Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link Skype USB Phone Adapter
Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this adapter today and it took about 10 minutes to install. It works great! I couldn't be more pleased. I'm able to make and receive SKYPE calls from my old cordless phone. I don't have a traditional landline so I can't comment on making regular calls with it but for SKYPE it's soooo easy and the call quality is excellent. I just bought another one as a stocking stuffer for my mother-in-law whose is looking to get rid of her landline as well.
Tech Info: I am running Windows XP. Make sure you follow the insrtuctions carefully. You are prompted for when to attached the adapter. SKYPE needs to be downloaded onto the computer prior to the install. Finally, make sure you go into SKYPE and "allow this program to use SKYPE" on the info box. All of these steps are in the installation guide.
Customer Review: Great and inexpensive skype internet connector
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been subscribed another VOIP connection for many years. But its monthly price is equal to a yearly cost of SKYPE, so I decided to switch to SKYPE. Having a D-Link dph-5OU adapter, I was able to use my existing wiring and handset. While installing the software, just don't be panic when you see the installation menu comes out again. The first time is installing the hardware, the second path is to connect the skype. I got pretty confused in the beginning, until I installed it the second time. Installation is really simple. Always download the newest version for installation from company's website. It's a great buy, and the connection to skype is so clear. It's better than my old VOIP connection. Now I can use wireless phone to talk to my friends everywhere on Skype or call regular landline.Customer Review: Works Great!!

I bought this product and connected it to a 5.8GHZ cordless phone... WOW!! I have always had problems with skype and the corded USB phone that I have. Not only do I have crystal clear calls but the range is awesome!!! MY only regret is not buying this sooner. It needs to be plugged into a PC that is always on... but that's ok. I have an older laptop doing the job!! The cost of this adapter and the cordless phone came out to less than $30.(Both on sale!!) And that is much less than a dedicated wifi phone!! I don't have home phone service, but it feels like I do now. The phone rings normally and I can use all the features the cordless phone has including caller ID. It dials out just fine just make sure you read the instructions on setting it up!!. I highly recommend this product!!!!Customer Review: Works great but you need to do this to install.

Worked great for me but installation was tricky. For Vista you need to ignore the Cd it comes with a go to the web site:
http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=466&sec=0#drivers
to download the driver. You should follow the instructions carefully. Also, I needed to install 3 times with a reboot in the middle before it would finally work.
Also, you need to set a few options in Skype to make sure the sound goes to the phone:

The new menu under Skype is called Audio settings and you should only change the Microphone and Speaker settings to VoipPlayback(D-Link Virtual Audio Device). Other combinations did not work for me.
Customer Review: Awesome little device...
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first read of this device, I thought I would give it a try since the price can't be beat. To my utter surprise, this device is totally amazing! Using the latest Vista drivers v1.1 (not WinXP drivers) from Dlink's website (not the included v1.0 drivers), I installed the software first on my PC running WindowsXP SP3, and then connected the device via USB connector and followed the instructions. It was easy to grasp how it works, and the quality is amazing to say the least. I also used this with a multi-handset Uniden DECT 6.0 device and I must say, this is a sweet setup. The sound quality was great, no noticeable delay in voice, and the longest conversation was over 35+ minutes and the call did not get dropped at all. It was great!
