Problem w/Obi 100 & DD-WRT router
rfgenerator:
This just gets curiouser and curiouser. I tried Milkfish and it did not work. However the issue is now resolved but as to why I have no idea. Previously I had the Obi100 plugged directly into the DD-WRT router and this yielded very poor performance. What worked in the end was I moved the Obi100 and the phone to another part of the house and plugged it into a network hub that in itself was connected via Cat5 to the DD-WRT router. Once I plugged the Obi into the hub it worked beautifully. With the Obi I was using the exact same phone. The piece of Cat 5 cable that I used w/the Obi was the same that I used to previously connect the Obi to the DD-WRT router. The only thing that changed was I was about 15 feet away and plugged into a network hub that was itself connected via Cat 5 to the DD-WRT router. I'm happy that it is working, just confused as to why. Any ideas?

Possibly the port on the router was bad. I had something similar a while back.
