I'm switching from bigpond cable to iinet Adsl2+ and Voip.
I use wireless to connect. Can someone please suggest me a modem that is good and does it all? Also, do I need a special phone for Voip or can i just use my existing cordless normal phone and plug it in to the modem? thanks |

when you say wireless normal phone, you mean cordless normal phone (POTS/PSTN) don't you?

Why do you want it all in one? As soon as one item is superseeded you need to replace the whole dealio. |

What is this "wireless" phone you speak of? A wireless VOIP phone or a cordless normal phone? |

to use a normal PSTN phone (cordless or regular) with VOIP you need an ATA (analog telephone adapter) of some kind. I use a cisco ATA186, which i have had for ages, but there are heaps of them around. Linksys SPA-3000 is pretty neat. It can manage your landline as well as multiple voip providers and feed them all out your normal phone. For a wirelses ADSL2+ router i would get a Linksys WAG54G. They are rock solid and if you want to hax0r it later you can get home brew firmware. |
