Vonage Thanks everybody for all the comments. For the moment I've disconnected my wireless
Thanks everybody for all the comments. For the moment I've disconnected my wireless router from the network and I'm testing the results. I think I have come up with the following:
1) It's probably not a Vonage-related service problem.
2) It's probably not related to the wireless network conflicting with my cordless phone, although it might be something withinin the router settings (short preamble,etc).
3) It's possible that I have a bandwidth issue. I've done some packet tests from broadbandreports, and it doesn't look like this is the case. Speed seems to be OK as well. I have EarthLink Cable, which actually uses Time Warner Cable's lines. It's been fairly solid but I'll run some packet loss tests during peak hours.
4) It's probably that the phone itself is faulty - I've read some unfavorable customer reviews of the Motorola phone where the ability to talk "cuts out". Hmmm...sounds familiar. I'm starting to look at Unidens, which seem to have excellent reputation amongst the ranks of geekdom.
I think what I need to do next is to use and old-school wired phone to completely eliminate any chance that there's a wireless problem going on. If my problems persist with the wired phone then I know that I've got some bandwidth issues or other service-related issue that's out of my immediate localized control.
Thanks very much for the input everybody!
Read The Full Thread: What cordless phones work with wireless routers?
• Hi peeps,
I have Vonage with a Linksys RT31P2 Router, a Linksys WAP54G wireless
• Oh, yeah - and if I'm completely wrong about the phone being the issue, and it turns
• For dropping, see if the calls drop while the router is OFF, if the problem persists
• If you are truely concerned about it.. get a wireless phone in a different range
• I used to have similar problems where I'd be talking to someone, and then at some
• Forgot to mention that I too use a cordless phone that's 5.8 from base to receiver
• The only time it would interfear with your networking is if you had a wireless access
• heh, thanks for that clarification
anyway, my 2.4 cordless is less than 3
• Frequency interference between cordless phones and wireless routers IN MOST
• First off, your setup should be like so:
Internet -> RT31P2 -> WAP54G
