The Linksys Phone Adapter enables high-quality feature-rich telephone service through your cable or DSL Internet connection. Just plug it into your home Router or Gateway and use the two standard telephone jacks to connect your existing phones or fax machines. Each phone jack operates independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers -- like having two phone lines. With an appropriate Internet telephone service provider, you'll get clear telephone reception and reliable fax connections, even while using the Internet at the same time for normal data operations. With Internet telephony, along with low domestic and international phone rates, an impressive array of special phone features are available. Choose your preferred free local dialing US area code, regardless of where you live. Or add a virtual phone number in any area code, forwarded to your Internet phone. You can even add a toll-free number. The Linksys Phone Adapter is compatible with these and all of the other special telephone features that are available from your telephone service provider, such as Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voicemail, Call Forwarding, Distinctive Ring, etc. Let the Linksys Phone Adapter turn your existing Internet connection into a high-quality high-value telephone service. minimize

4 Star Review Vonage PAP2 VoIP Internet Phone Starter Kit

Strengths:

Clear sound, cheaper then the lanline, I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Weaknesses:

All the phones need to be connected to the Adapter. Not good for a large house for the wiring, I tring to find one that is wireless if it possible. It is a bit bulky.

Posted Sep 29, 2005 - This item will end up saving me 30 dollars a month which is great. The adapter is quite bulky So it doesn't fit nicely under too many items. All my wiring for my DSL/Phone is now taking up 2 surge protecters.

1 Star Review BEWARE - locked to Vonage

Strengths:

Great quality, easy to set up

Weaknesses:

Vonage only

Posted Jul 10, 2007 - The way this device is marketed here does not make it clear that this device locks you into using the Vonage VOIP service. While Vonage are good at marketing, they are priced WAY ABOVE other Voice Over IP services, most of whom don't have any monthly fee just a per-minute fee as low as $0.01/min (some are even free). WARNING - this device is LOCKED to Vonage If you want to use those other cheaper (and just as reliable) VOIP services, you must buy a PAP-2 that is not locked to any single service provider. Those unlocked devices don't cost any more than this one, and you get a lot more flexibility. You can even use Vonage on them, but you're not limited to that one service provider.

3 Star Review Right price, Fast enough for me

Strengths:

small and compact, inexpensive

Weaknesses:

set up and cust service and kinda techy for the layman, a couple seconds delay when talking.

Posted Oct 17, 2005 - Althought the price is good, the setup is easy unless you want to use this with a provider other than vonage. It can be done, but it is quite geeky and you really need to know what you are doing. Some site provide help. This saved me a ton of money as I call to the UK a lot.

5 Star Review Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter

Strengths:

Small, price is good after rebate

Weaknesses:

Only designed for Vonage service.

Posted Dec 11, 2005 - First of all, if you are not (or do not intend to be) a Vonage service customer, don't go for it since it is only useful for this service. But it does good job, and the net price for it is cheap, of course you need to pay Vonage service fee.

4 Star Review Save $$$ on overseas calls and stay in touch.

Strengths:

Super easy to set up, best price, got mine free after rebate, sounds good

Weaknesses:

Customer service is lacking, sound could be better

Posted Sep 27, 2005 - I got 2 of these and sent one to distant family in Italy (Catania, Sicily) and I was talking to them in no time at all. There are times when audio would drop and then just rise to a very loud level and then taper off to normal. Not sure if it's my end or the Sicilian end....but I have a pretty good idea. Other than talking to family overseas, the call forward feature and voicemail is pretty good to have. I got mine for $49.99 with a $50.00 rebate, so it was essentially free although I did pay tax. I recommend buying it if u have family overseas , u can save $$$.

4 Star Review Good phone adapter

Strengths:

small and very easy to install and use. Good voice quality.

Weaknesses:

The base of the adapter can not hold the adapter firmly.

Posted Oct 11, 2005 - This is a good phone adapter for VOIP.Its price is also reasonable. Adapter is small and easy to install and use. Just plug in your router and phone line,set up the vonage account information then you would be ready to make phone calls all over the world at a very low cost. But the Vonage customer serives is not that good. Anyway,the product itself is recommended.

Strengths:

Good Adapter, Compact and looks nice. Sound Quality is good

Weaknesses:

Adapter base that holds the adapter in upright position doesn't fit very well with the adapter

Posted Apr 26, 2005 - Sound quality and vonage features are great. It is very economical. I like the call forward feature and voicemail access via web. Drawbacks of using Vonage - 1) Few times caller ID doesn't display and I have to "reboot" phone adapter to get back caller ID on my phone. 2) Vonage customer support isn't that good. You will need to wait for at least 30-40 minutes before you could get next customer rep. 3) I have had problems using the vonage line as a fax line. This is either because of heavy internet traffic or technical difficulties with vonage themselves in which I had wait 40 minutes to talk to customer rep to get that fixed. Other than that, the service is great.

