I am also in Hong Kong and also connected via netvigator. I use the router mainly as wired router, seldom wireless. When I connect my PC (Xp) directly to the the ADSL modem (Arescom NetDSL800) I have no problems surfing.
Now it comes, when I connect the PC via the WHR-G300N my D/L speed gets often MUCH higher. But from time to time the speed will go down to zero, or near zero for all HTTP connections. For some reasons email pop3 mailbox checking still works, slower though. This slowness will last for a few Minutes, then go back to normal speed.
I like to add a strange behaviour: when the router is stalling, sometimes, not always, the target site will not show up (sure!) - but the router authorization box will pop up and demands login (root/__).
I just was stuck in that more for 15 Minutes.
But that model is not supported in Hong Kong.
I can't see it neither under products, nor under support.

hi sir... we got the same problem there...
we purchase the router in Hong Kong...
Is there any upgrade of firmware so that we can fix the problem?
Thanks a lot
seem to be no support here for that issue. Agent in Hong Kong is Hornington. Here is there installation PDF:

There are no secret tricks. I did a re-install but still get the same problem once a day. I may call them again for an exchange.
Technical Support:
PS: latest firmware should be 1.60
apparently i cant find support for this model also. i got it in singapore. the only information i can find about this model is on the japanese website which i do not understand.
Experience the same problem here. I got the WHR-G300N. Upload/download is good but when it comes to BT, the router crashes. You can tell when it crashes because even http://192.168.11.1 doesnt even respond.

I still have that problem that web browsing stalls for a few minutes a few times a day. I think it's related to DNS.This topic looks a bit similar to my problem:

When I go to http://192.168.11.1 and do a "check connection" Cabling is OK, PPPoE Server is OK, but Name Resolution is either not ok or takes long time.
What can I do?
