I have the possibility of sharing my neighbours internet connection to save costs for both of us. This will mean that I only have access to his router via WiFi.

At present I have two VOIP lines (one DrayTel and one Sipgate) which connect to my router via two separate analogue telephone adapters (wired).

I have searched the internet and there are several WiFi ATAs which I could use in the new scenario. I would like to know if anyone has experience of any WiFi ATA (good or bad) that they could recount here.

Thanks.

Better off configuring your router to be a wireless bridge, that way you can still used wired devices. You lose the NAT functions of the router, but if you trust the neighbour (well, you're both sharing I guess), you'll be on the same network as them.

I'd back the wireless bridge solution as well. I've had experience of using BT diverse elements dect phones with ATA's to get voip coverage (up to 1km) over a large distance and across many buildings as it was more reliable than WiFi but than would need the ATA and dect transmitter to be router side whilst you retain the dect mobile and charging station.

Another thought, if you have a smartphone, or a spare one, you could get some VoIP software and keep the wireless connected all the time.
