Thunderbird i am a newbie , that info is confusing, my head is spinning, i would not know how to start to configure router, i have a netgear router, so i would put ooma hub in one of the free router ports and see if there is a qos in the router setup and enable or disable it.?

Yes, plug a cable from one of the four router ports to the Ooma device.

Enable QoS in router. Disable QoS in Ooma device.

Note: some newer routers will provide QoS automatically without need to enable QoS.

I would probably wait and try the replacement Ooma device.

Thunderbird,

Yes I did everything you suggested including suggestion 1d setting it to 0K/0K (disabling QoS), as well 2K above and 4K above rated speeds for up and down, absolutely no difference.

My tested speed to speedtest.net is 24Mbs down and 7.5Mbs up.

Please remember the problem is intermittent, meaning some numbers work and other don't. When the number fails, it always fails, so it is a consistent and repeatable failure.

Because some numbers work and others don't, this points to a problem at Ooma and their carrier exchange points and not at the individual Telo or the ISP being used by the customer.

I believe I can consistently recreate the problem on your unit if you want. Sign up for a free Google Voice account and get a number and we can do a little testing and I can show you how it will fail.

Cheers!

- Steve

I recieved my new ooma hub yesterday, and the same thing happens, i hope they send out new hubs and not refurbished? i had a ticket open for them to check the carrier, now i have only 2 numbers that dont work,also when i hooked up my old box which is a month and a half old it would get stuck on speaker-brightness-pager light blinking, waited half hour and they still blink. But the new hub boots up pretty quick.

Hello And Merry Christmas To All,

It must have been a carrier issue because i got my new ooma hub and had the same issue, so i returned the one they sent me because it was a refurb, and mine was only a month and a half old, i then called their tech support and spoke with level 2 and told them the numbers i was having problems with, and today so far the numbers i was having problems with are working, "THANK GOD" finally ooma seems flawless, will report if i have more issues, but i,m happy with ooma today and what a coincidence its my birthday!!!!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a great day,

Goooo Oooooma!!!!!!!!
