    Hiya All, there are still a few Netgear TA612V at High Wycombe Staples marked at £39.98 but take it to the till and they scan at £19.91.
    Also I've got the sipgate settings for the open firmware version if anyone requires them then PM me.

    In my local London store yesterday, There was at least one wireless print adapter, at least two wireless IP cameras. Can't remember what else, as I was only there to pick up the 3com router set.

    Anybody know where I can get a Voip phone which doesnt have to be connected to the computer? I have a wireless router that I would like to use for the phone.

    Thanks, Shane

    The netgear can be used behind a router. You need to unlock it on the sipgate site and enable the stun protocol AFAIK. Well I have it working.

    Is that a DSL or ADSL? Got one working with DSL at home so was thinking of putting one at my office but that would have to go behind an ADSL connection.

    From phone line - filter -> Binatone ADSL 2000 (a single ethernet port ADSL router) -> Netgear TA612V voice adapter -> PC

    Binatone ADSL 2000 has DMZ set to the Netgear TA612V (forwards all ports). Netgear TA612V has STUN (a voip protocol thingy) enabled.

    I'm not an expert on all this stuff though :)

    I think if you were to put this on a network of lots of machines it would be a case of choosing one PC for the netgear voip adapter to go between. Router -> Netgear -> PC. The router may need to be configured to forward some VOIP ports to the Netgear if you have problems with one way audio.
