A couple options I’ve used that work pretty well and are very affordable:

@DustinB3403 said in Yealink T42S with WF40 USB WiFi:

Are you able to test the adapter on any other phones?

No, the person's home is not local and she only has the one phone. I am probably just going to send her a wireless bridge and have her connect that. Eventually I will get the wifi adapter from her and can play around with it.

@DustinB3403 said in Yealink T42S with WF40 USB WiFi:

Dumb question, but if you're using a PoE injector, why not just connect an ethernet cord?

Phone is at user's home. They do not have a network connection in their home office. I was trying to use the WF40 as a wifi option. My next thought was to purchase a wireless bridge and then just connect the other end into the injector.

I was also thinking maybe I received a bad WF40

@syko24 is the PoE on "no network" or is there some network info coming from that port?

Correct, the lan side of the injector is not connected to anything.

@JaredBusch - I think the problem is because I have an Ethernet cable connected via the injector. I had purchased a poe injector to power the phone instead of the regular ac adapter.

Has anyone used the WF40 wifi adapter with a T42S? The instructions say to plug in the USB adapter when the phone is powered on and it will prompt you to connect to a wifi network. When I do this there is no prompt. The phone is being powered by a power injector through the Ethernet port. I am not sure if that is the reason for not getting the prompt. Possibly you have to have a regular AC adapter for this to work??? There should also be a Wifi menu option under Basic Settings but that does not exist either.

To clarify, the EdgeRouter X can be put into switch mode.

I’ve used an EdgeRouter X with a POE injector to power it because there was no power at the halfway point. If you have a spare injector from one of their access points or need to install on where the switch sits in the middle the EdgeRouter X has pass through POE on the last port.

@JaredBusch - Yeah the only reason for the confirm setting was to avoid any calls going to the callee's cell phone voicemail. I would prefer to eliminate it but what if the person's cell phone is off. Then it is always going straight to their cell voicemail which I want to avoid.

@aaronstuder - I think the combination of the confirm call and the announcement "please wait while we connect you" is the way to go.
