PostPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:03 pm    Post subject: Connecting two phones into one rt31p2 router Reply with quote Back to top

Didn't find this anywhere else sooo...I have my Linksys RT31P2 hooked up and working fine but I want to hook up another type phone to the Internet connection and I can't seem to make it work.

My main house phones are 5.8 gHz portable phones with one base station; I've hooked the base station into the router and that and the other 3 portable phones around the house work great. But I have one WIRED phone I want to also hook up. So, I figured I could just plug it into the Line 2 connection on the back of the router; nope, I found out after it didn't work that that is for a separate number (or fax number). So, I figured I could just put a splitter jack into the Line 1 connection, plug in the portable base station, and plug the other connection into my house wiring, then the wired phone could just be plugged into any jack in the house...nope. When plugged in that way, the wired phone sounds like an open connection, but there is no dial tone.

Anyone have any ideas..like, should this work or not? Is there some setup that I (or Vonage) has to do? It doesn't seem likely for Vonage as I am not adding another phone number, just trying to use a portable and a wired phone on the same connection (Line 1).

Thanks for any assistance....I'm getting kind of tired listening to the commercials while I wait for customer service...Wink

There is a lot of information on this site about this topic. The key is to not plug a phone into the home jacks if you have not disconnected the lines to the outside box. There could still be voltage that can damage your adapter. This is assuming you don't currently have a POTS line.

You could use that splitter on your adapter, run the wired phone into the second slot there, and use that one near your computer.

yeah dude, there is prolly 6 other posts on this very forum page abou tsuch setups.. it is very easy to do, you are mostly there, just go d/c your old phone company's connection at a box in yoru basement, or on th eoutside of your house.. then you're good to go, it will work if wired correctly and the way you're doing it is simple and the easiest, just go unhook your old company's wiring and your phones will work all over your house Very Happy

?? Okay, thanks for the tips but there aren't other posts about my problem I could find. I ALREADY isolated my house wiring....I've TRIED to use the splitter (one line TO my house wiring to activate all the phone jacks to my house) the other directly to my portable phone. One will work, but not the other.

Thought maybe someone would have run across the same problem trying to use 2 different type of phones on one port.
