Set up Home Run Wiring and Vonage

Posts: 3 · New Forum Member Joined: Apr 04, 2006 Posts: 3

Looking to move to Vonage, couple of questions:

Currently All jacks are "home run wired" to central location. At location I have Cable Modem and Wireless adapter.

Can I simply "remove" teloco Line from Punch down block- which feeds all jacks and plug in Voip adapter @ any available jack to power whole house? Can I connect Voip Directly to punch down block?

Should I buy Voip Router or Replace Wireless Router with Voip Router?

Since I Have Directivo, fax, and regular tivo, anyway to test to see if Vonage will work for me before making the switch?

Yes.

Yes. This would also work.

That is up you you. I bought a PAP2 because I like the wireless router that I have and I want to be able to remove the PAP2 or the router from the equation when/if I have problems.

There is no way to be sure without getting a Vonage line and trying it out. Many people have made this work. Others have not. It may depend on the quality of your internet connection.

There is a lot of useful info in the sticky post at the top of this forum:
