📶 Enhance Your VoIP Experience with the Poly (Plantronics + Polycom) OBiWiFi5G USB Wi-Fi Accessory (1517-49585-001) Review

I ordered this for use with a Polycom VVX 411 phone at my healthcare facility. At the height of the pandemic, we were only allowing a limited number of patients into the waiting room at one time. There was a girl at the front door with a laptop, but she also needed access to her office phone. There is no network connection where it should be so I decided to try this.

I don't understand why the tone dial phone I connected was set to pulse dialing (not tone dialing). Once I realized this [a few hours later!], setup was easy and the Wi-Fi extender worked like clockwork. Mom…

Read carefully it works. You may need to update your phone's firmware. I used Polycom vvx501. You can update the firmware by connecting 1 to the phone's IP address via your computer's browser. Or 2.

It may not even blink blue. This does not mean that the bad blur indicator will light up if it is properly connected to the…

Although it's expensive (approx. We have a wired phone jack and router in the living room. The room is next to the outlet for the obi boxes but the only phone in our house is in the kitchen, it's a cordless phone plugged into another outlet. Once set up properly, it's great! BUT. When I set up the obihai200 box myself for the first time, I was able to get the dongle with a few tries couldn't get it to work but the ethernet hardwiring worked.I had to contact support by phone.It turns out you…
