Grandstream WP826 Cordless Wi-Fi IP Phone

The wife lost her mobile phone, and we had no house phone, then I researched options and stumbled on this VoIp solution and I love it. (great audio and Voip service is a fraction of the regular cost) I had this phone for a while now, and it's been on standby in the living room for months, staying connected to the wifi service, very reliable. The feels is great in the hand, seems solid and the audio is good, better than what I expected. (my other VoiP phone was a Skype phone decades ago and I remember it had poor audio and felt very low quality and plasticky, but not this one) Set up wasn't that bad, the meanu features are what you expect, contact list, etc.. I like it a lot, was going to give it 4 stars because it is a bit smaller than what I expected, but that's a preference I guess.

Dopo aver tolto il Fritz e sostituito tutto con una Dream Machine 7, mi sono ritrovato senza cordless: prima usavo il Fritz!Fon. Questo Grandstream WP826 è stato un buon compromesso. Importante chiarirlo subito: non funziona con DECT ma solo tramite Wi-Fi. Significa che se vi spostate per casa e il segnale cala, la chiamata si interrompe. Il telefono in sé funziona abbastanza bene: la qualità dell’altoparlante in vivavoce non è eccellente, ma fa il suo lavoro. L’interfaccia web di configurazione è completa di ogni opzione possibile, ma a tratti caotica: si potrebbe fare molto meglio con un po’ di automazione. Non è un telefono immediato da configurare, non lo consiglierei a chi cerca semplicità assoluta. Una volta impostato tutto correttamente però va alla perfezione: testato con il VoIP di TIM, nessun problema. Unico vero peccato: manca una segreteria telefonica integrata. Nota di merito invece al venditore BoraComputer: spedizione rapidissima, imballaggio perfetto, transazione impeccabile. Complimenti rinnovati.

Very good product.

I'm new to VOIP. There is a lot to learn. This device is a handheld computer trained to act like a phone. I bought it for an aging parent in care because it takes up very little space, the handset has a familiar shape, international calls are cheap, there are no extra wires to run, and the care home has strong steady WiFi. Computer skills are needed to set it up, but not to use it. The WP826 handset feels solid and the advertised battery life was a key factor. The unit has performed very well in early tests. Top 3 tips for buyers: 1. Before installing the battery, take a photo of the sticker inside the case that the battery will hide. There is a password printed on there that you will need. 2. Visit the Grandstream corporate website and download the manuals for your device. Those are comprehensive and readable; the info in the box is inadequate. 3. After patiently connecting the handset to Wifi using its own built-in buttons, navigate the handset menu system to learn the IP address that the network has assigned to your new device. The handset serves its own web page on that address! So you can use any other device on the same WiFi, like your laptop, to complete the setup. Log in as "admin" (use the password located above) to configure everything comfortably from your full-sized keyboard. Receiving and initiating calls to the outside world requires getting a phone number from some VOIP provider. I chose voip.ms, and paid extra to get "premium quality" for my calls. (Still under a penny per minute in Canada.) Test calls to landline and mobile phones in both Canada and Australia have worked as expected.

Der Artikel sollte dafür sorgen den Elektrosmog im Büro zu reduzieren ohne die Freiräume des schnurlosen Telefonierens zu verlassen. Daher sollte DECT wegfallen. Das WP826 ist für problemfreies Telefonieren im WLAN einfach einzurichten (3 Minuten): Mit WLAN verbinden (Einstellungen, WLAN). IP Adresse anzeigen lassen (Pfeiltaste oben). Weboberfläche auf dem PC oder Handy aufrufen und IP Adresse eingeben. admin als Name eingeben > Einmalkennwort wird angezeigt, im WP826 eingeben. Kennwort vergeben. Nun unter dem Konto und den SIP Eigenschaften bei SIP Transport von UDP auf TCP ändern. Im Router SIP priorisieren (hierzu muss der Port 5060 eingegeben werden) Fertig. Keine anderen Einstellungen nötig (Natürlich müssen die SIP Daten des Servers angegeben werden). Jitter Pufferlängen müssen nicht verändert werden (verschlechtern nur den Klang) Fröhliches Telefonieren
