Vonage Honestly, you are over complicating things a bit. Vonage only offers adapters
Honestly, you are over complicating things a bit. Vonage only offers adapters with 2 ports maximum. However, those are to be used with two different lines if you would want 2 lines. So, basically you need to connect a line from port 1 of your phone adapter to the rest of your house wiring. The best way is your option 1 and using a punch down block for all of your phone lines. Also, if you will already have cat5 in the rooms for internet, you can run cat3 for your phone lines. That would save you some cost. Another option would be to only run one or two phone lines to locations in your house and then buy a good expandable cordless system.
The following is taken directly from the Vonage website and it describes the recommendations for whole house wiring. I'm sure they are on the conservative side but because of voltage, there are limitations to the amount of hard wired phones you can use with your adapter. So it may be better to go with expandable phone systems rather than hard wiring 9 phones.
FAQ - Number of Phones Supported and Vonage Range per Line
The number of phones a Vonage customer can have in their home is based on a factor called Ring Equivalence Number (REN). Technically speaking, REN denotes the amount of load a telephone ringer has on the line.
Most telephones have a REN number based on their design. This number can usually be found on the bottom of the phone. Vonage supports 5 REN per line. The total sum of the individual phone REN numbers must add up to 5 or less per line.
When using home wiring, Vonage supports up to 1000 feet of wiring per line.
Let me know if you have more specific questions. Hope this helped.
