Trouble with my Nettalk Duo being choppy,.Nettalk said linkys router may be issue. Like to run the modem directly to duo and to router, Yes?

It's possible that the switch can interfere with the speed needed to have smooth VoIP, unlikely but possible. If your router has extra ports available, then by all means, directly connect the Nettalk Duo to a router port. If your router has any priority settings, you may want to set the priority of the port the Nettalk Duo is plugged into higher. Hope this helps!

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

I have an earlier model of this kind of netgear router and the issue could also be the mode its broadcasting in. I have a 50mbps(which i get went physically hooked in) plan and my wireless was capping out at 15(depending on the mode i could get up to 30), so when i checked there were modes of broadcasting to how fast it would transmit.

Gail's reply does not make sense to me. I used a router (SMC 3605T) excellently for over 3 years, and some weeks ago it suddently started buzzing intermittently- NEVER had a problem w. connectivity. Over the past weekend I went out and bought the Netgear. Soon after it started doing the same thing. Called Netgear, and they told me to change to another power plug - only. Really deep.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

I had the same problem. I was able to connect it to my router and to my phone via tethering. The module worked ok only for 6 hours and then stopped working. After a reboot to the system, the control panel continuously rebooted with an error message until the module was removed. Since I had another control panel with the same module that worked OK, I have filed a claim to return the item as I consider it defective. I will get another one.

I notice my internet speeds lower if I use the cm but it's still pretty fast. Try rebooting both of them. Unplug plug back in etc

router loaded ok(CD) worked great for one day, then needed repeated restarts. Bought the "refurbished" maybe that's the trouble. Need to research the troubles with it. If there is a fix, should fix b4 shipping

BasicTalk Mine was bad too so I got BasicTalk and love it it rings all 8 of my phones With NetTalk there is no tech support. I was amazed at BasicTalk plugged it in and worked right away nd I can unplg if need be and plg it back in with no problem I tossed the nettalk one thing you cn rty is unplug your router plug in the nettalk then after a minute plug your router back in. I got it to work one day but it went out the next day.

While I haven't used either I can tell you two of my past three Netgear routers have died on me. For that reason alone I am choosing Linksys over Netgear this time.

Check out this thread. http://community.linksys.com/t5/Print-Servers/WPS54GU2-and-Windows-7/td-p/337367 IIRC, I worked off of this thread, but it was a bit of a job with windows 7. I still had some connectivity/funtionality issues until I assigned a static IP address to the device. Also, google for drivers for the wps54gu - there may be something new out there by now.

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.

I just had this Modem hooked up. I have yet to get my Xbox live to work. It seems that when I try to get the DNS it always fails. Also my wife said her laptop was disconnected from the internet, when I tried to connect to Xbox live. I noticed that the Modem itself had to be reset.I was able to connect with my PS3 to the Playstation Network, but that was another story.

Hi Vespasian - I did have issues but what I found is that you have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY patient. I'm running the latest firmware (V2.0.5?) and for the longest time unplugged the device as I felt it degrgated my network performance and introduce other issues (i.e. I had issues connecting to the router that it the Sabrent was connected to). Today I decided to give it another shot. I ran SpeakEasy speed test (10x) on both routers that I have, the plugged in the Sabrent to the router (U-verse so it's the one "DSL modem" as well). The Sabrent showed it was connected to the router & I could access the internet on my laptop when connected to the Sabrent, working as a host. I then attempted to connect my laptop directly to the router which the Sabrent was connected and I couldn't - but I could when connected to the other router. I was ready to downgrade to V2.0.1 but on the time it took me to download and switch things around the issue magically resolved itself. YMMV but for the last few hours I have been able to access the internet on both routers (w/o going through the Sabrent) as well as stream music to multiple devices. There is still an issue with lag between my Airplay devices (laptop and jailbreaked iPhone 3GS running AirFloat which turns that into a receiver). Just be patient - my experience is that this isn't the fastest devices but in time my issues were resolved. Good luck.

YES! I've reported this to Netgear support and all they want me to do is keep sending them proof of purchase information and what not, and not addressing the issue! I had a batch of routers come stock with firmware versions 1.2.0.16_40.0.66 & 1.2.0.32_40.0.74 and both give insanely poor wireless speed tests, barely over 1M. After I installed firmware version 1.2.0.28_40.0.72, then wireless speed tests matched wired tests. Hope this was helpful to anyone having the same issues!

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.
