Vonage I originally posted this on the Vonage Canada forum. But since this question isn't
I originally posted this on the Vonage Canada forum. But since this question isn't really qeographically specific, I hope there are Americans on this board who would be kind enough and knowledgeable enough to help me out...
Anyway, we are thinking of switching to Vonage but before we do that, we have some questions we need answered.
First of all, what should my network topography look like?
Here is what it looks like with Vonage (I hope it's ok to hotlink the picture for ease of explanation):
Here is what our home topography look like right now: we have 4 computers that are located on each of the 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor of our house. Each PC is connected to a 4-port router (not wireless) using 100Mbps Ethernet, and the router is connected to our cable modem that is connected to a cable outlet on one of the bedrooms (therefore, the cable modem and router are located on the 2nd floor). Our main phone is located on the 1st floor of our house. Using the diagram from Vonage above, the phone adapter will obviously be located on the 1st floor near our main phone. How do I connect the phone adapter to my router? What is the connection that connects the phone adapter to the PC? Is it USB? Ethernet? Is it possible to have the router placed between the cable modem and the phone adapter?
Other questions, we have 3 phones in the house all sharing the same number. Is this possible with Vonage? If so, how? Do every phone have a phone adapter connected to the cable modem? We also have a fax machine that we usually use that also shares the same number as our phone, will this be possible with Vonage without adding a 2nd line dedicated to the fax?
