OBiwifi Wireless Adapter
BearJerCares:
I apologize if this is not exactly along the same thread, but I haven't used the Forum much and could not find out how to create a brand new one.
I also have Google Voice, along with CallCentric for 911 service, using the OBI100. In the future, we might be moving to an apartment complex with free WIFI they say works very well, but I may not have an ethernet connection to plug into. So, my question is, can I configure an OBIWIFI with an OBI202 to work strictly with the complexe's WIFI? I will have the password, of course, but I will not be able to configure anything with their router. I plan to convert my Google Voice / CallCentric setup to use the new plan that Obi has with Phone Power.
Will the WIFI only connection work fine without any router or ethernet connection of my own? Thanks, --Jerry in Michigan

Thanks for the link - I had already seen that, but it does not specifically address my question of whether this set up, using an Obi equipment with a "hotspot" type wifi router, which I would have no way of configuring, would work with the new Phone Power plan and the Obi. Does anyone know if it is likely to work ok? Thanks, --Jerry

It should work to some degree, but whether or not it will work to your satisfaction in that environment (shared WiFi) is going to be heavily dependent on how many other users are simultaneously using the same network, and the signal strength at the spot where you locate your OBi. WiFi was never designed with VoIP in mind, especially when shared by several other users simultaneously, streaming netflix, porn, torrents, etc. it's a "best alternative to nothing" solution. You won't know until you get there and test it. When you do move in, hook up a computer to the WiFi access point, and run the VoIP test here:

This company's test uses a Java applet running on your computer to accurately simulate real-world SIP connections, and is the only meaningful test (vs standard speedtest sites which are useless for SIP VoIP).
You need to get a MOS (Mean Opinion Score) of at least 4.0 to enjoy reliable VoIP service.

I want to connect a obi200 with a USB wireless adapter to a hotspot.
The hotspot is a open network,
But requires the password when you open up a webpage after you are connected.
I have that password.
My question is,
Will I be able to do this with the obi device.
Thanks all!
