Vonage Hi everyone. Glad to find this forum. My problem is this.
Ive got cable internet
Hi everyone. Glad to find this forum. My problem is this.
Ive got cable internet access and a wireless connection. I USED to have my connection hook up in the following order. Cable modem, wireless router (Netgear), then Vonage Linksys RT31P2. This was my setup the last 7 months and it worked fine for the most part. I was able to use internet and phone, but seperately. If I would pick up the phone line, it would drop my connection to the internet. I talked this over with a friend who is proficient with various networks and he said I need to switch my routers around and I should get much better connection to the internet and be able to use both Vonage and the wifi connection simultaneuously.
Last night I reconfigured my setup. Now Ive got my connection hooked up in this order: Cable modem, then Vonage, then Netgear wi-fi router. The connection to the internet is faster. The clarity of my voange connection is crystal clear (before it was so so). But, the problem still remains I cannot use them at the same time.
Any ideas, fixes, remedies? Any help please would be greatly appreciated!
Tonite, Im going to try connecting everything up minus the wi-fi router to see if my internet connection still drops when i use the phone line. This might narrow things down a bit.
My friend has a similar setup although Vonage sent him a Motorola phone router and he doesnt have any problems.
Thanks for any help! Dave :)
P.S. Id like to add Ive found various forums where people are discussing this same issue. It seems common, but I have yet to come across a solution.

• Let me guess....you use a cordless phone... I'll take a second guess, it's a 2.4Ghz
• uuuuhhhhh :) It is cordless and its an older one, so it might be 2.4 ghtz.
Now
• what sort of upload speed do you have? If you speed is too low that will cause you
• Ive got 3 mbps down and 256kbps up.
• WiFi happens to run on 2.4Ghz as well...So, turning on the 2.4Ghz cordless phone
• It appears you have sufficient upload speed. Try putting your wireless router
• Thank you much. I'll give it a try tonite.
• I have this setup and it has been working like a champ (with very minor issues):

• Thanks for the tip Vonager!
