Anyone try T-Mobile's HotSpot@Home?

I signed my wife up for it because it is a better deal potentially than what she was currently paying to get 3000 minutes with no free nights or weekends and no long distance calling outside of the South East.

Unfortunately, dropped calls on the WiFi quickly became an issue after hooking everything up yesterday. I'm literally sitting two feet from the router and the call drops. I'm using my own WRT54G Linksys with DD-WRT firmware installed. The calls themselves over WiFi actually don't sound all that different to me from calls through a cell tower. However, we're starting to feel like the "Drop the call" commercials.

Does anyone know if boosting the signal either through the DD-WRT firmware or replacing the antennas would help?

so its VoIP? probably the same problems all VoIP has, it isn't your local wireless that is the problem

have you tested your ISP for VoIP ?
