Hello: I am using RTP300 Voip routers for two computers and three phone lines. One of the routers is acting up (phone 1 and 2 lights comes on only after prolonged "tweaking", and I do not know what I did to get it to work). And since the RTP300 are now somewhat dated, I want to get two new Voip routers (since there are no three phone line routers out there yet, as far as I know) for hard-wiring (my wife's and my office are wall to wall, so I see no reason to go wireless). I would be very grateful to get some tips on what routers to start looking at, and also info (if available) on whether routers have been tested somewhere. Best regards, Hans L |

You'll get more answers to this in the Voip forum, where the networking experts hang out. However, if I were willing to replace two adapter/routers I'd probably opt to go the whole route and get a good stand alone router and stand alone adapters. Having listened to the networking guys, I'd go with a WRT54GL for the main router and put firmware from Tomato on it. Then I'd go with D-link VTAs for the Vonage adapters. |

Steve, great. I thought I saw something about separate router and adapters somewhere, and you have now confirmed it.
I'll start with the router and adapter you mentioned, and go from there.
Best regards, and thanks.

Steve, let me ask you: any disadvantage with the D-link VTAs if I were to switch from Vonage to some other outfit?

Quite possibly. Vonage will work only with adapters specifically configured for Vonage use. I suspect that other Voip providers are the same, but this applies equally to all adapters. Figure on canning any adapters you have if you switch. Of course, that's more reason to keep adapters simple and use dedicated routers for that function. |
