I've never had MoCA *not* work.

Just looked - this is a power adapter (different model number), not what I wanted which is model WBP54G - any suggestions where to find this model number?

thx

Sorry, bad link. I suspect you can still find some WBP54G in the channel.

anon posted : thank you for this information - v.helpful!. I did look on Amazon, saw the posting, but didn't look like any were available when I tried to check out. Will check again.

If I can find one, when I plug it in, it will be downstairs and I work upstairs. Will this cause issues?

I've got Comcast cable and vonage coming off of it. We have 1 internet phone port in the house and the vonage phone is plugged in there. I just started a job where they've given me a VoIP phone and a second VoIP phone number. I don't understand enough about the technology to understand how to do this.

The new VoIP directions say that I can set up a wireless connection using the WBP54G wireless bridge which is now no longer made.

any ideas how I can set this up?

So, I take it that you don't have an Ethernet port near where you would like to place the IP phone. Instead of looking for a wireless solution, why not try a powerline adapter (such as these: »www.amazon.com/ZyXEL-HomePlug-Po···V3L0GN)?

ropeguru posted : Ok, I have done this using my regular linksys wireless and then configured a Belkin router as a client wireless device using dd-wrt. This allowed the wireless on the belkin to connect as a client to the Linksys wireless then I plugged my cisco phone into one of the Belkin's wired ports and all worked fine. It was the only device so I didn't have any issues.

anon posted : Yes, I do own a router - Cisco 800 series and Lynksys WRT120N. Second IP phone is CISCO SPA 504G. Phone will be away from modem/router (e.g. home office upstairs, modem/router downstairs).

Looking forward to your thoughts!....

mgraves1 posted : The WBP54G is a wireless bridge that's intended to allow a SIP hard phone to connect to a normal Wifi network.

While that device may not be current, they are still available. Cheap, too.
