Problem description:
Maybe it's just me, but be careful before buying this device - WAG54G2. (do not confuse with WAG54G)

I had a lot of problems with my old Linksys AM300, a pretty shitty modem. See this topic.

So I bought WAG54G2, a new Linksys all-in-one modem/wireless router a few weeks ago from Lowyat. I read about it in this The Star article.

The good thing is that the design is very sleek.

But I have faced frequent disconnections. Sometimes can't connect at all. I have yet to find the root cause.

Current Solution
I have replaced the modem with D-Link DSL-520B. I'm using it in bridged mode wth my old D-Link wireless router: DI-524

Conclusion
Don't buy old products (Linksys AM300) that have lots of reported problems.
Don't buy new products (Linksys WAG54G2) until they've been successfully tested in the market.
Avoid all-in-one solutions. Best to buy a Streamyx Certified Modem, like the DSL-520B.

Edit: The old wag54g is good. But this new one (G2) seems to have problems.
