Hi VOIPoers,

I'd like to ask a question about your phone adapter.

How often does your phone adapter stop working?

Please provide below info:
Phone Adapter: Linksys RT31P2 or Linksys PAP2 or whatever
ISP: DSL or cable or whatever at what speed.
Setup: Behind a router or in front of router
How often not working: Never, once per month or whatever

Below is mine:
Adapter: Linksys RT31P2
ISP: Yahoo DSL Elite (6MB DN and 648KB UP)
Setup: Behind a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. The adapter is wire-connected to the router.
How often not working: Everyday the adapter disconnected itself, sometime once per day, sometime more than 4 times per day for about 15 or 30 minutes. I don’t do anything; it will back on by itself. But sometime, I have to unplug/plug power.

Thanks!

PAP2T behind LINKSYS WRT54GL with Tomato v1.23
Comcast 12/2

Always there, always reliable.

Similarly an RT31P2 has been doing fine behind a ZyXel Modem/Router in FL on Century
(Reseller Beta testing) Not sure the up/down speeds

Always there, always reliable.

I have a PAP2 and haven't noticed any outages. I have it set up behind a DLink router, cable modem, around 16Mb/s down, 8Mb/s up.

Adapter: Linksys RT31P2
ISP: Qwest DSL (1.5Mb Down and 512Kb Up)
Setup: Behind a home-grown Endian Firewall router. Adapter is behind the router, on a separate "orange" subnet, with holes punched in the firewall for the recommended port ranges.

I have not noticed any problems with Qwest, although I have only been with them for a week. I had another local provider that was terrible, with pings in the 150ms - 300ms range, and the adapter had problems staying provisioned. I literally could not use the phone at all. It was just completely unreliable.

With Qwest I haven't had any noticeable problems, although I'm not home during the day, so I haven't "monitored" it, but my wife would definitely let me know if there were problems with the phone.

Thanks!

Unless one sits in front of their adapter 24/7 they couldn't answer that question accurately.

If you're not around when it goes out did it really go out or does it only count if you see it?

That being said .... recently NEVER (PAP2/Fios (25/5)/Actiontec router)

I know it because I sit in front of the adapter, which is next to my router.

I only report when I know it. I don't know how often it doesn't work when I am not around.

It looks like I am the only one has the problem.

No problems here, although it sounds like you are having issues. What things have you/support tried? Do you have the same problem when your ATA is in front of the router?

Adapter: Linksys RT31P2

ISP: Local ISP (8MB DN and 1MB UP)

Setup: Behind a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The adapter is wire-connected to the router.

How often not working: You are not going crazy. I also have my router and adapter almost right in front of me at my desk. A couple of times I have noticed that the Phone 1 and 2 lights are off on the adapter. I pick up the phone and there is no dial tone. I wait a couple minutes and the lights are on again and there is a dial tone. I have not noticed this within the past month, but it has happened. I've read on the forum that the adapter will reboot during the day. I'm not sure how many times per day this happens. Maybe this is what is occurring when the lights go off?

WHen I first switched to Voipo mine was rebooting every 30-60 minutes but a ticket resolved that and now the reboot is rare. An occassional reboot is one thing but it going offline or just not functioning is another.
