OBI 202 using GV - cordless phone will not ring and corded phone short ring
giqcass:
I believe the codes you entered should ring all ports as long as you didn't change the defaults. You said the Panasonic is plugged into the wall Jack. Did you hook the OBi outgoing telephone port into the homes wiring?
I do not mean the cables that connect the internet. Which OBi do you have?
Rick:
I agree with lhm. Forget the wall jack. Plug ONE phone into the OBi and see if it rings. If yes, unplug it and try the other phone. If yes, now you know the issue is the wall jack - come back and tell us.

Thanks for everyones help. I removed the batteries from all my cordless phones and unplugged the chargers, then inserted batteries and charged phones. I have several corded phones in my 4 level house, so as suggested, i eliminated a couple older phones and i pleased to say all my phones ring normally.
I am using the wireless adapter on the obi202 and i am not always connected to the internet via my subscribed cable company. I had previous read a recommendation to purchase motorola DOCSIS 3.0 (D3) modem and netgear WNDR-3700 wireless router. Does anyone have an opinion on wheather i should consider upgrading my modem and/or linksys wireless router?
I really appreciate your response! :)
Rick:
I don't know what removing batteries has to do with anything. What was suggested was that you verify each phone (or wireless base) works properly connected directly to the OBi 202 - not to a wall jack. Once you verified that each phone worked (or didn't), we suggested you come back and we work on getting phones that are plugged into a wall jack (i.e. not wireless) working. Apparently you decided to approach it differently.
Your issue with the 202 not being connected to the internet all the time is totally different. You need to explain more.
How do you currently connect to the internet via your cable company? What is the cable modem you use? What is the wireless router you use? Do you lose the connection on computers that are connected wirelessly, or just on the OBi 202?
The cable modem you use should have no impact on the 202's connectivity, since it's on the other side of the router and should be connected to the internet 24/7.
The wireless router you use may, or may not have problems, but again - you need to isolate it from the OBi and verify whether it works wirelessly for your computers, smartphones, etc.
JeanneO:
The cable modem used is provided from the midcontinent cable company and does not have a model number.
The wireless router is a linksys wrt320n which has 4 ethernet ports. Today when i unplugged SP2 from OBI, i lost connection on it but not on the computer. Although i do at times loose computer connection.
I am wondering if it would help to upgrade equipment. Internet is currently very slow and i do not want to loose phone service.
