Hello,
I know this is a small concern given so many point of failures with voip.
This my set up: Cable Modem[SB5101] => Router[wrt54g] =>[connected with a long 25' Ethernet cable] ooma hub => Panasonic DECT 6
So just to simulate what happens if there is a network outage, i tried unplugging the Ethernet cable. Omma tab was blue for several minutes I tested and it even gave me a dial tone. I had to 'reboot' the hub to make it realize that the it wasn't connected to internet. I then plugged the Ethernet cable back in and the omma didn't recognize the active connection, it took a 'reboot' of the hub to recognize the internet presence.
However, plugging back the cable before the reboot the first time worked as it made the call.
Is this a known issue? Has someone with the same set up has this issue? How about someone who has the omma hub infront of the router and directly behind the modem?
