ungrounded HUM/static sound with new router

<< < (3/3)

Lk96,

I got the IP address, but not sure where to find the Obi management page with a Status taht i can click.

From the Obi Dashboard there is a status field that shows my home phone as being active.

when clicking on my Home phone, it takes me to a page that has Service Provider 1 and 2.

Only #1 is configured and i can click to edit this, but this doesn't show statistics and nothing that indicates I'm on the Management page.

Thank you,
stephen

Stewart,

Voltage leakage makes sense.

YES, I hear the hum even not going over VoIP.  The hum is there even with the dial tone, then after selecting 1... and, the hum does get louder when I grasp the coiled handset cord.

I tried flipping the power supply upside down - same hum.

In this situation, both modems need to be returned.  The "Old" modem is still within refund period as well as the "New" one.  The problem with my "Old" one is that it intermittently drops wireless signal throughout the day (sometimes works all day, sometimes can't connect for 5-20 minutes at a time - this is the 2nd replacement and all had the same problem).

Model of the "New" - Belkin N750 DB
Model of the "Old" - Monoprice MS-WN512N1

Now to find another "new" modem.  Maybe one that supports Tomato (that seems a popular topic on this forum).

Any recommendations on a reliable modem appreciated.

Thank  you,
Stephen

Ps: also tried D-link Xtreme N+300 – it had several problems and very low signal strength

Good place to go for such a question.

You just point your browser at the IP address you got. So if your Obi is at 192.168.0.10,
then at the place where you normally enter an http address to go to a web page, you just
enter the IP address.
