I only have wireless and it seems as if reviews are saying this device does not work well with a wireless internet connection. Is that the consensus?

I bought Ooma with wireless. It did not work for me. However, when I plugged it into the back of the router it works perfectly. We have used it for about 6 months now and we can't tell any difference in service from our old ATT connection except for the bill being less than 5 dollars a month:)

yes it works well have it about 20 ft from wireless router follow wireless hook up info when you get it and ooma has could support if needed.

Did not work well with my wireless. Had to connect to my computer, then worked great.

I run mine through a wireless connection and it works great! I never have any issues out of it. I can also use my cell phone app (iPhone) to make phone calls through if I am away from my house.

mine works fine with a wireless access point about 30 feet and two rooms away.

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

i tried the wireless Iogear with a movie on a memory stick and it wont give enough bandwith to have a smooth playing on my laptop, so i guess it wont work !, but maybe under the apps that you plan to use it for it gonna be ok !

I just thought I would add to the discussion here since the comments are so new. I don't know about the WiFi but apparently it doesn't have it. I just purchased one of these for $7.00 in a Goodwill thrift shop and it works great. The latest firmware is from May 31, 2012. Getting the latest firmware may solve some of your problems with this player.

I ended up sending mine it. It absolutely would not connect to any wifi net. The support was fantastic, but it was returned for full refund at the company' s urging.

I've not had any problems at all with steaming or with using other devices. This is the same device that Time Warner uses for their WiFi customers, that alone should tell you how well it works. I've been used this device through Time Warner for 2 yrs then I finally and purchased my own exact model since it performed to well and I'm glad that I did. If you aren't good with wireless networking, then just youtube your issues or google the forums needed to answer your questions.

I am uncertain if it works with wireless. I do kmow when we tried to use it running from the main internet socket to Ethernet cords to laptops it did not work.

I bought one but cannot get it to set up as a wireless repeater on an existing wireless network. Can anyone point me to success?

I used instruction to installed and it was very clear what to do there. First you use installation CD and then you will be promoted to connect wifi adapter to one of your USB ports. After that you have to find your wireless network and enter the name of your network and password. And yes using this device solved my bad wireless connection problem. Good luck.

I have not been happy with it. I went with a Net gear wireless and have has no problems at all.

It's been a while since I had that device, and I never tried connecting via cable. However, as far as I know, a wired connection is better than a wireless connection in any circumstance with current day technology.

CHECK your other wireless devices. Your objective should be to make sure they do not have the same frequency of transmission. If this is the only wireless device you have then it does NOT matter which one you pick.

No, it works fine and if your internet carrier is good/fast you will have great WiFi @home or office. This little device is worth its price!! Never had issues to re-start since I purchased last year

I don't know what kind of wireless you have, but I want some! My wireless is about 10mbps max and when I tested this it was 7.5mbps. I got it this unit to get signal strength in a hard to reach area of my home. For this it worked great.

Did you ever get it to work wirelessly? I am having the same problem where I cant get it to work wireless.
