Trouble with my Nettalk Duo being choppy,.Nettalk said linkys router may be issue. Like to run the modem directly to duo and to router, Yes?

It's possible that the switch can interfere with the speed needed to have smooth VoIP, unlikely but possible. If your router has extra ports available, then by all means, directly connect the Nettalk Duo to a router port. If your router has any priority settings, you may want to set the priority of the port the Nettalk Duo is plugged into higher. Hope this helps!

I use nettalk duo with my x10 security system, it has worked just fine for over a year with no issues. I plugged the duo into a wall jack which connected all of the jacks in the house. My modem and duo are plugged into a ups so loss of power is not an issue. When my alarm is triggered it the security console dials up to 6 numbers and allows remote operation. I have had no issues with call quality.

Are you hooking up to DSL or Cable? Do you have a modem from your provider for your service? If you already have a modem, then all you need is the router that you purchased, plugged into the network jack on that modem. If you do not have a modem, you need to either contact your provider and find out what modems they recommend. In this case, you have the choice of renting a modem from your provider, or purchasing one of the modems that is on the list of their supported devices. The Motorola 2247-N8 Wireless DSL Modem works with my AT&T service and acts as BOTH the Modem and the Router. With this device, your Netgear wireless router becomes redundant and unnecessary. I hope that this has answered your question about your need of a modem. Simply, if you do not have a modem, you need one. Check with your service provider for a list of supported devices, or to rent one of theirs.

I have had Belkin, Netgear, and Linksys (linux software) routers and by far the Linksys is the most stable. Both Netgear routers died after a year or two and went to electronic recycling. Their (non)support was non-existent and I will never buy another Netgear product. The Belkin seems to work but with limited range. Linksys is a workhorse! Easy to setup and program. It does occasionally loose sync, but will run for months unattended. I suspect it loses sync when wireless devices (I have 5) wake from sleep and require an ip address but I'm not sure. It's just a matter of unplugging the power, waiting 5 seconds and replugging. Always does the trick. I've bought a second (used, non VxWorks) for a relative.

I have given up on this product. I have similar problems with the service dropping out. Trying to get a response from Nettalk is impossible. They are no help. I wish you better luck than I have had.

For making and receiving calls,no problem-have had a problem setting up caller id and call waiting,but this may be me rather than the service.Previosly had Nettalk Duo 1 yr,it worked about 3 months of that,so to me this service is exactly what I needed for a 2nd phone line-had 3mos,no problems so far.

I had a linksys for 3 year without any problems...I changed recently to a Belkin double band, thinking it was going to be better for the gaming and multiples computers and all i got is connections troubles, it keep disconnecting two o tree times per week, solutions is restarting the router ...not good..I heard is happening every time ip changes...It's going back to Costco.

I'm typing this on a computer which is connected to a WRT1900AC running OpenWRT. As of May 2015 the latest trunk builds of Chaos Calmer run although there are still bugs (which I haven't hit yet). So it runs and it's getting there. I run OpenVPN on my NAS behind the router though so I haven't tested OpenVPN on router. Port Forwarding works as does QOS/codel helping my bufferbloat scores. I'm pretty happy so far and I'm sure it'll just get better.

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

I also want to add that nettalk is terrible, there support is non exsistant I was with out service for 7 months and I called -emailed - on line chats you name it they never responded. I strongly recommend you stay away from Nettalk there a huge ripoff. and if you check them out at face book the people that give them a favorable rating actually work there. I have had Magic jack and I did upgrade to the 2014 and you just plug it into your router or computer and it works fine. and the online chat help is always there

I had trouble with the D-Link and a reboot would fix it temporarily. I finally ordered a Linksys WRT54GL and had no more problems. I use Suddenlink also but my trouble was with wireless printing in house but the internet seemed to work ok but I have an older suddenlink modem.

Should be fine. This is a router not a modem. Routers don't care. Modems do. ;)

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

If the router has up to date software you should be able to load it without to many problems.I bought one the software was not current so I had to contact their help staff. They had me up and running within a half hour.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).
