Has anyone successfully used any other routers besides the 3 they sell?
If so, please use this forum to update the tested ones.
EVEN IF THEY DON'T WORK!
- Linksys RTP300:
Doesn't work. It played a message telling me my phone may be in the wrong port. I got this router years ago from Vonage.
If this list gets long enough, I will put together a Matrix of routers tested.
in the below, who is "they" ? Wouldn't be VoIPo, would it? I thought VoIPo only provided ATAs.
any other routers besides the 3 they sell?
Maybe I was unclear.

Voipo actually sells 4 routers:
- Linksys PAP2
- Linksys PAP2T
- Linksys RT31P2
- Grandstream HT502
This post is to determine if any other routers "on the market" work and/or don't work.
I have used the RTP300 successfully myself. In fact I use one to this day as an outgoing only with no registration and fax through it...
Dlink 1402s was a complete failure here...
Hey chpalmer was it from Vonage?
I wonder if they modified it for their service only.
Yes the RTP300 is an old Vonage ata I unlocked...
:)
Not all these devices are routers - the PAP2 isn't, for example.
How did you unlock it?
I would love to figure this out because I signed up for the reseller package that comes with 3 numbers but only one adapter. It would help a lot if I could use this RTP300 as well.
Maybe I should star another thread about unlocking the RTP300?

Go through this link...
If you unlock the ATA and diddle with it, how can you expect the VoIP Tech Support staff to willingly help you?
The support staff cannot offer ANY support for any routers or adapters that they don't provide. So this is the only support people have for non-supported routers and adapters.
Do you understand now?
It's just a thread for people to talk about and modify non supported routers. That all!

Thanks USA2K, I will at that one too.
This thread might be more appropriately housed in the BYOD forum: http://forums.voipo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28
This forum is supposed to be for prospective service users, as I understand it, so why is there so much activity by people who are already using the service?Quote:

There seems to be a misunderstanding. The OP of this thread was referring to other ATA's or SIP devices as opposed to home routers. His wording was confusing to say the least. You are not required to buy any "routers" from Voipo. Voipo ships you a leased ATA for free. Voipo will gladly give you free support for connecting their ATA's to your own router if needed.Quote:

Right, we provide one on a free lease basis at no cost to you when you order our residential/small business service.Quote:

Thank you, tritch and Cody. My total ignorance of VoIP led me astray.Quote:

Closing this thread as it seems to be a target of some spam bots.
