New Product: OBi200 + New OBiWiFi Set-Up

<< < (2/4) > >>

Ostracus:
Would be something if an ObiWifi allowed one to turn that "Internet" port into a LAN port.

Mango:
Will this product be available to Canadians, at prices competitive to those at American retailers?  I just checked and the OBi100 is currently $39 with free shipping in the USA, but $55+shipping in Canada.  We love OBis too!!

I presume that you could use the internet port to program the OBi200 after enabling the WAN port for that use via touchtone.

I do not want to spoil the party, but I do not understand the advantages of this device. Why would somebody skip or downgrade from Obi 202, where you get for a few dollars more 2 phone lines?!
If you need a more basic smaller and cheaper device, Obi100 does the job for far less. I wish obi would have listened to improvement suggestions made on this forum rather than creating this. (Okay, I will not compare it to windows 8 ;D)

I'm not a mouthpiece for Obi marketing, however I think the features vs. the Obi100 and 110 are pretty clear: Those two devices do not allow WiFi or Bluetooth. WiFi especially makes this device with it's compact size ideal for what road warriors consider a travel router, i.e., take with you on travels and use in office, hotel room or other temp work space.  I'll predict this makes it on to the lists of 'favored tech devices for frequent travelers.'

In addition, the 100 and 110 do not do GV Multi Ring, This one does, I believe. There are other smaller differences between 100/110 and this one, 4 SPs vs 2 SPs in the 100/110, and so on and gets less relevant (more available star codes, more speed dials, richer feature set vs the 100/110...).
