MJPLUS static during calls.....

Post by agh070468 »

I have static and sometimes bad echoes during calls.........how do I fix that? I have a Uverse router and was searching online trying to figure out how to open more ports if that helps. I never found the answer to that but I moved the phone base to another room and still the same.

I also had this problem but only when someone else is using the internet at the same time I was making a call on the magicJack but back then I had Verizon DSL 768k speed. Now that I have Verizon FIOS it works better no crackling calls at all.

Check that make sure no one else is using the internet when you are if you have WiFi someone might be stealing your internet and makes your calls sound bad. Check those things make sure if you have WiFi that your wifi connection is encrypted. Do you have old phones? Is you phone line that connects from your magicJack to your phone old or crack.....

That site does not list my router and if it did I would have to pay. Is there a free fix for this anyone?

I just found a comment on another site that says there is no need to port forward if it is plugged into the wall outlet?? In other words it is not going through the computer.....is this correct?

Yea I found that but where it says select computer do I select my router? I do not have it plugged in to my computer so selecting it to port forward would be useless right?

Static on line. Quick and inexpensive fix

Post by joefrombrooklyn »

Purchased a MJ+ 2 weeks ago and had nothing but static on the line. Came across a suggested "solution" to plug MJ+ directly into a powered USB hub. Thought I'd try it out. Happened to have a Belkin 4 port powered hub in my house that I was not using. Plugged my MJ+ directly into it and... SUCCESS! Absolutely no static and perfectly clear calls.

portforwarding ... you still need to get the exact IP address on your magicjack plus device. look for the ip address on your routers settings page then use the specific ip address to add it to your portforwarding and it should be fixed
