Hello, I just purchased OBI100 from
Amazon.com. I have Comcast HSI with a Motorola Surfboard 6120. I connected the OBI to DIR-655 router, and used my vtech 5.8ghz cordless phone. Dial tone from OBI sounds clear. When I dial **9 222 222 222, the test call guy's voice is layered with a very strong static noise.
Next I configured GV, no problems getting the connection up. I made a test call, the dial tone and ringing sound nice and clear, but once connected I hear the same static/white noise problem. The other party reported good audio with no noise, but on my end the sound quality sucks. It's not as loud when I talk, but gets quite loud when I'm listening to the other party talk, kind of a half duplex effect.
Because of the type of noise, I thought maybe it is electronic interference of some kind. I moved the OBI to another level of the house, different circuit than the cable modem and router. I also disconnected the cordless and used regular handset, too. Same problems, didn't seem to make a difference in the quality.
Then I went completely barebones, plugged the OBI directly into the cable modem. I tried making test call before the connection was complete, and sure enough, even the error message guy that says there is no connection was accompanied by a lot of white noise.
My problem seems similar to this thread
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=1509.0 that I found in the forum, but there wasn't any fix in there that I could understand. Before I return this thing to Amazon I want to see if anyone has any other ideas. Is my OBI defective?
Thanks!
