Digital camera reviews of Phonex PX-211D Wireless Web Jack System
Digital camera Review: Misleading! Not for phone use, data works ok.
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the description says it can be used to "add a telephone to a room" and the technical details don't say anything about it being limited to data, the model I received and the extension jack are both for data only. That means you can't add a telephone. The Phonex box has a photo of the extension hooked up to a telephone and clealy states that it can be used for that purpose, but when you open the box, the base and extension units are both marked "data only" and the reception is all static if you try to plug in a phone. That said, as long as you only need it for data, it works ok. I have it hooked up to the phone line for my DirecTV receiver and another extension unit hooked up to my modem, and they seem to be working fine.Digital camera Review: More info on trouble shooting would be great.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased my units for use with a Dish Network Receiver. They were installed per the instructions and were green in no time flat. Using a handset I was able to hear the dial tone loud and clear however when I tried to dial out, I could not. I attempted to hook the phone line directly to the Dish receiver and it would not dial out either. I moved the PhoneX units to different locations and had the same problem.
I swapped out the phonelines on both ends.
Yes they were plugged straight into the wall.
Turning to the instruction pamplet, if they're green they work not much else in the way of troubleshooting. I ended up purchasing a similar RCA model locally that worked out of the box.
Digital camera Review: More than satified
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say wow enough for this product. All the time I spend in the crawl space of our home trying to run wires and borrow drill bits from the neighbors and such is over! It took me less than 5 minutes to hook this up and our problem was solved, no more wire running through the living room.Digital camera Review: Not Designed for VOICE phone
Summary: 1 Stars
The description does not say it - but this devise will not work on a phone you use for voice calls. It will have nothing but static.Digital camera Review: Not exactly what I'd expected.
Summary: 3 Stars
Setup and usage was easy but the downside was that the transfer speed was about 33k which was less that the normal 56k dial-up speed.
