With Vodafone having bought Worldxchange I'm wondering if my XNET/VFX line will eventually be able to use the VOIP Port on Vodafone's HG659 router and be fully supported by XNET/VFX?

At present I have a WRP400 running XNET/VFX plugged into a HG659 LAN Port which is a fully supported configuration. I'm hoping XNET/VFX will work on the HG659 router in future so I can get rid of my Linksys WRP400 device.

Is this possible or is it unlikely.

The original question is running VFX on Huawei hardware so Vodafone VOIP not really in the picture.

The HG659 does have VOIP capability but no-one has had real success running any VOIP on it. The latest Vodafone firmware appears to unlock the ability to run SIP on the HG659 however there has been mixed success. You can read about it here:

This firmware is being pushed out to all Vodafone customers so you will get it at some stage. To avoid heartache, days of trying stuff and general stress I would recommend running WXC approved hardware behind the HG659.

You may need to manually add your ISP's DNS into the WXC hardware as for some reason my SPA it wouldn't pick up DNS from the HG659.

Cheers, Matt.
