5.0 out of 5 stars Replaced my Linksys beastie with this little wonder..., March 17, 2007

This review is from: D-Link VTA-VR Broadband Telephone Adapter with Vonage (Personal Computers)

I was having some problems with my Linksys Vonage box in that I was getting random, and quite frequent line goes dead in the middle of a conversation. I decided to try this unit as it was quite inexpensive and the rest of my hardware is already D-Link. So, I switched out the Linksys and in with the D-Link and we've not had any dropped calls since.

Its nice that it is small/compact and doesn't take up much space and the wall wart AC adapter is smaller than what it replaced. Hope this one lasts longer than the Linksys box.

This review is from: D-Link VTA-VR Broadband Telephone Adapter with Vonage (Personal Computers)

I've had the D-Link VTA-VR VoIP adapter for about 6 months now.

The big thing this adapter has going for it is size. Barely bigger than a pack of smokes, it packs a full dual-line VoIP capability. The ports on the back are line 1, line 2, ethernet, and power. What more do you need? A built-in ethernet switch might be handy, but would add size and weight, which I don't need either of.

As for Vonage's customer service; I have yet to talk to a human! Everything can be accomplished through their website, including checking voicemail, adding a second line, and setting up an email notification when you get a voicemail. I have yet to run into an issue that couldn't be handled easily, by myself, over their website.

The sound quality on this is no better or worse than a POTS line (plain old phone service) (what you'd get from a landline carrier). Calls are placed and received reliably, and there is no problem using my cordless phone and Fax machine over the VoIP system.

No more long-distance fees, portability (my number can go with me wherever there's an ethernet drop), and a very useful customer-service website... what more could you ask for?

This was a recommended router by Vonage, with whom I've been a customer for almost five years. I had an outdated phone converter and needed to buy a replacement unit. I bought this online, followed the simple instructions on the box - since I already had a Vonage account there was no new setup - and voila, two minutes later I had a dial tone. How nice.
