-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rtesdall Yes, Iggy it's a small adapter with two phone ports on the back. I have been able to connect to the TiVo service through Vonage for the initial setup, but when I try to connect to the TiVo service and get the latest software update (7.x), the connection fails about 10 minutes into the download. I've used the "test settings" command and it always passes with no problems.
Vonage service is based on the broadband of your ISP and if there is a Net traffic bottle neck you'll have a fluctuation in the pone signal. I spend a lot of time on the phone (I am in real estate) and get many incoming and outgoing calls from different parts of the country. I noticed that sometimes (at least 1-2 time per day with extensive usage) the voice connection goes down - I cannot hear the person or they cannot hear me. At the same time my e-mail download stops - I can see it since I've tested it - the download progress stops. I think this related to your ISP - the Net traffic just stops for 5-10 seconds and this somehow can effect your download of programming. It takes sometimes 10-20 minutes I think. This is just enough for the internet connection to go down and your Vonage signal disrupts. Also, if you have a wireless router that is connected to the modem and then your Vonage Router is connected to the wireless router, this can be a problem. Put your Vonage router first and then feed off wireless router off it. But since you have a little phone adapter this would not work - I take you have to plug it into the router? - is yours wireless or Ethernet router? I talked to Vonage people about it and they told me that the regular Vonage router (with several ports) is designed to be in front of the Wireless router. Don't know how this related to the little phone adapter. I'd try it several more times at different times of the day, do it manually and see if it works. If not, then the only option you'll have is networking. "Testing" shows OK, but this just tests the phone line and for a short time 1-30 seconds your ISP connection can be OK, however on longer term you may get a failure.
