Obi202 Performance is a let Down

<< < (4/4)

Ostracus:
Were applicable don't forget to protect the phone line as well.

Lavarock7:
On our big mainframe computers we used to have odd problems and failures. As soon as we put them on a UPS, there was a dramatic reduction in problems.

It was also explained to me that small electrical spikes may not cause a system to fail but that over time, those chips and electronics will do best if you

a) Keep a nice cool, constant temperature
b) Keep the power constant and eliminate spikes

Stallhorn:

I am also really getting frustrated with my OBi202 going offline. Mine is fine for a day or two and then goes offline.. I contacted Obi support and asked the following question:
I get "IP address is not available - reason 00" message every couple of days sometimes and every couple of
weeks at other times. I gave it a static IP from my internal network
(192.168.1.20) and I still get the phone go offline. When that happens I
fire up my browser, go the web interface and reboot the device and it starts
working again. So I know it has an IP address and it is accessible.

And I got the following answer:

We don't understand it either why the OBi is not having an IP address.   Try
to connect the OBi to a different Ethernet port on your router and make sure
the cable connection is securely connected.

I know I am one of the few people (judging by the number of posts on here) that is having this issue. So I called Amazon today and asked them if I can exchange it.. and they said that is OK.. I love Amazon!

I am hoping the new device would work better...
