Vonage Dear Forum members,
I have what I hope is a simple question, easily answered
Dear Forum members,
I have what I hope is a simple question, easily answered (please excuse the ignorance on my part). I am in the UK, with UK Vonage service.
At the moment, I have a Vonage setup (which I am very pleased with) that consists of an NTL cable modem for my broadband connection, and the standard LinkSys RT31P2 telephone adapter that Vonage sent me as part of the setup package.
I find I would now like to share my broadband connection around the house via wi-fi, so that I can access the internet from a laptop anywhere in the house/garden. The telephone would stay where it is.
If I did not have the Vonage service, I would know how to go about setting up my wi-fi, i.e. buy a wireless router and plug that into my cable modem.
But how do I go about setting up a wi-fi hotspot for my house given that I have the Vonage service / Vonage telephone adapter cabled in? Do I still go out and buy a wireless router, and plug that into my cable modem and use it alongside the Vonage telephone adapter? Or do I go out and buy and buy a wireless router with telephone sockets and use this instead of the LinkSys RT31P2 completely? - if so, will any wireless router with telephone sockets be suitable for the Vonage service?
If the answer to the last question is 'No', do Vonage supply a wireless router that will give me the local wi-fi I now need, and let me still have my Vonage telephone service ? I notice on their website that they seem to have installation instructions for what look like wireless routers, but they have no information on upgrading from one of their non-wireless adpeters to a wireless one.
If anybody could throw any light on this for me please, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks. :lol:
