Kinda an old post but I will ask. I have this router and I was using it but sometimes I will try to dial out and it will lock up the router and show like the line is in use and never stop. then lately I noticed that now I can make calls out but cannot receive calls. It tells callers that they have reached the YMax communications center and that the call was successful. Anyone else having these issues? Also I was wondering if maybe the calling plan I am using is not good because also I cannot dial 911 with it. I would like to get away from the software again and the dongle. Please help. lol.

Wonderful post and thanks for the hard work. I'm new to this, I've had an MJ for a while and just got an RTP300 that I unlocked. I tried to follow the instructions on this forum to configure and use my RTP300 with my MJ. I've read the whole forum and I have several questions:

1. The info in the screenshots do not always match what's included in the PAP2TMJ.config. Which is the correct information to configure my RTP300?

2. Line1_Proxy: should I use 'proxy1.miami.talk4free.com:5070' or my local proxy (i.e., 'proxy01.washington.talk4free.com:5070')

3. mbarlent's dial plan: do I need to replace the 311 in <:1311> with my MJ's area code, or should I just use the dial plan as is with the 311?

I would really appreciate any feedback on this. I'll continue verifying what I've put in the RTP300. I may have mis-copy/pasted info in it from PAP2TMJ.config (that's what I'm going with right now Smile

)

Thanks in advance.

hi everyone! (if anyone is left reading these posts)

I recently came across the idea to take my old RTP300 and get RID of the Vonage firmware that was installed on it (and therefore said firmware wrecked the port-forwarding/triggering capabilities) in order to restore its functionality as a very decent WIRED router capable of handling HD streaming applications.

(as you may know, today's cheaply-made routers simply can't handle multiple bi-directional HD streaming, however, the RTP300 CAN)

After spending an entire day and installing who-knows-what types of "hacking tools" and other utilities (and security risks), I have successfully "cracked" the RTP300 and removed the wonky Vonage firmware and replaced it with the latest "intended" firmware from Linksys.

my efforts proved to be successful and I now have a decent and reliable (and properly-functioning) RTP300 managing the broadcast racks.

in all of this, I have come across the idea to perhaps try MagicJack on the RTP300.. and thus led me to this forum!

NOW..

I have come across some "snags" in reading this forum more deeply.. and after paying $70 for the damn MJ device... I'll start out with the obvious question..

1) Does this hack still work for the magic jack system; now being November 2011? since the last post is over a year ago, and the "active" posts are about 3 years old! I have read that MJ now BLOCKS use of ATAs outside of their stupid wonky dongle... but I couldn't confirm this..

2) if this still DOES work, has any of the provided info changed or otherwise modified procedures to obtain said info (I have tried the "MagicJackSuite" and "SIPDump" utilities and they don't seem work AT ALL now)

3) is there a way to get the SIP info using some other free utility or procedure?

or, is this all now just a FARSE and I should just give up on MagicJack and take the MJ device BACK to Wallmart and get a refund?

at least I have a working RTP300! maybe someone out there knows of a VoIP service (probably BETTER than MJ) that I can use with the RTP300...

a prompt reply would be appreciated! (since I only have a few days at best to return the damn thing), thanks in advance!

I'll +1 that. I'm in the same boat; I recently bought a second-hand RTP300 locked to Vonage, and I Rooted it successfully, and would love to use it as an SPA for MagicJack, if that's still possible. If not, I'm happy to take suggestions for another SIP service that is on the cheap!

Unfortunately MJ changed their login logarithm sometime ago and you can no longer use your sip credentials to login using another device.

Does that pretty much bomb this entire forum, if you cannot do anything with MJ outside of the USB dongle?

I agree.... After answering 3 different requests for the same exact thing in the last week I gave up answering anymore...
