Thanks Mike, will have to wait for an official details from Netgear website, on the Netgear website only shows:What about security?Skype uses secure and encrypted communication so nobody's able to listen in. The NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone is designed to deploy Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) for WiFi security.What wireless standard is used?The wireless mobile phone is WiFi compatible 802.11g, and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

I got the W730 headset. It links to the bluetooth on your cell phone and is wired to my office phone. It works awesome and is areal time saver because I can work with both hands while I'm on the phone. I also got the HL10 handset lifter. No problem with anything and I work in a shop and it is exposed to cleaning chemicals and grinding dust. It's been over a year and no problems at all. Hope this Helps, Dave.

I did have to configure my router (through my home computer) to make our mobile devices accessible, but it was relatively easy with a twenty minute, scheduled help-desk call (you are given an appointment time to call in and share-connect with your control computer to avoid on-hold times). I also set up a dedicated dtdns address for greater reliability, but that was free. The Baby WiFi tech walked me through all of that during that twenty minute call.

This is just another device connecting to your route, just like a computer. You will need to have an account (I use voip.ms but any type of service will be compatible). This device will hold your account information and keep the connection alive to the service. I then have my phone connected to this device (which has 3 remote handsets). I have had very good luck with this. It's kind of a set it up and forget it type of thing.

Yeah it gives you access to Xbox LIVE play online etc. but as soon i redeem the code it would log me off when i turn on my Xbox or even when i use my apps such as Netflix or Youtube it was working fine when I didnt have access to LIVE I need to call Xbox for support to fix the problem. This is what im experiencing after i bought it online for the first time, before i would get them at Target,711 or just straight from the menu from your Xbox.Hope this helps you out in some way.

The wireless headset itself requires that you be at your phone to answer and hang up the phone. The bundle with the lifter allows you to be away from your phone and will a button on the side of the headset answer and hang up the phone anywhere in the office. The little light that is part of the bundle allows others to know you are on the phone since the light flashes when you are in talk mode. I personally think it is way worth the extra to have the flexibility to answer the phone no matter where you are inn the office. That way you can also walk away from your desk and hang up when you are finished with your conversation. I can go ask others in the office questions about stuff by walking to their work area when I am on the phone with a client. This bundle allows me to be very productive. I personally love this product with the bundle. I would not buy it without the headset lifter and indicator light. My entire staff of 15 use it and love it.

it connects just like the phone headset, some phones are able to have the headset and this plugged together with a button to shift between but if you don't have this, just put it instead of the headset

Headset does not require pairing.No matter what kind cordless phone you use.This headset connected straight to landed phone plug no additional phone equipment needed.But if you ask how to make a phone call than yes you need separate phone to make dialing.Unfortunate this set can not dial and do not have visual monitor to see who calling.I would say this headset use as helping phone tool to free your hands while you talking and quickly answer call. PS .Also headset have option to attach corded phone so it became cordless and also have option to connected to computer (wired connection only (USB)) helpful with messaging programs like Skype. Those connections its not automatic owner have to switch this options on unit. Hope it helps.

Hello Mike some time ago there were an app in the play store, but I can't find it anymore, but anyway this headset works with any Android Device and most of the futeres are usefull, not sure but I think even the text voice messages can be cofigured without any app necesity. I also use it with my PS3 and I have no complains for it.

It works with most phones as long you have bluetooth but you need to install a program called franklin bracelet in the app store and its totally free, but I have managed to connect it without the program but its better if you download it. As for the headset I dont think its possible, I havent tried it yet but if I have any updates i'll let you know :p trust me its worth getting it :) I hope that helps. Billy

This device has a couple of Modes. In the mode for extending your wireless network (either via a hardware "Access Point" or wirelessly) It will support multiple devices connecting. BUT if you want to use the mode that converts a wired connection to wireless (like DVD box with a wired network connection) it stinks. In that mode it has a built in DHCP, and will answer DHCP request with it's private address range. There is no way to turn it off or limit it. End result your other network devices will randomly stop talking to the internet.

You can use it strictly as an access point. I travel a lot and use it at hotels that require a sign in page. That way I can still connect my xbox.

You will NOT be able to connect this to PS4 via bluetooth. This is an innate issue with the PS4 and its support of bluetooth headsets, and not a fault of this one. The PS4 supported wireless headsets like the PS GOLD ones come with a specific adaptor which adds the wireless function and are not truly bluetooth devices. Having said that, you can still use this with PS4 a) either by plugging into the controller via 3.5 mm cordb) there are some expensive dongles which let you sync bluetooth headphones with PS4. Probably not worth the hassle and cost though.c) wait for a patch from sony :) You will NOT be able to connect this to PS4 via bluetooth.

Sorry for the delay in responding as we were on vacation and just returned today.The hand sets do have a headset plug on the side and a speaker phone mode. I cannot find a headset plug for the larger base (with the digital answering system), but the smaller individual units (as pictured) do have the headset plug. As information, I do like this system. One of the reasons I ordered it is because of the Silent mode. If you do not want to hear the phone ring, you can push the silent mode button and the answering machine will still answer the call - but none of the units nor the base will ring.

This is a common misconception, one that has cost my company hundreds and likely thousands of dollars. You only need the lifter if your phone does not support external headsets. We use Shoretel 230 VOIP phones and these headsets work right out of the box WITHOUT the lifter. (We've purchased 50 or so of these lifters, only to find out that we do not need them.) So check with your phone manufacturer, IT dept, whatever you have available before ordering the lifter. As far as I can tell, you really only need it for much older phones, or for very generic non-office use phones. The majority of office phones have provisions for wireless headsets.

I use this with my multi line phone system. However, I have to be at my desk to switch between lines. I can only place calls on hold, answer new calls, and transfer calls from my desk. There aren't those types of controls on the headset.
