Using Digital Phone and Wireless

[DixieDiva3923]

Can anyone suggest a brand of modem/router that would work for wireless internet and digital phone?

Do you get your internet through a cable provider or ADSL?

I receive my cable and digital phone through a cable provider. And now I want to go wireless but am unsure what to buy.

Your first step should be to contact your provider. They may be able to swap out the hardware you were issued. There might be a fee, but it would probably be cheaper than buying new hardware yourself.

That said any wireless access point (WAP) should work. You will want to know which protocol (speed) you want. A, B, G, N?

Cheers!

I have a wireless router that Verizon provided when I switched from DSL to FIOS (fibre optics). It is working great right now - the computers all have wireless connection to each other and to the internet - but last week there were days when the network was down sometimes for hours at a time. When I reset the router by switching it off then on again the problem went away. Hope it's a permanent fix.

Well my southern hick town of residence had a hard time understanding why in the world I would want wireless, so of course they do not have wireless routers that they can exchange. I had to go out and purchase a wireless one. And sorry that i dont know the technical terms but i ran it out of the modem into the wireless router and kept the phone in the modem, it works, thats what i wanted. Lord I hope i dont ever need technical assistance....

In such case I would recommend you to have Netcomm NB9W. The NB9W is a solid performer, combining a modem, router and VoIP gateway in one, making it an ideal solution for the home or office.

I am glad you posted this question because I am wanting the same thing. I want to go wireless since I have a new laptop and desk top.
