I dont know if I'm missing something. . .I'd like to be able to plug a phone (system) into my home router and make/receive phone calls. Will this product do that?

sure. you'll need an account through a SIP provider and then you enter that information into the phone's Web interface and you should be good to go. I have been very pleased with the service of voip.ms. simple to setup and inexpensive.

I still didn't figure out how to use my grand stream. Just buy an obo or ovo device. I think that's what it's called. I plug it in to my computer and a regular phone. I am able to make and receive calls through the internet with out my computer being on.

Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience. The box where you plug the phone in has two Ethernet jacks. When I first set up the system I had one of the jacks connected to one of the Ethernet jacks on my Wifi router which is plugged into a modem that provides internet connection. This was not very reliable so I call Phonepower and they said to plug the phone box directly into the modem and plug the Wifi router into the phone box and this has worked pretty much without any problems. The phone box itself has no Wifi connection unless they have boxes that are different from what I have.Thanks, Jerry Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience.

I'm just a buyer like yourself. But from what I can tell if its the 2.x mm plug in, then it works. Some people were complaining of connectivity sound, but if you are doing all analog (versus hooking it off a wireless phone) then it should work. I'm using a DSL line for my home business, and as long as you run everything "hard line" (as in run teh phone line through your DSL router's analog phone port) it works great for me. Versus spending 100$ for a business class phone? You cant beat it!

Of course! We should have all possible peripheral configuration gadgets available in the market from any source and in sufficient quantities to standard plug-and-play your own system whenever you want, guaranteed! I wonder about the OSs, but you may want a standard phone instead, (without the monthly signal contract).

I used it to replace a very old 1st generation Vonage router no problems. You just have to have customer service (via chat, or on the phone) provision your adapter. Automated provisioning through the webpage wouldn't work for me.

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.

Looking to Nettalk web side it probably does. I have a voip service connected to my router and it works perfectly fine.

That is a question for the service provider to answer. I could not get it to work so my answer is none of the above.

You are correct that it has to be plugged in to an Ethernet port, usually a router to work correctly on a digital line. If you use the phone port it may work, but the phone port is not deigned for digital line.

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default.Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

Not sure what you mean? You have to have Internet service coming to your house through an Internet service provider such as Comcast or AT&T;, that would be true with any router perhaps you're looking for a wireless hotspot which you can get somewhere like Verizon. However I would not suggest this product for a router get a Belkin or a Linksys for the same price.

This is an IP phone, and generally you need a hardware (PBX) and software system to serve as the backbone to run it. It's really not for use in a home -- it's a business/office device for a VOIP phone system.

Yes, I currently have:modem (cable)>vonage box>wifi router (linksys54g w/tomato)>wired PCs and wireless devices (iPod touch, DS, and sometimes laptop).From what you've said, and what I've read elsewhere, I should be all set with:modem>vonage>router>switch> PCsThanks

Q, did you ever get your DAR-101 to work with your base station home phone system? I have the same setup and the machine does not record my outgoing calls.

No this router will not do that. I don't know of any home routers that will unless that is a new feature from some new recent model. You can always put software on someone's computer get detailed results on where they have been.

I was not able to get this unit to work with my home WIFI environment. The install is far too complex so I would assume that your needs would not make a good fit with this product. I think that the NetGear product line would be a much better fit.

No you cannot, your device(phone tablet laptopetc.) will pick up the router even allow you to connect but you will have no internet access. it is an effective long lasting router for DSL connection but not for your phone. I bough tone on eBay and I asked the dude if I could use it to relay a 4G signal from my phone he said yes I in turn bought it. After I noticed I couldn't I asked him what was wrong he apologized and said something about a internet card. I kept it for my DSL and it also charges devices.
