Question regarding Ooma, and other components.

[Susan Calvin]

5. Working fine for quite a few hours on ethernet.

If I hadn't talked to you, I'd probably still be stubbornly determined to make it work on wi-fi, since it worked on Wi-Fi for over a decade just fine. Thank you so much for getting me to stop being stubborn and do that. I'd love to just run an Ethernet cable, but there's no sightly way to do it. Right now I'm ducking under it to go into the kitchen, because it's not quite long enough to get it out of the way even in an unsightly manner.

Next thing I'm going to do is hook up a laptop by ethernet to that Wi-Fi to ethernet connector and see if it drops the Wi-Fi, to try to narrow it down to the Wi-Fi to ethernet connector or the modem / router. My money is on the modem/router.

I'm hoping there's some way to put the Ooma on a whitelist of some sort. Might you have any idea how I do that? It's not immediately obvious in the modem/router's menu. I do now know the IP address of the Ooma, and that you can talk to it directly if you hook a computer up to its ethernet connector marked Home.
