or would anyone recommend a SIP device to use with own router so I can keep the phone usable? I have a netgear r7000 that I want to replace the hyperoptic router but still want to use the phone. would a VoIP phone work when plug into the router directly, assuming hyperoptic will provide the username/pw etc?

I use a Cisco SPA112 (~£40) which was setup pretty easily - happy to list my config if needed. I've had it working with a few different routers Netgear 7500 (5ghz wireless nightmare!) same with Asus ac87u (loved the interface though) so got an Asus 68u which works perfectly which I've now flashed with Merlin firmware. Excellent router for getting the most out of 1gbps!

Not on Hyperoptic but I use a Gigaset N300IP DECT basestation for VOIP.

Like the fact it uses their standard DECT handsets for the handset side which means they're usually fairly reasonably priced.

I believe It can supposedly work with other handsets but I'd assume they'd be unable to report certain status messages.etc you'd get on SIP

are you with Hyperoptic? if so how did you get the SIP username and password? if this setup works and hyperoptic would provide the password I'd get the cisco adaptor right away : )

Yes, on Hyperoptic. If you ask support they'll give you your SIP credentials.

Thanks, I have the spa112 on order and will contact hyperoptic for the credentials.

If you don't mind, please can you share the SPA112 settings you used to connect to the Hyperoptic VOIP service?

which app would this be?

This? http://www.zoiper.com/en/voip-softphone/download/zoi...

Thank you

Proxy: sip.hyperoptic.com
UserID and Password you'll get from support and as far as I can remember, everything else was default (except I gave mine static IP iirc).
If that doesn't work Kevin, reply and I'm happy to email you screenshots of the full setup - there are plenty of settings so it's not really practical to post!
