Vonage trouble- be aware

Post by Mak »

If you're a Vonage customer, be aware that many people are having issues right now- especially with the Linksys WRTP54G wireless router. It seems that during the day on the 14th they tried to push a firmware upgrade that has apparently eff'd up the entire router. They have not seemed to be able to fix it yet and basically anyone with that router is offline, both with Vonage and in some cases for surfing.

Too often it seems it is the peaceful and innocent who are slaughtered. In this a lesson may be found that it may not be prudential to be either too peaceful or too innocent. One does not survive with wolves by becoming a sheep.

I gots the Linksys without the Wireless.

That's the one I have and I haven't had any service problems. I really don't use it very often, though.

They re-pushed the original firmware later in the day on the 15th. I have phone service again, but still have spotty internet through the router. Right now I have 2 routers daisy-chained until I can call CS and get them to do another push.
