2 Star ReviewIt's The Luck of The Draw OR Lost In Translation
Strengths: Good Local and long distance within the United States. Easy Set up.
Weaknesses: Frequent Reboots averaging at least twice a day. More of a nuisance than anything else. I've grown used to it.
Summary: I found that this Linksys router frequently and most often did not allow international calls including to Canada to go through. Lost packet bundles were typical 80-100% of the time. You can hear the prson you called but they could not hear you. Either line static or garbled words were heard on the receiver's end. There was a better response during the evenings after 9 PM. I am based in Michigan and calls to Kiev, Ukraine were always lost and I was unable to call Mission, British Columbia.

Both cable service checks Wyandotte Cable, and AT&T Voip providers point their fingers at each other so unable to resolve who is at fault. So for me, it just may be roulette game of passing the buck. So far, nothing resolved and have learned to live with it.

In all fairness, I am using wireless phones. I may invest in a corded phone to test if there are better results from a corded land line VS wireless phones.
