SunRocket on Wireless Lan

[Justjeff]

I will be travelling next week and the hotel only offers Wireless internet. Is there a way to plug my Sunrocket VOIP phone via a RJ-45 into some sort of wireless AP that will take my VOIP Phone RJ-45 and convert to wireless to the hotel system? I have been told their ports are all open, just a matter of getting the phone to go from Copper to wireless.

I make a lot of calls, and would rather have my VOIP phone with me than use the hotel phone. No Softphone is available.

You could use a travel router and configure it to work as a wireless client conencted to the hotels wireless network.

Plug the RJ45 from your phone into the travel router and you're set to go.

DLink and Netgear makes them but check the specs to make sure it can operate as a client device.

As for open ports for the phone, hopefully it will work...

3Com makes one that should work as well.

i've found the Linksys travel router to have very poor rf sensitivity.

i've used a Buffalo WHT-G125 wifi/router ($40, and has a better radio than Linksys WRT54GL), and put DD-WRT firmware on it in repeater mode, and i use sunrocket fine with this configuration, just plug VoIP gizmo into one of the 4 switch port.

the G125 is very small too.

last week, my cable modem went out, i positioned the G125 near my window, and piggy-backed on *someone*s connection just fine.

First, whether the Buffalo unit has a better radio is an opinion that is not really backed up by technical specs.

Second I would be careful about buying anything made by Buffalo right now as they maybe in serious legal trouble.
