Not really. This is the first mention of a land line (PSTN?) with no long distance at all. I assume the land line is by a local provider, separate from the phones connected to the obi??
If folks are dialing your land line number then the obi will not ring at all. If folks are dialing your gv # then a phone attached to the obi will ring, as well as any forwarding numbers (landline??) defined and set active in the google account.
So are you saying your land line no longer rings when people are calling your gv #? Is the land line number still defined in your gv profile as a forwarding number, and is it enabled for forwarding?
Perhaps the clue is the second line of the opening post!
Maybe Redw00d thinks that the two RJ11 jacks on the 202 work the same way as they did on his previous OBi. :(

From
"I used a 110 for Many years... wonderful"
From that you're able to decipher that the FXO port on that device is in use and has issues receiving calls?? Note the subject of this thread, obi202, not obi110!.
I tip my hat off to you... Unsubscribing.

I'm not surmising that the 110 is still in use. I'm thinking that Redw00d had the PSTN line plugged in to the LINE port of his 110. When people called his landline number the phone plugged in to that OBi would ring. Now he is using an OBi202 and appears* to be saying that when people call his landline number the phone plugged in to the 202 does not ring. Quelle surprise.

Redw00d:
wow, So much to cover, HOPE I get them all:
1. Nope, no obi110 connected at all now.
2. new obi202, Both phones rang (land line AND obi202) worked for about a week or so...
3. no, NO landline plugged into obi202... landline to ONE phone... not cordless... obi202 connected to walk around phones...
4. landline is ATT, no long distance
5. "
If folks are dialing your land line number then the obi will not ring at all.... well, it DOESN"T now, That's what i"m trying to Fix... they Both worked, both rang, could pickup either phone, when someone called my home/land line number... Just as it did, for years, with obi110...
6. "So are you saying your land line no longer rings when people are calling your gv #? Is the land line number still defined in your gv profile as a forwarding number, and is it enabled for forwarding?"
NObody calls my gv#... NObody... and, Yes, I do Believe, land line is correctly enabled... because it all worked... until it didn't, withOut me making any changes... could an UPdate change?
7. I do appriciate all of your time... I have started from scratch, over and over, new googlevoice id's, changed, etc, etc... now, I do try Hard to follow suggestions, but, I have NO idea what all this stuff means.. you guys are some kinda geniouses.... my problem seems Simple, get my obi202 to work like it did a couple weeks ago, call my ONLY known number, ring landline And walkaround hooked to the obi202.
am I Missing something here?
thanks again

What you are missing is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a call to your AT&T landline number to ring your GV number (and hence the portable phone plugged in to your OBi202) unless you have a "forward" of some kind on that AT&T number. Nothing you configure on your OBi202, nothing you configure in your settings at voice.google.com, no bug fix by Obihai or Google, no feature that Obihai or Google could introduce can alter that fact.
If you wanted the same functionality you had with the Obi110 you should have purchased an Obi212.
The OBiLINE accessory plugs in to the USB port on the 202 and enables you to connect a PSTN line. However there are reports that its performance, especially with regard to echo, is less satisfactory than is attainable with the OBi110.
If you still have the Obi110, there is an easy solution. Connect the 110 to the PSTN line, the fixed phone, your router and power it up. Configure it to fork incoming calls to both that fixed phone and to the OBi202. Incoming calls on the AT&T number will ring both phones and you can answer on either.
