I have the EXACT same issue as described. Word-for-word.
I have yet to re-add the device as described. Seems like that is not probably a solution anyway. My OBI was on top of my router and warm to the touch. I'm wondering if heat is the issue as well. Moving it now to see if it changes my situation.
Have had the unit for almost two years and this problem is recent. Am wondering if its just going bad on me.
One additional note. The "Line in use light" (second from right) just blinks intermittently. Everything on OBITalk HTML page shows device appears to be fine.

Heat is always an issue with electrical devices. I learned a long time ago to never directly stack anything. The devices need to breathe.
Just like with computers, air flow is your friend.
For the most part the damage is cumulative, eventually leading to premature failure.
My stuff is all laid out next to each other on a small, open wire shelf which allows unfettered access to the air inlets which are usually on the bottom of electrical devices. Feeding these inlets with already heated air (stacking) is not a good idea.

You might try substituting power supplies if you have a suitable unit to change.
My OBi202 specs are DC: +12V 1.0 Amp Max, and the others look to be the same. So compatible power supplies are pretty common, I think.
If you are still under warranty, then I would contact OBi. If out of warranty, I would swap power supplies with another before buying a new unit.
My OBi202 costs about twice what I save per month vs my old wireline phone. Maybe I should buy a spare. However so far, I am problem free, and I have the cell phone to hold me over if there is a failure. A new OBi100 is $40, so you could go ahead and order, and at worst have a spare if you find the problem is something weird. I cannot imagine khubbell 's OBi+powersupply has not failed based on the symptoms. CarlosDanger, I am generally skeptical of "same", but if so, you should get yours on order too.
