Excellent ethernet replacement and high quality calls

Using OBiWiFi5G with my OBi200 as an alternative to connecting with an ethernet cable. Call quality when connected to the adapter was excellent and the person on the other end of the line can hear me clearly. The router is about 30-40 feet away (separated by two walls) and I usually get 50Mbps in and 8Mbps in. Very easy to set up (unless you have a computer or mobile device with wifi capabilities as you will need that to set it up). The setup consists of connecting to the OBiWiFi setup networkโ€ฆ

Obi WiFi Adapter - Big Thumbs Up

The adapter works great with my Obi 202 and the range is very good through a few walls and up to the second floor. Voice communications are as clear as when connected to a network, and faxes are routed with ease. However, the installation wasn't as easy as I had hoped. The adapter never turned blue after I followed the instructions exactly. I chose to configure the adapter using the Obi GUI. Using a PC/Laptop connected to the same network as Obi, I entered Obi's network address 202. This brings

Efficient, cheap and reliable

With this dongle I get about 33% of the signal in the far corner of my house, which is enough for calls with the same clarity as a call from a landline. My router is Asus RT-AC68U with Tomato firmware. My guess is that people complaining about poor link quality or poor connectivity either have a junk router or an expensive router with junk, buggy OEM firmware. Here's a litmus test: If you have to reboot your router once a week, then VoIP over Wi-Fi isn't for you. I'm just glad the proprietaryโ€ฆ

$25 to redeem my Obihai Obi200? SALE!

We need a landline phone in our home because the cellular service indoors is not reliable enough to make calls for work. However, I hated paying for something we rarely used. I bought an Obihai OBi200 for $50 and tested it with Google Voice for a week. What's not to like? I didn't notice any change in voice quality even though I was missing caller ID on outgoing calls. I really had to tell people my new number - nobody picks up unknown calls, no there is so much spam out there! In preparationโ€ฆ
