Do you need a static IP address to use the wifi?

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.

You don't need a static IP address to use the wifi to access your local PBX host. If you're using the phone's VPN from a different network however you need to make sure they're using a Cisco router as no other router works with the built in VPN. Again, that's only if you're off the local network. If you're on the local network then there's nothing special needed. No fixed IP or anything.

These answers are not correct. You can log into the system settings using the IP address provided and turn off the wireless portion and connect it to an external router.

"One thing to be very concerned about when considering the 600 is you do need a static IP address"This is not true and paying for a public IP address is not necessary. All you need is a DNS service and you can always access your device by name. There are many free DNS servers available.

I would assume so. This device is essentially acting like a switch on the network. Once its connected, anything you plug into it should pull an address from the DHCP service. Although if they're already accessible wirelessly, why buy this?

U have to have internet to have WiFi. If u do have internet that isn't wireless u would have to get a router to hook up to ur internet to obtain wireless internet.

Is it even possible to have a network adapter without a MAC address, I don't believe so.

To my understanding you will not have wifi in the middle of nowhere. If your laptop is not "wifi" ready, it will make it "wifi" ready.

No, this unit uses the same kind of wireless network that one uses to access the internet. A web address and web browser are used to set up the device.

No. If you need to access wifi, you need to have a wifi adapter to plug in to the computer. I prefer wired speeds, personally, so mine is plugged in to my router directly, but I could use a wifi adapter to connect to my wifi network if I wanted to.

DHCP mode let's the router tell each machine on the network what's its IP address is. Static IP let's the user tell the machine and the router a specific IP to use.

Yes, you can. This little router can give internet access to any wifi enabled device.

Yes, you can connect to the WiFi radio of the controller and manage it directly...but you need a WiFi capable computer, tablet or smart phone. You can also connect it to a WiFi router without Internet access and control it through your home WiFi network. You won't be able to access it except when near the controller or near your home WiFi network in this case. If your WiFi router is connected to the Internet, our controller will automatically find our server and after you register you can access it from anywhere there is Internet.

You don't have to have wifi to work it. It is easier to adjust through the interface, but you don't have to adjust that way.

It has an inbuilt wireless adapter that you can allocate a static IP address to.

No. This is the modem only. You will need a router of some sort to have Wi-Fi.

No. My wifi gives me very steady connection. It could be a problem of your wireless router.

Well considering it is a WiFi USB adapter use u need WiFi to use thus device. But WiFi is not required to setup or configure the device.
