Rating: - Hard to set up but works fine!
I read all the reviews and was a little nervous about buying it but I went ahead. I received it at work so set it up at first on our work network and it worked fine. Then I took it home and I couldn't not get it to work on my wifi - which is EXACTLY the same as work (both on Mac/Airport). I contacted customer support first by email and that was pretty useless. Then I got on the phone and after a long wait got through to someone who was able to help me. Even though the wifi systems were the same, ... Read More

At first, the Netgear SPH200W made me want to go back to my Keyspan Skype phone, which is tinny and needs the Skype program on your computer, but is stable. The Netgear sound, on the other hand, was so sketchy for me and so horrendous for those I was talking to, and they often heard their voice in echo.

Rating: - very good

Rating: - I was hopeful, but disappointed.
Skype is a great service but this phone doesn't accent it very well. I haven't tried another skype phone yet.
The sound quality was ok at first, but as we used it more it just seemed to cut out too much, kind of like a keyboard that skips a key intermittently. It's just too annoying to accept. It will work, don't get me wrong; so if you don't use the phone that much it might be acceptable for you.
The phone itself is nice and the menus and the operation is perfect. This seems to ... Read More
