Is A 202 worth the cost If I already use two 110's?
BillDoe:
I'm trying to determine if the update in features and technology is worth the cost of replacing two 110's (one for each phone number)with one 202?
I mostly get the benefits of the two phone ports, etc., but from a spec/performance standpoint is it really a meaningful performance upgrade or just a single devide with a few more bells and whistles?
SteveInWA:
The "performance" increase is only important as far as the 200 series devices' ability to support some additional features and expanded capacity (e.g. supporting four different service providers vs. two for the 100 series). The "performance" of the 100 series is already sufficient for VoIP telephone calling.
The current 200 series ATAs do not have a jack to connect the devices to the PSTN (POTS, or plain old telephone service). If you aren't using that function today (e.g. not bridging VoIP calls with land line or other service provider calls via that jack), then you won't lose any functionality by upgrading.
If your 110 devices already work fine today, and you don't need the extra features of the 200 series, then there is no reason to upgrade. If one of your 110s goes bad, then that would be the time to get a 202.

Seems a bit strange to include the EOL Obi110 and still no mention of the replacement.

I carefully chose my words: "...is updating...", meaning, the website work is in progress, not finished. Don't assume anything about the future product line from that.

Thanks Steve.
I would only consider the buy if there's enough of an improvement in performance (ie., fewer dropped calls) than I suffered with the 110's early on. I don;t know if the 110's have gotten any better as I use my cell for 99% of my calling now and only use the VOIP landline as a backup or emergency number for our alarm company.
Also the ability to only have one unit vs 2, only one router port occupied instead of two, etc. Would my router speed increase if its only supplying to one unit vs two?
