What other people think about Motorola VT1005v Phone Adaptor for Vonage Internet Phone Service?
Vonage is good, this VTA is not
If you are considering using Vonage, avoid this router. On my network it would occasionally cause the WAN connection to drop (although my LAN connection would be fine). This meant I couldn't access the Internet sporadically. When I removed the VT1005v from my network, it worked fine. It did not matter if I had the unit in front of the firewall or behind it.
If you put the unit in front of your firewall, you'll run into a host of other problems. Its port forwarding interface is awful with very few options, and the DMZ option it gives doesn't work.
When the system was not dropping my Internet connection, it worked fine. I have no complaints with Vonage. This phone adapter, on the other hand, is terrible.
Vonage Service Outstanding
We've been using Vonage in our home for a little more than 2 years now. We recently upgraded from the Motorola Unit to the Linksys unit with the built in wirless router capability. The features that are included are awesome! The only time we ever experienced problems it turned out our broadband service was running far slower than was promised by the provider causing Vonage to not sound clear. Once they cleared that up it was back to normal. Despite what some people say we also have our Tivo and MovieBeam unit hooked up to Vonage and they work flawlessly. This Device and Service are highly recommended.
