[SOLVED] No audio incoming calls - outgoing OK - even after re-set - GV

What do I think? I think you should stop posting the same stuff here and on the Google Voice forum. Given that it works at home, it is obvious that there is nothing whatsoever wrong with your OBi device, nor with Google Voice. Your problem is the office. Get rid of the router completely. Plug an Ethernet switch into the office network, and plug your stuff into the switch. We don't need post after post asking more questions and supplying more details about how it used to work, because it's irrelevant.

So Steve, don't you also think that if Obihai/Polycom wants their customers to use Obihai solution problem-free w/o constant troubleshooting and insanity (sorry, that's Einstein's definition, not mine) of doing same thing and expecting and indeed getting different results, Obihai engineering could've define a BKM of configuring a router. If not all of them (which is likely) would do, then choosing one or a few which work and post the model/config data?
A customer just shared his troubleshooting data. He also proved that the problem in his case may (just may, not for sure is) be with his office router. Why being rude? Not thankful...
I maybe live in a different world. In my world the SW is mission critical. With system downtime resulting in liabilities and big $$$.
Is old&good SW testing to avoid intermittent bugs we all see (with OBI) no more? Is old&good SW support no more?

Steve and not_obi_happy - You are both correct.
The IT guy at my day job lent me a very old switch from the used equipment junkpile (max 10 mbps, wide enough for a WWII equipment rack, with a noisy fan and vacuum tubes).
Now, in my wife's mini-office, and with everything plugged into it (external ethernet, router and Obi200), everything works!!!!!
So, when GoogleVoice changed its technology a few weeks ago, something about the new technology did not agree with my Westell 7500 router. I suppose we'll never know what is the exact problem.
A few questions:
As the Obihai 200 is now "out in front" directly connected to the network provided by the mini-office company, and no longer behind my Westell 7500 router, it is presumably accessible by anyone else on this network. What are the real-world risks?
On the one hand, that Westell 7500 router has its Firewall Settings set to "No Security (All Traffic is Allowed)" so maybe isn't doing much blocking anyway. On the other hand, the Obihai was NOT getting an IP address from the network of the mini-office company.
Should I now change the "Webpage Admin Password"? of the Obihai 200?I don't want to use this slow dinosaur-with-a-fan of a used switch, so I will need a new switch with higher speeds. Although this mini-office's max speed to the internet is 100Mbps, you'll probably recommend a switch that goes to 1Gbps. What are your recommended makes and models for a compact "plug it in and forget about it baby" switch? And not expensive - which is why I recycled my Westell 7500.
Thanks.

Is $17 cheap enough for you?
