Run, don't walk away from this device!Strengths: Can build you character Weakness: Will cost you time, money and productivity If you use a VPN connection to work from home, don't buy this device. I did thinking it would be nice to upgrade my router, but ended up wasting both time and money trying to make this device work properly. If you have a router that is working just go with the phone adapter. I would hate to total up all the time lost trying to get this to work (and I am IT savvy. My stubbornness prevented me from crying uncle as early as I should have. So if your considering Vonage or any VoIP service, run don't walk away from this device. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys Wireless G Router/VOIP-VonageStrengths: Easy set-up, sleek case color and pretty blue indicator lights. Weakness: Due to it's light weight the unit will not sit flat with cables attached. (Who cares, it's in the closet.) The unit works flawlessly. Very easy to set-up. I was using my old house phone with my Vonage account in minutes. The calls are clear with absolutely no indication they are VOIP. I use this router and a Linksys USB wireless adapter on my PC and get 100% signal strength 40+ feet and 3 rooms away from the router. The router and modem are tucked away in a closet so there is no clue I am using VOIP. 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Dec 5, 2006 Beware! Bait-n-switch! This router comes "bundled" with a VoIP provider,, although there are three different models, only one can support any VoIP provider: the others FORCE you into Vonage or Earthlink, so if you want voice you HAVE to get it from either provider!

Stable and powerful routerStrengths: Good signal, 2 phone ports Weakness: Firmware I bought it to use voip phone calling. It has two ports so I can set up two voip phone numbers, one for receiving calls and one for calling out. Followed some instruction from DSLreports, I was able to modify the router so it can accept any voip phone service providers other than Earthlink. The wireless signal is very good so my laptop can access internet anywhere in the house. One thing I don't like it is the firmware. For some reason, the router hangs up once or twice with red led on every month. It's not a big deal though. I just restart it and it will be fine. I guess the firmware (v3.24) is not stable.

Router with PAP2, Linksys - Cisco Brand.Strengths: One Unit - Less wiring from Router to Phone Adapter - with Vonage service. Coverage looks good. Weakness: - Original setup CD was not saving new changed setting, ended up finding default password then did modification of wireless security. So far been using for week and looks great. Setting up Wireless router was easy once you know login/passwd. Easy to find default passwd for router from Vonage. Up and running in no time. Restart takes bit longer than normal due to combined unit of Phone & Router. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Linksys 802.11g router with 2 phone linesStrengths: A Linksys WRT54G router integrated together with a Linksys PAP2 VOIP adapter; runs cool; smaller and lighter design. Weakness: Somehow shorter operating range then the WRT54G router; not degraded throughput in mixed 11B/G environment. The router is easy to set up via the web interface; but this Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

warranty is a gimmickStrengths: Router is adequate. Works better now on DSL (Siemens SpeedStream in dumb mode / AT&T). Voice quality is great on 2nd port ... Weakness: It went dead daily for 10-15 min when on cable modem (Motorola Surfboard / Cablevision). Warranty is a gimmick! Voice port #1 is scratchy & intermittent... I bought the device to replace an augment an aging but functional router. The old router went dead once a month, the new one failed daily, but was likely caused by ISP.

Solid at everything.Strengths: Top notch wireless G and Vonage both work great. Wireless range reaches throughout my home on two levels. Weakness: Won't clean my bathroom floor. I have this unit in my bathroom closet along with a cable modem and the handset base for my telephone. Everthing works great plus my new cable transmits at approx. 425kbps wirelessly compared to 70kbps dsl hardwired. Great product for a wireless G router plus the bonus of two vonage phone connections.

Linksys VOIP Wireless G Router
Strengths: Easy to use. No dropped connections. Nice browser interface to adjust settings.
Weakness: None.
Out of the box and connected within minutes. Just follow the instructions and your network will be up and secure in no time. There are 2 ports on the back to connect your home phones. Using my Vonage service people have no idea it is a VOIP call. This is my second Linksys wireless device and the performance/range are excellent.
