I was having problems all yesterday (Feb 2nd).

Outbound calls, either:
ring ring ring fast-busy,
ring ring ring silence,
or just fast-busy.
(outbound calls from my cell phone to the same target number always went through)

Inbound calls (I have Simulring set up) would ring on my alternate number BEFORE ringing on the Vonage-connected phone (usually Von phone rang first before my alternate phone rang). [b:90e99b6632]Sometimes it only rang on the alternate phone. [/b:90e99b6632]If I tried to answer the Vonage phone, it would disconnect. If I tried to answer the alternate phone, I could usually get the connection but then there would also be a blank voicemail left on the Vonage voicemail.

Ocassionally I would get to speak to someone (outbound or inbound) but shortly in the conversation it would cut me off (disconnect the call).

Unplugging and replugging the power to the Vonage box (resetting the system) did not clear the problem.

I tried to call Vonage Tech Support and it said the wait would probably be 20 minutes (which is unusually long for VTS).

I finally unplugged my Vonage phone for the day and let all calls go to the alternate number.

This morning, so far, it seems to be working. I haven't found anything on the Internet to indicate there was a Vonage-wide problem. I suspect there was and that it has been corrected by now (Feb 3rd).

This morning all inbound calls from non-Vonage numbers are hitting my cellphone (network availability number) and not ringing on the house phone.

However inbound calls originating from other Vonage customers are ringing through normally.

Sounds like Vonage is having inbound routing issues.  Anyone else noticing this?

My Comcast Internet cable outlet is located in a room apart from where my Vonage phone will be used.  I am currently currently using a  Motorola SBG6580 eXtreme Wireless  Cable Modem Gateway for wireless connections to my laptop and printer, and wish to connect to the Vonage Box through this same wireless connection.

Questions...

1.  Can this be done?

2.  If so.. can you please provide me with directions to accomplish the connection, or point me to a site that can?

Thank you,

Stevebo

<blockquote>Thanks for the response. Here is part of a full page review on the 7270 which appears to be $100 cheaper than the 7390 which retails for $400:
<blockquote>Setting these problems aside, the FRITZ!Box is a perfectly priced and ideally configured device for one category of customers &#8212; professionals with a small home office, or companies of only a handful of staff members.</blockquote>That item would appear to be overkill for me and out of my league.

Draytek also appears to be better suited to the business world. My needs are residential.</blockquote>

For general purpose home use 7270 is great as well. It has all the features of 7390 (n-Wifi, LAN, VOIP, Dect). The difference between the two is that 7390 has VDSL option in addition to ADSL, 1000mbps hardwire connection, simultaneous dual band on wifi that gives you upto 300mbps (your actual upload/downlaod speed depends on your internet connection) but dual band is prefered for media streaming. For $100 more if you do not care about the features I mentioned, 7270 works great. I was considering 7270 earlier as well for the exact same reason ($100 or so less), however I do watch internet on TV and reconsidered my decision later; besides the shop I went to in Austria didn't had 7270 in stock, so my decision at the time of purchase became much easier.

I have seen Draytek in person in London, the shop didn't had the actual VOIP version in stock. This system is cheaper but doesn't come with Dect. The system otherwise looked equally robust.

I have 7390 installed at home, it has a very strong software configuration menu, got it working on ADSL (eliminated additional ADSL that I had from AT&amp;amp;T) and am now trying to find Vonage SIP settings. Dect works fine as well and so does wifi. It is less hotter than NEtgear N600 (WNDR3400) that I had earlier.

Will let you folks know when I get it configured with Vonage. If you have time and better luck sooner than me, please do post the settings here. Good Luck.

<blockquote>Thanks for the response. Do you recommend any combo with the vonage router that I have?</blockquote>

Fritzbox 7390 (German company AVM) is what you need. It is however not available in US. You can order from European Amazon or from their website directly. 
It has everything you need, including built in ADSL modem and Dect phone where you can register Panasonic or other Dect devices. Check www.fritzbox.eu ... I have purchased one from Austria during the last trip and am working on configuring to Vonage. I need to get SIP settings from Vonage to do so. I will keep you posted here on the outcome. The other company that sells a similar device is Draytek, available in UK.

I have the one that looks like this:

[img:084db6a0e7]http://nomihodai.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/device_vportal_callout.gif[/img:084db6a0e7]

Not sure what it is called.


So it should be possible with my device?

I'll have to log in to the configuration page and see if I can figure it out.
