I have tried to find some info on how to set-up but I am really confused. This is what I have right now. I have an exsisting Netgear Wireless Router networked to my tivo. I just signed up for the Vonage with the Visa 9.95 deal and got the Linksys RT31P2 router.

I am so confused about how to set this up. I have a Panasonic Cordless phone with Dual handsets and one computer. My computer is in the upstairs guest bedroom and I want to have a phone downstairs and one in my bedroom upstairs. How do I set this up? Do i need anymore equipment??

Sorry if this is a dumb question or the answer can be found somewhere - Vonage is very new to me and I am just really confusd about how to set this up. Thanks!!

Which ISP? How are you devices connected (eg wireless or wired)?

Unless I'm missing something....

Plug the RT31P2 into one of the empty ports on the Netgear, then put your Panny's base station next to it. Then put the phones wherever you want them in the house. You might need one more accessory charging cradle if you want to put the main phone somewhere else, but you should be just fine with that.

TWC - Road Runner.

Tivo and computer are currently connected to a Netgear wireless router.

just connect the Internet port of the rt to the netgear and you'll be all set. just want to tell you that if you're using a 2.4GHz cordless phone, you might have interference problem, that is if your netgear router is using the same freq
