Best wireless ATA/Router for Blueface?

[Jack The Lad]

Found out about Blueface here on AAM, and have been trying them out on a "pay as you go" basis through my PC and Permanet Broadband. So far, I'm very impressed with the service, and reckon I could save about €350 per year on phone bills.

So the next step is to buy an ATA/Router.

I have two questions...

I would like to buy a good quality ATA/Router, by which I mean, one that delivers decent sound quality (no echoes, etc) and is super reliable. So far I am looking at a Linksys WRP400 wireless ATA/Router (€125) or the cheaper Camrivox Flexor 151 ATA/Router (€75). Is the linskys worth the difference, or is there another I should consider?

I have three phones in the house. They are all wired to a central point, and then to the Eircom box. Can I just run a phone cable from the router to this central point and use any of the phones as before, or am I limited to one phone only?


Would appreciate advice from anyone with an opinion - thank you!

I just signed up to Blueface on moving to a new house. Getting rid of the line rental was the motivation.

With my new Siemens C450 IP phone unit connected directly to the NTL cable mode, everything works as advertised.

However, when I connect a D-Link DI-624 wireless router to the modem, then hang the phone off that, the incoming voice stream is completely corrupted (but not the outgoing...). I have been told this is likely due to how the wireless router is set up. I am still trying to figure out what to do now...

I suppose I am saying that even if you have a fair idea of computers etc, this stuff is not intuitive, so you'd better have a friend who knows their stuff if it doesn't work. Blueface support seems to offer rather generic solutions, but I need some practical, on the ground help on his one.
