Obi202 Performance is a let Down
meerkat:
it does not sound like but it does not hurt to make sure:
your obi202 is setup using DHCP (or setup using a static IP and make sure not in the IP range the Uverse router DHCP server is allocating).
if still not working, then I would exchange it ASAP
carl:
As a last thing, put the Obi in DMZ on your U verse gateway. The 2 Wire U verse gateways can be a b*itch for VOIP. If that does not do it, you should contact Obihai support and claim warranty exchange.
jcantrell:
Ok...
I have given it a static IP on the UVerse router. Was connected for about 30min.
I the Obi in the DMZ on the UVerse router with a new IP. Was connected for about 30min
Sometimes the four lights are on, but no dial tone. Other times only the Power and Internet lights are on and no service.
I am going to exchange and try again.
jcantrell:
:D My exchange arrived today. I have had it up and running for 5.5 hours without loss of service.

Reviews on Amazon's web site said there is the occasional bad unit. Exchanging it is likely to solve the problem as getting two bad units back-to-back is rather unlikely.
I run my OBI202, and almost all my electronics, on UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) to protect the electronic devices during the all-too-frequent power glitches and to provide time for the computers to hibernate safely. I've been buying the APC BE550G. One should resist the urge to plug too many things into a single UPS to avoid too rapid power drain on the UPS battery.
I think the OBI202 could be sensitive to power spikes (especially) and sags. It's one more layer of protection.
