Connect Obi200 through a PC wireless
SteveInWA:
This really seems like far too much complexity to connect an OBi to a network. Aside from the technology challenges, trying to run a VoIP phone over an institution's shared WiFi network will be unreliable and subject to dropouts and distortion, or at worst, frequent disconnects.
If you must, just do what Geoff already mentioned: get an OBiWiFi 5G dongle.

By the way, Captel service is typically free, depending on the state, paid out of the Federal USF fee.

Both the OBi device and the Captel device need Internet access. The Captel device has built-in WiFi.

FYI. OBi2182 has inbuilt WIFI and BT connectivity for cell phones, headsets, etc.
I don't know if this Arduino project would connect and work, but it might be worth reading.

We've been recently buying 2182's from Amazon for $50-$59 /ea

I have full size "flat" USB cables. I use mini-USB cables to wire pressure sensors into volt-oil pressure gauges. I use ethernet cables to connect the pickups to my ignition system. Non-traditional uses, I know.
The DD-WRT solution will not work as I do not have access physically to the modem and I doubt they will let me change the modem software. This is why I need a PC or raspberry to connect to their WiFi.
I looked at the ObiWiFi adapter information PDF but it gives no information on how the connection to the wireless modem is made. No point in buying more equipment with only guesses that it will work. The modem has a password and since there is no way to input one from the Obi200 or the Obi-WiFi I doubt it will be able to make the connection, hence the PC or raspberry in between.
I found the administration guide under the DOCS which might give some answers. Their "data sheet" is merely advertisement.
The raspberrypi.org description of a wired access point or bridged access point both have the raspberry wired to the modem and wireless to the client.
The phone is a Captel 800 which does not have WiFi.

You are completely wrong about that.

Method 2: See screenshot.

You're also wrong about DD-WRT.
