest firmware provided in the thread by someone that is working or whose friend is working at Belkin Service Center. the problem is still there, although not as frequently as before.

Is the modem lifetime warranty including any types of coverage
