Guess I need break out another Ethernet cable and get this little piece of house-keeping done.

Could you explain this please?murphy wrote:Connect your computer to the Home port of the Ooma box to access the setup page.
While there configure it to use the built-in MAC address. Forward port 80 to 172.27.35.1.
Once that is done you will be able to connect to the setup page by accessing the IP address that your router assigns to the Ooma box.
Do NOT put your Ooma box in front of your router with that port forward in place since it allows anyone in the world to access your setup page.
This statement has me a bit concerned about by Hub's settings. The Automatic MODEM Port MAC Address is that of my cable modem, which is connected to the MODEM port.lbmofo wrote:lbmofo wrote:I'd do the following:

Change the ooma setting to Use Built in Modem Port MAC address
Ooma is setup to automatically spoof the MAC address of whatever is connected to the home port. For most people, this works fine but this configuration sometimes creates throughput problems and voice quality issues.
What should I do regarding the "down stream" settings--- what value should I assign?lbmofo wrote:I'd do the following:

Connect to the ooma device setup page (http://setup.ooma.com) from a computer connected to the “Home” port of ooma or through a router connected behind ooma.
Click on the Network tab.
Click on the radio button that says Use built in MAC address.
Click on Update.
Turn off modem, ooma, and Router.
Turn on modem and wait until it syncs with your ISP.
Turn on Ooma and wait till it completes start up.
Turn on the router.
Setup QoS (Quality of Service)
Steps:
• Measure upstream speed a few times from http://www.speedtest.net/ at different times of the day and note the average; mark that down by 15 to 20%. Let’s say you measured average of 2 Mbps; then shaving 20% off, you get 1.6 Mbps.
• Open the Ooma setup page by browsing to http://setup.ooma.com from a computer connected behind the "HOME" port of ooma.
• Select "Advanced" on the navigation menu and look for the "Quality of Service" section on the page. In the "Upstream Internet Speed" textbox, type in your result. Note: The units on the setup page are in kilobits per second (kbps), so you would enter 1600 for the example above.
• After typing in the value, click on Update button to save the changes.
