Personally I am using a slower computer than you with slower internet and don't have any quality issues. I am assuming that the computer is connected via a wired connection but even if not several people have reported that it works great on a wireless signal. I would suspect viruses or an actual ...

The best way really, especially if you are not using the soft-phone is to run your MJ as a service. There are threads in this forum that cover it so I am not going to repeat it.

I couldn't agree more. I purchased mine and didn't turn it on for almost a year, waiting for the option to keep my number. I finally gave up and ditched POTS and and use the MJ exclusively. I am in Los Angeles so there was a heavy load at first but things are going very smoothly. I am very impressed ...

I would try it with a different phone for starters, next try to run magicfix from the menu. Finally, I assume you are running the console and not as a service. It may be something with the phone itself start out with a really cheap $8.00 drug store phone and then then work your way back to your phone.

Usually after first turning the computer on it is the "Del" button, but also commonly F2 or F1 etc. From there go to boot options and make sure that your hard drive is the first listed boot device. The manufacturer of your computer will also have a support site for this.

It's a bit of a long shot, but I have seen similar behavior when a computer is plugged into the same electrical circuit as a fax machine or microwave. Try two things; first unplug everything else except the computer, if possible route the internet to a different plug. If no joy then you could try a ...

I have used it at a friends house and they were intrigued that my phone would ring through their computer. I did not bring a phone with me but could have obviously.

The Dongle is essential for connection to a physical phone, this in essence is what they brought to the table. Soft Phones have been around for a while and I have personally used them since 2004 and saved a bundle.

What you are saying about plugging in a cordless, is exactly how I use it. for me ...

If it were me I would implement QOS for the ports being used by the Magic Jacks using a good quality switch, HP ProCurve line or Cisco Catalyst. This would help to ensure a high call quality. I have not tested if the same ports are always used for all calls but have located 5-6 ports, it was a while ...

While I cannot state for certain (without testing), I would assume not. They put out special software just to be able to deal with 3G. the reason for this is that 3G still has very high latency in the network traffic. Speed is one thing but actual time of transit cycle. If you are in an area that ...

Won't Boot

The Magic Jack is also considered a storage device like a USB drive. I would check in the set-up for your computer and disable "removable storage devices" from being able to boot.
