Re: @home features
FWIW, I've just had to reboot my T-mobile VOIP router - ironically while I was typing a note on person's blog about my problems porting my landline number over.
While typing, my Yahoo Messenger went offline. I couldn't visit or ping any external website. I couldn't log into the t-mobile/Linksys VOIP router, I could not ping my DSL modem.
I power cycled the VOIP router, everything is fine again.
Now that I think about it, I had a similar problem a few days ago but that cleared up by itself after ~ 5 mins. (That time I was able to log into my DSL modem and diagnotics on it all passed so it wasn't the problem then either).
Bugs in the router or the T-mobile service? (I'm thinking the router)
Lastly, porting of my landline has been unsuccessful as of yet though when I called yesterday (the day it was supposed to be completed) they 'took care of everything and it should work now'. Today I called I was put on hold for 25 mins, then got an operator that said that the number transfer dept. closed 15 mins ago!
I'm happy with the quality of the service. Hopefully things will just keep getting better. |

| Another FWIW. The firmware for this router is no longer on Linksys website.
Since this is a router specific to T-Mobile,I wonder if all firmware updates will be obtained from T-Mobile from now on.
(I saw something similar posted regarding their SPA900 product) |

| Thanks Jon. All good stuff to know and keep in mind. My next upgrade isn't until April so maybe a lot of these issues will be taken care of. *fingers crossed* I will just keep up with reading other people's experiences til then.
Thanks for posting, Rosie |

Took 4 calls on separate days, but finally my landline number is ported. Yay! Now I can cancel my extra phone line AND cancel long distance on the main line. |

Ventura, CA | Had to power cycle the Linkys TM VOIP router today.
Wife called and said she couldn't get on the internet and the blue light was out.
This happened about 10 days ago. Others are having similar problems. |
