Turning off voice calls while using WMwifirouter?
 

Hey y'all
I have a video conference scheduled soon and I thought it would be the coolest thing EVER to do it from the beach. I'm the IT dept for a small company and I think it would blow their socks off to see what can be accomplished with the mogul, wmwifirouter, and a laptop. I'm nervous about the sand, but I will be careful- it's the suntan lotion that REALLY scares me! (i just thought that wind might be an issue in audio quality as well) :(
Nevertheless, my greatest concern would be receiving a voice call while conducting the video conference. It would kick my link and I would disappear from the meeting. Any ideas as to how to disable incoming calls temporarily during the video teleconference? Thanks again- you guys are the bestest!

Just remembered, I would need some heavier upload speeds as well- with evdo rev a, I'm only hitting 300-400k upload speed... on a good day!!!
Maybe that will be enough, who knows. I'll let you all know how it goes!

Most video conferencing only requires 100-200K upload as that is standard for cable and DSL companies, the majority of commuting exployee's connections. I know we use Live Meeting at my office and I have seen good video and audio feeds from the sales reps with DSL that limits them to about 128k upload speeds.

I would suggest that you try it first, before your meeting, to see how your connection works.

Will do, but the whole thing is not viable unless I can disable incoming calls during the teleconference. I cannot afford to be disconnected in the middle of a sentence -Especially as the "tech guy"

:(

While teathering I don't get kicked off unless I actually answer the incoming call... Just let the calls go to voicemail... As others have said though, test this first...

if I recall switch to airplane mode should work with wifi.

airplane modes means turning off your phone's voice AND data service.

I think It would be worth the $0.20/min to fwd your calls (if any),,, don't ask me how it's done though

ps. your endangering the first two rules!! we don't want any gremlins now do we?
