Customer Reviews

Drops

Review by D. Hyde, 2010-02-03

I've had the box for about a year. Over time it seems to drop calls. I plug my PS3 into it and it will drop off my game server consistently. I attached a DLINK and everything works fine. Software upgrades did not help. Vonage should look for a better system.



Linksys Router WRT54GP2

Review by D. Mault, 2009-11-06

Very reliable and easy to use. Been using Linksys routers for over 13 years with great results.

Started strong, then Vonage took over.

Review by Randall Sundt, 2009-05-29

I bought this router to support my Vonage phone, like most people. The sound quality wasn't too bad and it was fairly stable. However, in the coming months, Vonage took over the router and automatically pushed updates to the router. The current version I have constantly restarts the router at random intervals. It's quite an inconvenience when I'm on the phone for work and am constantly disconnected. I logged in to flash the firmware, and since Vonage took over, it will not allow you without making some of your own work-around modifications.

I'm not pleased that I can't do what I want with my router in regards to updating the firmware.

When I find a much better option, I would go for it.

Wireless router with voip

Review by William H. Nunn, 2008-11-02

I have gone through several wireless routers of various brands, and this one has hung in there the longest. It has performed flawlessly for several years now. It's easy and fast to set up. Took maybe 10 minutes. Range is good even in a big house. I use it for Vonage VOIP with no problems. And best of all, its reasonably priced.

Dependable

Review by B. Stoltzfus, 2008-09-13

I've been using one of these router for years in my home. We have several ethernet LAN computers connected along with several wireless laptops. Some times there is heavy and prolonged downloading so I set up QOS in the router and the vonage works great. On very rare occasions I have to reboot the router, usually due to voltage fluctations when we have thunder storms. Otherwise this router has been a real trooper.
