Best wireless voip router - accept pstn in and multiple voip out - on one handset

Sorry for the long title
I am after a wireless router if possible that has FXO and FXS port , I want
to plug in one
Dect base station and accept incoming pstn or voip calls and make mainly
outgoing voip calls.
I like the speedtouch 716wl as it has 4 lan ports (I have 3 hardwired pc's)
but am I right in believing
you can only have one Voip account configured on this (couldn't have
voip.co.uk and voipstunt for example)
I also liked the Fritz!box fon wlan as it can have multiple voip accounts
setup but it only has one hardwired lan port ,
so I would also need to buy a switch or hub

Is there anything that will all of these criteria for me ?

Thanks

 

I can thoroughly recommend the Fritz!Box - I have the non-wireless version
and it's been faultless. A small 4/5 port switch will only cost you a
minimal amount, this is what I have done and the ability to set up
multiple accounts (the Fritz will accommodate up to 10) far outweighs the
disadvantage of the small extra cost.

I have a 716g (its predecessor) and you CAN have 2 voip accounts, but
the big however is that they have to be with the same voip provider,
which is what you were saying, I think. Don't know if this has changed
in the 716wl. Multi-account/provider capability can of course be had by
using sip phones, ATAs or an asterisk box.

Pricewise it's not a bad deal, though the fritz!box does look to be a
mighty fine piece of kit.

 

Ivor do you know if its possible to use the lan port as a wan port ??
At the moment I have NTL cable but in next 6 months or so will be going to
adsl
So would like to connect the fritz!box to my existing router until I change
to ADSL

Thanks

 

Thus spaketh Jim:

I'd stay with NTL, especially now they are removing the caps on all
services, a lot less headache than ADSL.

 

Looking like it was Telewest that have taken over NTL in that case
unless of course they feared a backlash from us TW customers if they
had tried to impose any caps on us .

 

Yup, I've done it. The downside is that the LAN port becomes the WAN port,
and no LAN ports are available then. Local PCs can only be connected through
USB and WLAN.
As a matter of fact, if you don't need to network PCs together, a 10MB
Ethernet on USB connection is enough.
Anyway, my PCs were already networked through a 802.11g WLAN (54 MB) P2P
connection before, now the Fritz!Box Fon WLAN is in the equation.
The result is that my network setup is:
- 4 MB Blueyonder BB cablemodem feeding the Fritz LAN port;
- Telewest POTS phone line in the Fritz Analog port;
- Two internal phone lines connected to the two outgoing Fritz Phone ports;
- 6 different VoIP accounts registered and active;
- 2+ PCs 802.11g+ wireless network.
At a price a bit more over 100 quid w/VAT, is a vast improvement in the
available services around the house! Recommended.

P.S. Some of the features I'm using are available only on the last firmware
release, be sure to update the Fritz!Box before doing anything else.

 

It's certainly possible to disable the internal ADSL modem, but the device
I use (the bog standard Fritz!Box Fon) only has one Ethernet port, so it
would be a little difficult with that one..! However I believe the
WLAN7050 has two LAN ports so you should be ok with that one, I'd check
with AVM tech support on www.avm.de/en (click on "service" then "support")
they're usually very good and respond quickly.

Thanks for all the replys

 

I wonder why my ticket with them has been open for over a week then?

I recently bought a 7050 and have been pleased with it, but the lack of
response from AVM and the difficulty of finding online discussion in
English has left me questioning my decision.o

BTW it does have 2 LAN ports and they can be independently routed.

 

That's unusual, I've always had a reply within 24 hours.

What are you trying to find info on..? Maybe I can help.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering about that.

Ivor

 

I want to turn off NAT as I am switching ISPs and will have a
/27 routed to me. Any idea if it is possible and how to do it?

 

Hi Andy ,
I have a Fritz!box winging its way to me from Ebay Germany
Before buying it I checked out having it converted to english and with Annex
A firmware from
this German Forum http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/forumdisplay.php?f=361
They are pretty helpful even if you do have to post in English

 

Err, I thought the hardware was supposed to be marginally different
between versions as well.

 

A converted annex B will work fine on Annex A apparently

 

Be aware that there are certain hardware differences between Annex A and
Annex B devices; while reflashing the firmware *may* work, it is not
guaranteed.

Ivor

 

Could you not top post please, it makes the thread very hard to follow.

Thanks.

Half the time, it's a real PITA to scroll all the way down a message to
read a reply.

In line posting is my personal favourite. I see no real benefit with
either top or bottom posting. I see even less benefit in complaining.

Just my $0.02

Is the OP blind..? He has not mentioned it to my knowledge. If he is, I
apologise, but top posting is still intensely annoying to the majority of
users. It is convention on most groups to trim unnecessary content and
bottom post.

Which is why you trim, not just leave all the message there several times
over in a long thread.

That's the British disease, never complain about anything. Which is one of
the reasons this country is in the state it's in, but that's getting
dangerously off topic even for me, so I'll shut up now..!

Not before time .
