Victor -- Yes, it can. That's how we use it most of the time. The phone we have is even capable of handling two lines so if you had a traditional landline you could connect both it and the VOIP line to the same handset. If you want to attach the OBI202 to your wall jack (enabling the signal to travel through the whole house), that's a different animal and requires a lot more work. But you can connect the base to your cordless handset without a problem.

My first answer is no, the cable does not make an internet connection out of a telephone line, it converts a telephone phone connection to Ethernet so the phone service can be carried over the Ethernet cable. Usually the conversion would take place on both ends with another RJ45 to RJ11 adapter, when you hook everything up, you still only have a connection for a telephone with dial tone. I use these for connecting the incoming phone service to my patch panel in the basement, which then uses Ethernet cables to carry the signal to an individual room, there I can use another RJ11 to RJ45 adapter to plug the telephone in.

This should protect phone line to modem. Should be no different than a jack by means of compatibility. As R. Darst said, I cannot confirm it does either, but would suspect it does.

Not directly. If you are planning to use a VOIP provider for your phone service you will need a router from the phone service provider. There is not phone connection on this modem.

You can plug your phone, cable and powered devices into this for full surge protection. It does not slow your speed or affect your devices in any way. The surge protection is a passive device and has no effect on the equipment. If your're using DSL then plug the phone line coming into the house into this device first then use the supplied cable to continue the connection to your modem. If you have a surge in the power or a possible lightning strike near the house then this device kicks in to absorb the extra energy. This may not protect a direct lightning strike so I also use a Supco SCM150 Surge Protector on the main breaker box of the house as added protection.

No, it does not hook up to a regular phone jack. It is a Voice Over Internet Protocal. Instead of a 4 pin wire it takes an 8 pin wire. The same as a 10/100 ethernet cable. It does have a plg for you to put a headset to it. I would recomend getting the power supply with it. Hope that helps

I have this DSL modem/router. It is for phone internet (internet through the phone company) and not cable router (through cable company). I had trouble setting it up... come to find out it was the phone company's issue... they connected my internet to a second line! Other than that... the device has worked spectacularly. No issues!

Not sure. There's only one input jack for one phone line cord. I suppose that if you somehow had 2 or 3 different hard-wired phone lines (with cords) and if you bought an adapter, you would be able to route all those phone line cords to the device. (Mine still works fine after the idk how many years I have had it.)

We have Windstream DSL and land line phones. I put a filter ahead of the telephone company's interface which is the grey box right where the phone line comes into the house. Then I plugged the modem into the DSL port on the filter and the phone lines into the other port. So I use one filter, to take care of about 5 landline phones plus the modem. This seems to work just fine.

It depends on how you want to use it. If you have a multi-handset cordless phone, then you can plug the "master" or main unit into the Xlink, and all the others one will work. If you want to use this with regular corded phone, then yes you need to plug it into the wall jack, but don't forget to the disconnect your line from the outside at the Network Interface Device (located where the phone line comes in from the outside, usually in the basement).

Yes this is corrrect. In our home office, the main phone has a landlline connection wall jack plus electrical outlet. Elsewhere in the house, the other one is plugged in to only anelectrical outlet. It is a good system for a small office.

No, this is not a router, is an adapter so you can make calls with your "house phone" via internet (VoIP)

you need this device if your phone service is one pert of the house and you can't run wires to another part where you'd also like service. You need phone jacks to plug into this, one on each end. If your phone service provides a phone jack that allows you to plug a handset or fax machine into it, then this should work.

I use this modem with VOIP. You can not plug a telephone directly into the modem - you must have other equipment to do that. In my case, I have an Ooma Telo that plugs into my Internet connection, and the phones plug into it.

I own this modem, the only plugins on the back are a ethernet and a usb plugin. I have a magicjack for my phone service and I have to plug it into my router. I believe with most internet based phone services you will have to have a router to hook your phone up, unless you get something like phone service thru Comcast, then their modem has a phone jack built into it.

I've used these as an extra phone line extension, but don't know about using it as a DSL outlet.
