Still does not work.You are better off buying the latest device instead of making this one work. Once I did, I couldn't get the phone to associate with my SIP proxy. I bought this device to support demonstrations a little over a year ago. I had great difficulty connecting to a WIFI network. Thought that it was something I was doing wrong, so I waited to write this review.Well, since then I've set up dozens of other SIP devices and after seeing and reading about all of their document quirks, I decided to make another go at it.
The documentation is spotty. I would recommend shopping around for a better alternative. Maybe it's just me and the lack of documentation. However, there are several shortcomings for this phone. The buttons feel cheap, but work passably well.
The sound quality seems pretty good. I can get maybe 36 hours of standby. I tried to perform a firmware upgrade, but the web interface doesn't seem to work. In summary, as my title indicates the phone is functional. I was able to connect to my WEP enabled wireless network and register a SIP connection to my openpbx installation with relative ease.
The battery life is abysmal. The phone itself seems to provide some upgrade tool, but the documentation does not mention it and the Linksys site provides no URLs matching its configuration.
Should plan on setting up Qos on wireless. Sound quality is great. The config was smooth. The Web GUI is easy to navigate. You can hear the voice easily overtop of loud background noises(ie - hydrualic machines).
It's simple and easy to setup. It works very well. But I can't call other contacts by name (type and store in memory characters).
I received my linksys wip300 2 weeks ago since then, my phone is on and perfectly working.The signal is always excellent at the office, at home and sometimes in the street with open wifi connection. I use my phone with the French ISP called Free, can't complain.Definitely worth the $.
