That Engin OneHub does look like a convenient device, granted. Takes the complication out of the VOIP experience and that is the way to go.

I think people get pretty fussy about the phone handset though which is why most people end up with a Panasonic or Uniden DECT phone. I note that you can plug one of these into this unit as well, so all up it looks like a flexible device, also supports a USB printer for printer sharing.

It is a very good product to offer for a VOIP/Naked company.

I will point it out to MNF, thanks for the heads up! I wonder who makes it?

I think the below product review has kind of missed the simplicity for new users point somewhat.


PRODUCT REVIEW

The good:

* Simple set-up for engin customers
* Comes with handset
* PSTN pass-through
* Works with non-engin broadband

The bad:

* Router is physically huge
* Many router functions are locked down or obscure
* Only two Ethernet ports
* 802.11b/g only
* Poor signal throughput

The bottomline:

Engin's oneHub benefits from simplicity, but also suffers from it in comparison to other all-in-one router/VoIP solutions.
