Re: [Vonage] Considering VOIP, some questions for
I probably wasn't clear with my question. I currently have a single desktop computer hooked up to a cable modem, no router. If I add the VOIP adapter, still NO router, can I use the phone AND have an active internet connection to surf at the same time? Would there be an advantage to adding a router to that setup?

You still may benefit from a router with only one PC. The issue is one of call quality. If you upload or download while on the phone it may cause breakups. A good router (I use a Linksys WRT54G with Sveasoft Alchemy firmware) will prevent that from happening.
All the devices currently provided, however, will allow you to connect a single PC. So try it that way first. If you have call quality issues you can always add a router later. If not, then you're good to go. |
