Re: Voip wireless modem router for iiNet naked

[Eugene]

Thanks Daniel,

I did exactly that in the end. I went through firefox on the Mac side once I 
saw the direct connect number.

In the end the auto setup wizard didn't work out for the VoIP and iiNet kindly 
gave me the numbers and details to put through manually. (They are very good 
and very patient)

Once I disconnected from the ethernet cable the router seemed to have lost the 
password going to iiNet. I was able to log on via firefox and set this 
manually. All is good now

 Regards,
 Eugene

Re: Voip wireless modem router for iiNet naked

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Eugene

You don't normally need to run the software.
Generally you can log in from a web interface and log in to the Netgear
direct and set it up from there.
(Most Netgears are 192.168.0.1 by default).
Then you can follow the web wizard to set it up. :)

If it's got the VoIP feature built in, then you may just need to log in
manually as above and set it up (or check it's set up).

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: VoIP wireless modem router

[Ronda Brown]

Oh yes! I have Belkin Surgeboards protecting all my equipment in my house.
 I've had a couple die over the years. One  protecting my ADSL modem / Airport 
Time Capsule/ and phone. The Surgeboard took the lightning strike and died, my 
equipment was protected.

Another protecting my TV & Sound Equipment and Belkin replaced the Surgeboards 
FREE! 
I did not have to even pay for delivery costs of the new units.They were 
virtually replaced overnight.

Their warranty is lifetime, no questions asked. When I setup new clients, I 
make sure they have Belkin Surgeboards protecting all their equipment.

Actually Daniel, I will be getting in touch possibly for another after I check 
out a new Network setup later this week.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: VoIP wireless modem router

On a follow on to that - that's where the Belkin surgeboards are great. They 
generally have a lifetime warranty. And most of them come with a connected 
insurance as well. 
The Belkin products are great. I've got the surgeboards all over the place and 
have gone through about three in the last 9 years and no problems getting them 
replaced pretty much straight away. 
Well worth a look. Even for their modems as well (just to stay on topic) :)

Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Eugene,

I think it is certainly good advice to check out the modem warrantee as 
suggested by Daniel, but there is a possibility that you will be disappointed. 
Some warranties do not cover damage caused by power spikes unless you have a 
surge protector correctly installed. Not trying to be negative but thought I 
would warn you of the possibility.

Cheers,
Carlo

Re: VoIP wireless modem router

Hi Eugene

I'd give Belkin a call as some of their products are covered by long
warranties.

If it's still covered they generally send you out a new one, and in the
interim just use an old ADSL modem (or get a very cheap "spare" one) for
just the ADSL connection.

Kind Regards
Daniel
