AC Powered USB Hub Makes a Difference!

I picked up a gigaware 4-port USB hub from Radio Shack a couple of days ago & have gained some improvement, both incoming & outgoing. Even with the hub, I encountered some lag time, between myself & the caller yesterday, which was remedied by rebooting the pc & restarting the MJ. But overall, the ...

You can do this with Grand Central, but not MagicJack, (unless someone knows something that I don't).

It loaded much better this morning. Better ...

I am currently testing the MJ and so far, I like it alot. I am seriously considering dropping my phone provider - Vonage. Thanks for the info about QoS. When I attempted to open the "Voice" tab in my router software to check QoS, I got this message - "Access to the Voice tab is restricted by Vonage ...
