Linksys Shipping WRTP54G-NA Wireless G Broadband Router

April 13, 2006 by Garrett Smith

The Linksys WRTP54G-NA Wireless-G Broadband Router is really four devices in one box. First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. The Router function lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Features:

  • All-in-one Internet-sharing Router, 4-port Switch, and 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point
  • Shares a single Internet connection and other resources with Ethernet wired and Wireless-G and B devices
  • Two standard phone jacks enable feature-rich telephone service over your cable or DSL Internet connection
  • High security: Wi-Fi Protected Access? (WPA), wireless MAC address filtering, powerful SPI firewall

The fourth function is the phone adapter which enables high-quality feature-rich telephone service through your high-speed connection even while you’re surfing the Internet. There are two standard telephone jacks, each operating independently — like having two phone lines. With Vonage Service, you’ll get low domestic and international phone rates, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voicemail, Call Forwarding, Distinctive Ring, and lots of other available special phone features. Choose any free local dialing US area code, regardless of where you live. Add a virtual phone number in any area code, or even a US-wide toll-free number.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encode all wireless transmissions with up to 128-bit encryption, and supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access? (WPA). The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.

With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and turn that Internet connection into a high-quality, high-value telephone service!

The Linksys WRTP54G-NA is available at a retail price of $154.95 at VoIPSupply.com

Harrison Study Misses Key Barrier to Consumer VoIP Adoption

April 12, 2006 by Garrett Smith

A Harrison Interactive study released today highlighted the growing awareness of Voice over IP technology within the consumer market place. The study, which featured sections on awareness, reasons to adopt, and barriers to adoption was the result of a survey conducted online between October 12th and the 16th, 2005 involving over 2,200 individuals. Although the study was a great numerical statement of a trend that many of us within the industry already see, the study fell short in one particular area; barriers to adoption.

The number one barrier to consumer VoIP adoption is a lack of broadband internet, not the fact that consumers prefer a landline or a mobile/cell phone. One of the primary reasons the survey did not uncover this fact is that it was it was done online, and I think it is safe to say the vast majority of those participating in paid online surveys are surely already on a broadband internet connection.

Due to the way VoIP service providers are marketing their services as the “low cost alternative” to traditional phone service, VoIP service providers are attracting droves of low-cost consumers, who more than likely have low-cost (read: dial-up) internet service. Because VoIP service requires broadband internet, most of these low-cost consumers are not going to upgrade their internet service and pay more for it, just to save money on their phone bill. Hence the reason why the lack of broadband internet is the largest barrier to consumer adoption of Voice over IP.
