Q&A: Is there any way of using VoIP without computer – eg through a router’s ethernet port?
Question by dezza: Is there any way of using VoIP without computer – eg through a router’s ethernet port?
I’d like to use a VoIP service, but would prefer not to have to leave the computer on all day.
Is there any way I can avoid using a PC to make and receive calls – are there any adaptors that can be plugged straight into an ethernet router?
Thanks in advance.

We have voip and the phone (a standard phone, not a voip phone) plugs straight into the router. It works regardless of whether the computer is on or off.
You can also use a VOIP adapter [its a small box like a modem], which plugs into your modem (phone plugs into the adapter)
All you need for VOIP is a VOIP router OR a VOIP adapter to plug into your modem, and a broadband connection. The computer is not necessary.

Question by Michael: How to connect 2 wireless routers together with a VoIP?
Here’s my situation. I have my cable modem and wireless router downstairs. My office however is upstairs and I have a VoIP phone that needs a hard connection to a router. I don’t want to attempt to run cables through my walls. I do have a second wireless router that I would like to put up stairs for my VoIP phone. Ideas and/or solutions?

you need to use a wireless bridge, it will connect to your wireless network and you plug a network cable into it. if your router has an “access point” mode, that will work too.
good luck
