Endless loop setting up the OBi100

<< < (3/6) > >>

BeeBee:
Thanks, but still no go.  (And the authentication is correct.)  If nothing else, this is making me lose my intimidation over the OBi settings pages.  Is there a repository where I might legitimately download a later firmware (if any)?  I called a friend back home with an OBi 110 with Build 2872, and he can "configurate" just fine.  (And I assume the 110 firmware couldn't be used on the 100.)

Yes, the "110 firmware" works for the 1xx series including the OBi100. You can download it from here:
http://fw.obihai.com/OBi110-1-3-0-2872.fw

After downloading the 2872 firmware, go to System Management>System Update in your OBi web interface. Under Firmware Update browse to the file and install the update. After your OBi reboots you should be able to configure Google Voice on the Obitalk web portal.
I manually updated my OBi110 to 2872 without issue but keep in mind there is always a small chance that when updating your firmware something could go wrong and "brick" your OBi.

BeeBee:
Yes, I had ultimately decided to roll the dice and do precisely that, as spending another whole day to get phone service up and running wouldn't have been worth it.  And after a final hiccup or two, the OBi100 is working well again.  Just wanted to stop back in and thank everyone who posted for your help along the way.

zorlac:
Thanks for the positive confirmation BeeBee.
I find it a bit insidious that obi hasn't made a formal announcement on the position of paid firmware updates.  :-\
I wonder when the older revs will get pulled from the site or just stop working with the web portal or various voice services.  >:(
The mention of paid ongoing FW upgrades past the first year should at least be in the fine print of the website or on the box.

aliron:
Mine still isn't working--was there anything else you did BeeBee? Mine still says service not configured after I updated the firmware, undid the changes previously suggested, and went through the obitalk.com google voice setup. My obi100 used to work but then I changed my gmail password and now it won't work anymore

Edit: Nevermind, reset it to factory defaults and it works now
