Review on πŸ“ž Ooma Telo Air 2 VoIP Free Home Phone Service with Wireless and Bluetooth Connectivity: Affordable Internet-Based Landline Replacement with Unlimited Nationwide Calling & Low International Rates, Black by Holly Hunter

After 3 days it works fine with Wi-Fi

After 3 days it works fine. I started with a wired ethernet connection and it worked in the advertised 15 minutes. Calls were clear and both incoming and outgoing worked smoothly - connected to an antiquated AT&T pushbutton phone that I kept for land line testing. I then configured to use WiFi and unplugged the ethernet cable. Still works fine. If this goes on for a week, I will cancel my landline connection. The reason I'm deducting 1 star is because the documentation leaves gaps in what you need to know. For example, they don't tell you what to do after setting up the WiFi (e.g. turn off what and when) or whether you need to start with a wired internet connection - no step-by-step instruction set. Also, I've used a laptop with WiFi disabled and a wired ethernet connection with Telo Air, but they don't tell you if you need to configure TCP/IP on the laptop for DHCP or a static IP, gateway, or subnet. mask or something. My Telo configuration connection worked, but I'm not entirely sure how/why the never used/configured ethernet port worked for TCP/IP communication with Telo. What if this port had been previously configured (e.g. a static IP address like 10.xxx) would it still work? If the glossy brochure doesn't fully explain this, it should point to a web link that does. tell me what to have in the box (no Wi-Fi adapter required). But given these issues, the device works better than I expected!

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • Protection
