Is there a best router to use with this phone - or will any router do?

I don't think so. A good reliable connection that can handle the Skype protocol throughput and latency requirements is all that is needed. Hope that helps.

In my experience, I've been using this phone since middle-2014. All WIRED router/modem has worked properly (10/100, at least).

We just plugged ours into a 8 port router, and it has been working fine for several months now.

You probably need 5.8 GHZ phones. We had to upgrade to that when we decided to go wireless. That said, we don't have problems with our phones but do with our microwave using another router. We can use our microwave just fine with this one. Good luck.

You have to have a data plan with a carrier in order to use wireless without a router. If you are within range of wifi connection and know the password (some dont require a password) you can use that service. The data plan is handy when you're on the road. Most public places have wifi available. Your device will ask you which service you want to use

Yeah, I use t mobile with mines and it works fine. You'll get Hspa+ speeds depending were you are which is pretty decent

Android phones can share their 3G/4G Internet without the need of another device attached to them. Never used the router with a phone though because when sharing Internet I always used the embedded sharing option on my phone. Your question is a little confusing.

I never used the phone for internet because the quality isn't that great. Your better off getting an android phone. Net10 has them sometimes on sale or for free if you buy the plan.

This is a cable modem, you still need a router with WIFI. Look for one with b/g/n capabilities.

Hi, For the price, the Netgear line of 54mbps routers should work just fine. There are faster WIFI protocols, but unless your internet is that fast you won't use but 10% of the netgear's bandwidthh (edit: fixed)

No, it'll take whatever address the router issues because nothing needs to connect to the phone. The phone connects with whatever voip service you use, so as long as it can reach the Internet and no one is filtering voip traffic you're good.

Here you can find the white paper on the different models: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/c5302/whitepaper_EN_%20C5302_C5303_%20C5306_M35c_2.pdfIt details the networks each of them can use. Just compare it to the bands of your provider (wikipedia).

No any good router will work. Mikrotik 2011 is a good starter, ispsupplies.com

Great Question. Sadly, I've only used it with T-Mobile. However, I cant see why it would be locked to T-Mobile as it's not a subsidized device like an i-Phone. It's basically a cheap router with a phone number built in via the GSM chip. I'm not sure which other carriers offer this GSM "at home" service. T-Mobile is the only one I know of. If you want my advice, buy a Magic Jack. That thing is dirt cheap and it works pretty good. I never have problems with it.

You will need to have a t-mobile router in order for it to work. The phone has the feature built in but you still need T-Mobile's router

Any router that supports 802.11 B/G/N will work with this laptop, with 802.11N being preferred for range and speed. Check the router specifications to see what standards it supports.

Hi Ivey, the one you picked is just a switch, not a router. You can go through this process so we can start suggesting a router for you. Here it is: http://goo.gl/7zB1dc

My understanding is that this is an unlocked phone that will work with all GSM bands. it is supposed to do HSPA/3g speeds, but the phone is really slow. honestly I do not recomend this phone
