Vonage and a LinkSys WCG200 -- WIll it work?

Posts: 170

I have a LinkSys WCG200 which is a combination Cable Modem, Router and Wireless Access Point all in one. My plan is to attach the Vonage box (Router - Moto VT2442) to a wired port on the WCG200. The WCG200 will assign an IP address to the Vonage box. Like this...

Comcast Cable --- WCG200 -- VT2442 -- Phones

There are 4 other devices (PC's & Network printers) and I use the wireless connection for a laptop or two. Anyone have experience with this -- good or bad?

I don't, but it ought to work. If you can set QoS in the modem/router to favor the Vonage box, you should do that.

I switched to the Linksys WCG200 a couple weeks back. I am not a computer/VoIP expert, but here is what I can tell you. I run a CAT5 cable from my WCG200 LAN to my Linksys Vonage router (RT31P2-VD) WAN connection. I also run a CAT5 cable from my WCG200 LAN to my desktop PC. Everything works fine. I have a laptop that I am able to use on a home network and access the internet, print to my deskjet, that is wired to my local desktop, share files, etc. no problems. The phone has worked fine too.

For what it's worth, I am using Comcast for my cable/ISP in the Chicago suburbs.
