Re: router for VOIP??

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Diana,

That's good, thanks for letting WAMUG know.
I would suspect that Daniel would have setup as I mentioned at the bottom of my 
reply back in Nov. 2010. Connect BoB to the Time Capsule’s Ethernet WAN port 
(set the TC to Bridge Mode so as not to get double NAT). 
And Use the Time Capsule Dual Band for all your wireless needs (turn the BoB 
wireless OFF). 
VoIP will / should still work when BoB wifi is turned off, VoIP does not run 
over wifi per se.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni

We are using B0B2 with VoIP and Time Capsule. Set up by Daniel, he suggested we 
get BoB2. Works fine.

Hi Rosemary,

> with Time Machine?

That 'someone' was me :) But my reply to Peter Crisp was back on 26 November 
2010, so iiNet/Westnet BoB 'might' have changed its specifications & be 
improved by now. I have not researched the new BoB. 
I seem to remember that WAMUG member Rod Blitvich might be using iiNet's BoB & 
VoIP with a Time Capsule.

Hi Peter,

I was clearing our my Drafts Mailbox, and found I had started a reply to your 
query back in October :-(
You have probably found all the answer by now, but I'll post what I was going 
to reply anyway.

I don't think I would not recommend using BoB with a Time Capsule, I'll explain 
my reasons below.

I'll first answer your query "What is BoB"? BoB’s an 802.11n router with an 
in-built ADSL2+ modem. To be specific, it’s a Belkin modem/router, with shared 
branding between iiNet and Belkin. Wireless support is in the 2.4GHz range 
only, and it’s a dual-radio router. Not a dual-band router. Instead of getting 
a 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio, you instead get two 2.4GHz radios, one of which is 
disabled by default.

BoB’s also VoIP capable with PSTN passthrough, and up to two accounts can be 
configured, although only via one provider. Not surprisingly, iiNet would 
prefer that you choose it as the provider. 

BoB is only a 10/100 (100Mbps) LAN Ethernet …. NOT 1Gbps that Time Capsule has.
BoB only uses 2.4GHz NOT 5GHz

1TB Time Capsule has a One Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for connecting a DSL or 
cable modem
Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices
USB port for connecting a USB printer or USB external hard drive
802.11n wireless

>  
> Does anyone have this configuration and experiences please?

I don't know of anyone using BoB with a Time Capsule. The only way I can see to 
get this working.
Is to disable WiFi on BoB, and use the WiFi on the Time Capsule.

Connect BoB to the Time Capsule’s Ethernet WAN port (set the TC to Bridge Mode 
so as not to get double NAT). 
And Use the Time Capsule Dual Band for all your wireless needs (turn the BoB 
wireless OFF). 

VoIP will / should still work when BoB wifi is turned off, VoIP does not run 
over wifi per se.

router for VOIP??

[Rosemary Spark]

We were considering getting VOIP but were wondering what kind of
modem/router to get. We have a Netcom NB5 plus 4W at the moment.

As we use a Time Machine it doesn't need to to be wireless.

We're with westnet at the moment (in Beaconsfield) where the advertised
speeds are a joke.

I seem to remember someone suggesting that Bob wasn't a good idea combined
with Time Machine?
