Is a router a necessity?
JohnSV:
Don't understand... If the Meraki mesh here doesn't provide the necessary additional? protocol(s) for a 2-way initialization voip, am I not still out of luck? It looks to me that I'm stuck with my telco for incoming calls and use skype for callback and extended outgoing calls... No?
azrobert:
I thought you determined that Meraki was blocking bridged calls. I'm suggesting using your cell connected directly to the Meraki network via WiFi, without the OBi100. Now the call is not bridged and should work, assuming you're correct about bridged calls. You don't need a calling plan on your cell to use it with WiFi.
Another option is to buy an OBi200 with an OBiWiFi dongle then you can connect the OBi200 directly to the Meraki router.
JohnSV:
As I understand the situation, blocking bridged calls is only half my problem. The other and more significant part is that as an ISP they need to provide a SIP or similar protocol as well as a codec in order for me to use a phone with a number that can be called over WiFi. I guess because of bandwidth concerns, they purposely crippled their router. But then again, I love to be set straight on this and use your suggestion...
