Linksys AM300 Modem Quick Configuration Guide
The guide walks you through connecting the Linksys AM300 modem to a PC, opening a web browser, and accessing the configuration page at 192.168.1.1. You log in with the default username and password (admin / admin) and then select the appropriate encapsulation (RFC 2364 PPPoA), VPI/VCI values, and DSL modulation settings.
After configuring the PPPoA settings, you set the timezone, DHCP options, and optional NTP servers. The final steps verify that the PPP login status is "Up" and display the modem’s connection statistics such as downstream/upstream rates and margins. If the connection does not come up, a factory reset may be required.
