I have a Linksys PAP2 and heard that the PAP2 has a web-based admin page that is turned off and locked by Vonage. It would be great if this feature was turn back on. Is there any way Vonage can set this feature on per request or is it off to everyone?

which are user name and password in order to approach ?

I just got off the phone with tech support and they stated that a new firmware push will begin this evening to all of the PAP2's. He said that all techs got an email about the upcoming push and that 3.1.3 will be the new standard going forward.

He pushed mine now anyways and I'm reporting Version 3.1.3

Interesting.. I still have 2.0.13d on my PAP2. The same goes for the WRT.

I just called into Tech Support, took less than 5 minutes on hold after navigating through the phone menus. I told them I'd like to have the firmware updated, he flagged the account. I powered the PAP2 off/on, and I am now running 3.1.3. I'll see how this code runs!!!!

I called Saturday, waited on hold for 15 minutes but got my PAP2 flashed to 3.1.3 without a problem. Dancing

I just called and somehow got thru to someone in less than 2 mins. I indicated that I was having some connection problems lately (which I honestly was) and could I be updated to the latest firmware (my linksys pap2 was on 2.1.13b as best I could tell).

I'm now on 3.1.3. Took about 1 min after I hung up for it to update. I didn't have to do anything.

I'll comment if I notice any improvements/problems as well.

yeah, it's been documented on here several times that you either return it or are charged the fee, retail or not. so either the policy changed or this is simply another example of misinformation.

I saw the following from Vonage Rep rcb116 in another thread posted today.

Vonage will apply a $39.99 termination fee when you cancel your account within the first year of service. If you cancel within the Money Back Guarantee period of 30 days and return your device within 14 days of your cancellation, the termination fee will be refunded

However, from what I hear, we just want our routers back so even within a year they MAY refund the termination fee as long as we get the router, most of the time.

Again this does not apply to retail customers.

And this has always been so

Assuming this is the same firmware used by the Vonage boxes, this would explain why my modem calls started to work with voice version 3.1.3:

When CED/CNG tone is detected, unit will automatically go into
fax/modem passthrough mode where it will,
a) change codec to G711 (and also send reINVITE or NSE event to far end
as needed)
b) disable echo canceller
c) disable silence suppression
d) disable call waiting
e) increase jitter buffer size to 100ms and do not allow it
to shrink
All these changes will last until the end of the current call
