Hi
I am willing to swith
Buy the VTech IP8100-1 phone
but I also want to keep my current Fax printer.
There is an alternative cordless with Rj-11 connection?

or the only option is to go for a wired router, and use an hold analog cordless

Thanks

I'd go with one of Vonage's regular analog adapters and some of the Uniden 5.8Ghz digital (Tru/Clx series) cordless phones. Then you can use any sort of phones/faxes/etc you wish. I'm not a fan of VTech products either.

My way of looking at it is that there are more things that can break in the combined router/phone. If you were to go with VonageTPA's solution, you would only have to replace one part of the system.

I agree as well. You also have a much bigger selection of phones to choose from if you get a plain vanilla Vonage adapter and a separate phone.