5 Star Review Linksys PAP2

Strengths:

Could be unlocked to use with any VOIP service providers

Weaknesses:

Cannot send or receive fax from the phone ports of PAP2

Posted Dec 13, 2005 - The Linksys PAP2 could be unlocked and set for use with different VOIP service providers. Setting the PAP2 the first time is challenging but once you understand the the internal commands and setups of PAP2, it is very simple since you don't have to change them a whole lot. When PAP2 is up running you will not have to change it again unless you change VOIP service providers. Sending and receiving fax from the phone ports of PAP2 are still a problem for most users since the fax services via packets are inherently not reliable without the T.38 protocol support. The option of being able to take the PAP2 with you anywhere in the world with broadband connection and use it as if you are right at home is an excellent feature to have since the computer network recognize your PAP2 by its IP instead of the the telephone numbers. The Linksys PAP2 is must have for VOIP if you have broadband connection, particularly when you make a lot of long distance and overseas calls.

Strengths:

Easy to install, easy to setup

Weaknesses:

doesn't have built in router capabilities

Posted Jul 1, 2005 - PAP2 adapter made it easy to transition to VoIP. The product is reliable and easy to set up. I would prefer having an all in one adapter, but this will do. Easy to integrate into current setup

4 Star Review PAP2 VOIP works well but Vonage customer service could be better.

Strengths:

Easy to install, worked immediately, and sounds great.

Weaknesses:

The labels on the product are in micro print. For a while I couldn't get a dial tone because I couldn't make out the 1 & 2 on the line jacks.

Posted Dec 25, 2005 - Only one major complaint was that the Vonage site doesn't tell you that you CAN'T transfer a phone number used for DSL until you're ready to sign-up (adapter in hand). You also can't cancel a phone line and still get DSL. So, don't buy this unless you want a additional pnone line in addition to your DSL or you have a cable modem. I had to switch back to a cable modem from DSL which was the biggest hassle of them all. I really would have liked to be informed of his before I tried to start my service. Update: Does not function well when attached to multi-phone house wiring. Outgoing calls work but incomming calls wouldn't ring. Use with a cordless multi-phone system where ONLY one base station is connectd to the PAP2.

Strengths:

Easy install, quality construction and appearance

Weaknesses:

None

Posted May 11, 2005 - This item is very straight forward to use, plug in phone and your ethernet chord from your cable/DSL modem and your ready to go. This item delivers on it's basic function allowing you to use a standard phone rather than having to spend a lot on an internet phone. Sound quality is pretty good. Only giving 4 stars rather than 5 because it doesn't do a whole lot, so I suspect any glitches on the call delivery or sound quality would be due to either your internet service provider or the VoIP internet phone service. No problems so far.

4 Star Review A very good VOIP adapter

Strengths:

Universal power supply will work if you travel; 2 phone ports available.

Weaknesses:

Unit running relatively hot; design bigger then competitors.

Posted Oct 7, 2005 - Linksys phone adapter is a good box for advanced VOIP users. Through the web interface you can configure a lot of parameteres and setup dial plans. Also having 2 ports one should be able to get 2 different phone numbers with only one connection to the internet. Comparing to the Grandstream box which I had, this one have more features but as I pointed out as weaknesses, this unit is actually bigger and kind of overheats. Other then that, setup was easy, there is a lot of (good) documentation, voice quality is very good (of course it depends on your VOIP provider) and on the web you can find a lot of information about this device (including unlocking instructions!). The power supply you get is a universal 110-220v/50-60Hz so this unit is ideal if you travel. Overall a very good Linksys product, as one would expect from Linksys (now Cisco).

5 Star Review Great product

Strengths:

Easy to install

Weaknesses:

If you set it up yourself, it is very difficult to do it. Because there are so many parameters in advanced mode.

Posted Oct 3, 2005 - It is very easy to install it. Also, it is very easy to set up if you want to use Vonage service. But I don't want to use Vonage service, because of the price. After unlocking it, I can use the voip service from other company. It works smoothly. Great product!

4 Star Review Very good VOIP adaptor

Strengths:

Easy install, light weight.

Weaknesses:

Costly at $59.99 plus tax.

Posted Sep 29, 2005 - I love this thing. I could easily install it and connect it to the VOIP provider. Its very light and commnunicates well with my PC and 3COM router/gateway. Also the good thing about this adaptor is it can be placed vertically which makes more sense if space is limited on the tower. The voice is crystal clear except for rare noises.
