have a linksys also..but the wrt160n model.
maybe a prob with the firmware, very common with linksys routers.
try updating the firmware.

or if u feelin adventurous..install dd-wrt on it and sit back and enjoy. no probs at all..
mine runnin for months straight always on, and never had to reset it or any probs.
and i have three laptops, wireless printer, xbox and desktop pc on it.

that is a router issue bro. No matter what router i stick with this damn modem, on default it connects without any issues. From 54G - 160N - E2000 to an ASUS.

Reset your router to default and see na. I feel something firetruck up.

not supporting the WRT54G2 1.5...

when i need a new i.p. fast/temporarily, i just unplug in the flow modem from the 'internet' port and plug it into the 'port 1' on the router and all computers on the network get a different i.p.

[Monk BANzai]

^^ did that...and im only getting two machines on the network to get IP's ....

Did you reset your flow modem before connecting it to your router? I know the older flow modems you had to reset because of MAC Address bonding

this and if you dont mind getting your hands dirty , check out openwrt....

yeah, this.

flow modems dont get external ip's themselves...they use the capability of whatever device theyre connected to...so when switching btween devices, a modem reboot is needed


at least the older ones as pablo said

wait, my flow have that same blinking orange link led but everything working. I think I had the same prob like the op but then I flashed the dlink router to ddwrt, everything worked fine from there(orange still on though). btw what d orange mean anyways??
