What is error 001 shown in vonage LCD display ?
You should give details of the error.
Vonage - Support - Vonage V-Portal LCD Error Messages

If you see an error message, follow the advice on the second line of the message. For instance, the second line of the \"Internet Port Error [Code 001]\" message advises you to \"Unplug blue cable and securely plug it back into the blue port.\" Simply unplug the blue cable and securely plug it back into the blue port. The V-Portal should then power up successfully.

Unable to do so because the internet is down on my laptop when I route through the vonage adapter...but the vonage phone line works fine.5. Cannot access it6. 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.337. Please can you tell me exactly what I am typing here and what I am copy pasting...a bit novice here so please need the exact words I need to type.8., 9. &10...the vonage line is working. Thanks again..looking forward to hearing back from you.
 
Congrats.
Code:
If it works do not repair !
You will not need any further changes in Your Vonage.Ensure the Blue cable is connected properly all the time. Just switching off the Vonage Unit and restarting restores phone connection mostly..
Mine is ON 18 hours usually , except 1200AM to 0600AM IST.

Hi , This thread is indeed very informative ... I will be relocating to Bangalore in a month or so and will be carrying a vonage adapter with me.Here is my concern.At my residence in Bangalore, there is already a fixed line with BSNL and a broadband connection.If I take my vonage adapter, will I be able to use it without disturbing the existing connections? i.e. can I continue to have the exisiting local number in Bangalore and also have the Vonage connection to receive incoming calls from North America on the Vonage number?Is there a guide to such a connection setup? Are there professionals who can help with such a configuration in Bangalore? Thanks,VD
 
Hi ,

This thread is indeed very informative ...

I will be relocating to Bangalore in a month or so and will be carrying a vonage adapter with me.
Here is my concern.
At my residence in Bangalore, there is already a fixed line with BSNL and a broadband connection.
If I take my vonage adapter, will I be able to use it without disturbing the existing connections? i.e. can I continue to have the exisiting local number in Bangalore and also have the Vonage connection to receive incoming calls from North America on the Vonage number?
Is there a guide to such a connection setup? Are there professionals who can help with such a configuration in Bangalore?

Thanks,
VD

No change/s required in your Vonage unit .
Ensure the adsl modem connects to internet ( check with computer )
Enable dhcp in the adsl modem.
(This is because your UserId and PW will change in Bengaluru
as well as ISP if you decide to change ).
in "Always On' PPP/PPPoe mode in WAN page
check vpi/vci of the isp you choose. 0 and 35 for BSNL 1 32 for Airtel.
enter the Id PW.
DNS menu enter 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.220.220
( for all ISP's )
feedback.
In case of difficulty , check first Connection to Internet with ADSL modem and Computer.
Your Vonage Number will not change.
