HELP! I have a Vonage internet phone system I just received with a Motorola phone adapter. I also have a cable modem with a linksys wireless router. Can anyone help me with the correct wiring for this puppy? I've called Vonage twice and have been on hold for 30 minutes each time.

HELP!

Luvmyjrt: Ideally, the Vonage enabled router should be connected directly to the cable modem to insure the best quality telephone service by allowing that router to manage the traffic over the network connection. You can wire it differently, ie. connecting the vonage router to the current router and configure them to work together, however that is not the recommended way.

Try reading/printing the necessary examples from the Vonage Installation Guides. Take a look at the one titled 'Installation with multiple computers' for what I presume is your current system.

Hope this helps.
