I read the previous review. I’m the second. I’ve owned many Linksys routers and wireless access points, as well as hubs. This is my favorite so far. It doesn’t get released in stores until late summer/early fall 2009. The gentlemen before me wrote about how it’s not compatible with Vonage. That’s true. BECAUSE it’s a VOIP router in itself. I know that it’s used by a company called Elevate Comm that launches in April (a month from now). That’s how I got it. Great router, great price, easy to use and setup, as well as great range. I use it it my house, which is 12000 square feet, and I get signal everywhere. Which is better than I can say about my netgear routers.

This is a good wireless router with 2 phone ports, but unfortunately it is not compatible with the Vonage telephone system so I had to return it and get the D-Link VWR that is made specifically for Vonage. I don’t think it is as good a product as the Linksys, but the phone ports wouldn’t work. The ethernet and wireless worked flawlessly for the few days that I was trying to figure out some way to make it work with Vonage.

I bought this as a replacement for my Linksys RTP300 (Vonage supplied) router when it stopped working after a power outage. Once the new router arrived in the mail, setup was easy, but then I found out the phone ports weren’t working. I realized I’d have to transfer my WAN MAC address to my Vonage account first but was getting an error message when trying to transfer it online. I called Vonage tech support who got the same error message. After they checked the router’s model number, they told me they do not support this specific model. He even went so far as to ask if it said “Vonage” on the router – I told him it did not but neither did my RTP300. I’m not sure why the RTP300 is supported but this one is not – even though it is a direct upgrade from the RTP300.
Vonage Tech Support was able to get me a D-Link VXR shipped out and it didn’t end up costing me anything since I recieved a credit for turning in my old RTP300. I guess that would’ve been the way to go in the first place.
Shame on Vonage for not supporting this router, though. There’s no real reason it shouldn’t be supported. They should definitely make a supported devices list more easily available to their customers in the first place.
All-in-all, I guess I should’ve read the reviews on Amazon first before purchasing. If I had, I would’ve saved myself the hassle and the headache from all this.

Had this for a month now and it’s working great! The only thing that it doesn’t do is connect with Vonage service (I wanted to replace my 2 units and combine into 1 since they both died around the same time; a power spike may have done them in). Setup was incredibly easy since I learned how to use the software interface in the previous linksys router. I hope this one lasts a long time.

I’m not an IT person so setup left me sweating a bit. I followed the instructions from the VOIP service provider which left most parameters as default anyway, rebooted the box and it worked.
I now have an all in one communication device, phone, WIFI, and 4 ethernet ports for computer, printers, etc. Probably the best small office device, period.. Its operation has been robust also, no reboots necessary to date.
My next step will be to play with some of the parameters to better work with my service provider, not that it is bad, just that in the remote location I am using it I do experience some momentary silence on occasion. Otherwise I love this thing.
This is not the Vonage version. Vonage I am to understand uses a proprietary version configured at the factory. Probably a bit simpler for a person not wanting to deal with the setup of a VOIP box.
