Todd, I would grab my Vonage equipment and go to a friends house who has a decent connection and try it over there. This will narrow things down for you.
One of the above suggestions fixed my problems. I switched the power plug-ins to my Vonage router and my wireless router (both Linksys) and the buzzing and static disappeared. So glad to have that fixed.
I'm not quite sure if this is related, but I am having a similar issue myself (a few days now):
1. Location: Maine 2. Your ISP name and type Road Runner - Cable 3. Connection Speed: 5000/384 4. Modem Type: Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPX2203 5. Type of Vonage adapter: Linksys RTP300 6. Setup of Network: Modem ->Linksys WRT54G->RTP300 7. Issue: Background noise/intermittent pop/static
Speed test statistics --------------------- Download speed: 3253520 bps Upload speed: 369536 bps Quality of service: 97 % Download test type: socket Upload test type: socket Maximum download pause: 42 ms Average download pause: 3 ms Minimum round trip time to server: 40 ms Average round trip time to server: 70 ms
Voip test statistics -------------------- Jitter: you --> server: 5.9 ms Jitter: server --> you: 11.8 ms Packet loss: you --> server: 0.0 % Packet loss: server --> you: 0.0 % Packet discards: 0.0 % Packets out of order: 0.0 % Number of supported Voip lines: 6 Estimated MOS score: 3.9
What I have tried so far: -Checked for proper power supply connection -Connect corded phone when RTP300 when was behind router (powercycled) -Connect corded phone when RTP300 is directly connected to cable modem (powercycled) -Connected Harris (Fluke) TS44DLX Butt set into RTP300 w Banjo adapter -Left only Cable modem, and RTP300 powered up. -Swapped patch cord from phone to RTP300
Issue was reproduced by all steps. I'm not sure if this is the right method to post, instead of creating a new thread. I figured that since I seem to be having similar issues, it might be best to post on this existing thread.
Edit: Now that I think of it, it seems I should have created a new thread, considering this one is from the beginning of April...
