    Ooma Telo Free Home Phone Service (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

    • At first I thought it was my wireless router and poor Wifi signals, but after doing some network speed tests, and trying a hard wired connection to my router, I figured out that it was my Ooma TeloAfter a lot of troubleshooting, I determined that the default upstream Quality-of-Service (QoS) setting on the Ooma Telo is set to 512 Kbps up.
    • But for DVD players, telephone service, and home video surveillance.....put in the extra effort and hard wire
    • I do not recommend the wireless add-on for the Telo, the entire system is much better when hard wired.
    • No ugly wires this way, nor is my phone system taking up valuable counter space or filling up my entertainment center.
    • I do not recommend the wireless add-on for the Telo, the entire system is much better when hard wired.
    • There is a slight call connection delay vis-a-vis a hard-wired phone, I had to learn to count to two before saying Hello
    • Call quality is as good as the copper wire
    • Problem is the Ooma Unit has to be hard wired to my Router.....on the other side of the house.
    • We are using an Apple Airport Extreme router with a a second Airport Extreme configured as a wifi extender, with a very strong signal but the Ooma Telo Air (which uses wifi rather than a hard wired connection) is now dropping the signal more often than not.
    • This unit does best behind a router, hard wired in.
    • A free service as ituses your existing cable service, and all national calls are as free as e-mail
