Got the Obi100 setup with Google Voice as they currently have a G-Voice number. Had some hiccups but replacing the phone line fixed it and it's been working well.

In the process of transferring the Landline number to the Google Voice account. As you can have two G-Voice numbers on one account you set which number you want as the default for calling out and both will ring incoming.

I been browsing around these forums. I found the Ethernet port tweak & set it to 100mb instead of the default 10mb.

Should I set my Router's WAN port to 100mb full duplex or leave it on Auto?

Any other useful tweaks worth looking at? Still looking through these forums.

The only other thing would be using a E911 service in the SP2 slot. Right?

Anveo E911 has that 5 time limit which is kinda crap. I think it's workable though.

The only other issue is using call waiting or conferencing. Pressing the Flash button. Like I have to keep pressing it multiple times. Using a Panasonic 6.0 DECT phone. Someone else has this issue too: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27929254-Obi110-breaks-POTS-call-waiting

Other than that been working great.

Your router's WAN port connects to your modem. I would probably leave it on auto, but setting it to 100 could be of use in some cases.

Set up your OBi100 SP2 to defend against sip scanners. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5467.0 Method 3 or 4 would be suitable for Anveo.

Consider audio levels. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5235.0

I presume you set up the OBi using OBiTalk.

Doing some research I should leave the Router's WAN port speed on Auto.

I did set it up through the ObiTalk site.

I will look at your "HOWTO: Thwarting SIP Scanners during Set-up". Thanks.

No one knows for sure about the Panasonic phone and flash button issues?

I can't find the settings in the post I listed in my OP.

"Obi Expert Configurations"--->"Enter Obi Expert". Should be under Physical Interfaces.
