Why must I re-start every day?

Post by cobra94 »

If I don't do a re-start and try to make a call I cannot hear the phone ring on the other end. The call goes through because people I call tell me they hear me say hello. Once I do a re-start every thing is fine. This is the only issue I keep having, otherwise MJ works fine. Im on a wireless setup with a new Dell laptop that I bought strictly for MJ. MJ is plugged into a powered usb hub and is set to high priority. MY phones are Panasonic kxtga931t Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?

Does your laptop go into sleep or hibernate mode at night? MJ doesn't like to wake up after that.

Your computer should not need to be rebooted. Some people here go months between boots on their MJ computers.

In addition to what "davrow" said, you might also make sure your ethernet card and all your USB root hubs are set to not allow the OS to turn them off to conserver power. MagicJack is not fond of that sleepy time stuff either. Go into the device manager and check the "Power Management" for the network card and as many USB root hubs as you have. (you may have as many as six USB root hubs)
