Just to be clear, this will work with a wireless router? The Ooma chat line rep told me they don't recommend using a wireless router. Mine is a Cisco.

I have a Belkin wireless router and this ooma telo wireless adaptor proved to be worthless.

I use an Airport Extreme and it works great. Initial setup requires a copper connection to configure the wireless adapter but after that no problems.

It would not work with my wireless router even a few feet away. I returned it to Amazon.

Berry:I tried both wireless and hardwired (Ethernet cable). With hardwire, it works well. Wireless: not reliable. I had to have another one sent since the voice dropped off so bad and the wireless signal reception was poor even in front of the wireless router! The second one was slightly better, but the voice quality was very poor or could not connect. I discussed it with OOMA, but I would have to return to Amazon to get the refund. By that time I could not return it. So, I am stuck with it. It really amazes me that they sell such a poor quality product.In summary: it is bad idea to use this wireless.

it'll work. plug it into your ooma, connect the ooma to your computer w/ ethernet, give it the wireless security info, and you're set to go. People have reported the issue with constant connection drops. I had that problem but was able to solve it by changing my routers' mode. Seems some of the older compatibility modes (b/g) didn't play well with it. Try to choose N-only (2.4 Ghz), or (g/n, g/n-mixed) if whatever auto setting (b-g-n mixed, etc) you're on doesn't work.

Yes, it will work with a wireless router, but the call quality will not be as good as if you had installed the telo between the modem and the router. I tried using the wireless adapter, but I ended up switching back to wired configuration because call quality was not good.

What would be the point of having a wireless router if you dont connect it to wireless. I could never get mine to work but i did work out why. Anyway, i did return it but they never (ooma) gave me a credit. I would not buy it.

If it works with other wireless routers, it will work with this one. I would suggest making sure you have an actual internet connection in those ports with someone else's router first. Other than that, there is no reason to believe this would not work.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

You should be able to use it with any wife router..I use mine with my X finite wifi.and have no problems

I had the best success by connecting the Ooma to the port on the wireless router. At first, I connected my Ooma to the cable modem and connected the wireless router into the port on the Ooma but we'd loose connection on our devices when a call came in. Definitely connect your Ooma to the wireless router assuming you have one.

I don't have a netgear, but it should work with any router that has an ethernet port. It is very simple and reliable.

It works with your router not your PC. The device download has the code to let it be recognized. Its a range extender and not a very good one. If you check it out you'll find a lot of unhappy customers. The device is expensive and not a long lived device. I still have mine ---its in a desk drawer ! !

I'm not familiar with the Actiontec, what Ooma recommends is to take the ethernet from the modem then take ethernet from the Ooma to the router. I have cable so I"m not sure about your router. You can of course connect it via ethernet directly to the router. I have a Netgear Dual Band router and I set it's (the Ooma) IP address as a DMZ and it works flawless, better than any land line I've ever had.

This should work with any router. Remember - it is just a switch - it will use one of the ports on your router to provide an additional 7 ports for peripherals of one type or another (Smart TV, Media Streaming device such as Apple TV, smart DVD player, printer, computer, etc. etc.) One of the 8 ports is used to connect to the router, leaving the other 7 free for other network connections.

Yes, this is a universal extender and will work with virtually any wireless router! (Note however that this is not a cable modem/router; it is a signal extender)

It should work with any router or wireless access point that can be connected with Ethernet cable. It's usually not the internal network but the external cable feed that can be problematic.

Yes and No There are two types one work with Wifi and the other does not work with Wifi it has to be connected directly to your router by cable. Therefore it depend on the type you have purshased

You do need to connect to the router or modem for initial set up. After set up is complete, in theory it should work wirelessly. In practice (for me, anyway), the wireless function does not work. I gave up and connected by ethernet cable. Ooma recommends a wired connection between modem and router.

In theory it will work. This particular model is not very well made, however. Mine lasted as long as two runs of my router before it started smoking. There are better models out there, they cost a little more, but you get what you pay for. \

I am not familiar with this model router from Porter Cable, so I can not be 100% positive that this will work with it. However this is a universal plate and you will need to drill holes to accept your router anyway. It should work with any router that has a base that screws on. There are even set up rings on the plate to help with alignment. You can even drill an extra set of holes for another router if you need to. This is a great product, I feel confident you will be very happy with this purchase.

Yes, it's just another network device. Should work fine with any router. +1 on voip.ms.
