Vonage I apparently picked a really bad day to connect the router. Wrestled with is all
I apparently picked a really bad day to connect the router. Wrestled with is all day and it looks like it was an issue with Vonage! :x
Anyway. Here's my problem. The router now appears to work fine. Internet is working again, I can plug a phone into the router and make and receive calls. I want to plug the router into a phone jack and be connected everywhere in the house. The only phone jack by my computer is a line that was formerly used for a dial-up modem. It was specifically installed for it, and has been dead since I went to cable broadband. I opened up the phone box on the side of the house. There are four outlets (jacks) with short phone cords plugged into each. Only the top two are wired. The first one is for all the lines in the house, the second one for the dead dial-up line.
I got a short 1 foot long phone line with a plug at each end (like for connecting an answering machine or caller id), and plugged each end into the top to jacks. So the top two are no longer connected to the outside line from the phone company, and are connected to each other with this jumper.
If you're still reading, this doesn't work. I don't get a dial tone. Does using the short jumper not give me the result I'm expecting? Or is it more likely the internal wiring? The house was built in 1978, if that matters.
