How difficult is this phone to set-up for a home office with an existing DSL connection and phone number?

You will need a VOIP / SIP telephony server. Google "SIP Voip PBX free" then read. You'll figure it out.

In my case I was not replacing a manufacurer's DSL. But, in leu of purchasing the manufacturer's product (AT&T) I bought this one and I was able to hook it up and install and configure the software with very little difficulty. I struggled with inputting the correct server POP but after a couple tries I got it right. I have had no trouble or interruptions of service due to the product, I have been satisfied with router.

I did have to configure my router (through my home computer) to make our mobile devices accessible, but it was relatively easy with a twenty minute, scheduled help-desk call (you are given an appointment time to call in and share-connect with your control computer to avoid on-hold times). I also set up a dedicated dtdns address for greater reliability, but that was free. The Baby WiFi tech walked me through all of that during that twenty minute call.

We no longer have these phones but when we did, we also had DSL but didn't have a problem with the caller ID - it always showed up so I'm not sure I can help. Sorry that wasn't very helpful at all.

No, this modem is compatible with the Comcast system, you should not have to call them to set-up modem.

Yes and NO. You can set it up at home and it might work in both locations. I own two of them and setup one at home. I registered it for work though and it worked in both locations although I plugged it into two different DSL routers.

No, you don't need anything else for this to work if you are connecting this to a normal phone line. You'll need some sort of analog to digital converter if you are using VoIP. It's a great conference phone. Loud and clear.

The Telikin is set to use with either USB and/or wireless capabilities such as WiFi Yes it will also work with DSL as this is how my telikin is now in operation. Hope this helps -- Sharman

If you subscribe to a telephone service with your DSL (VoIP telephone or normal telephone), it will work with the telephone service (you would simply plug it into your telephone outlet). It will not work with DSL alone (which is what your computer uses to access the Internet).

I have only the regular AT&T; DSL and it works fine, but you might need help setting up to AT&T.; Do not make the same mistake I did, I went online and got help from some place in India and they will not stop calling to see if I want to download new software.

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

Hi, We had some challenges in getting this printer set up. I have a PC and my wife has a MAC. We have FIOS internet coming into our home with a modem in the basement. There is an ethernet connector to our offices and a wireless modem (MAC brand). I had an older AIR port, the type that plugs into the wall and has a USB connector. We connected the HP to that and then connected that to the wireless network. I got help for sure. It can be done.

It worked for us but we did have to Google the right numbers to put in for one of the set-up steps and I've heard that CenturyLink isn't very helpful if you call them about it. We've got it up and running now no problem, and we've had it for almost a year.

Hi Linda P.,I see no reason why it wouldn't work as a basic connection modem to ANY DSL-service-provider's Internet input, including that of Century Link. I have AT&T; as my DSL provider because Century Link isn't available in my Zip Code. Century Link DSL service is available in some vicinities nearby to my area in Orlando, FL, but is not available where I live. My problem wasn't getting the ADSL2+ to connect to the Internet via my DSL service, but in getting this modem to work w/ my wireless home network, once I had a direct DSL connection to the Internet. I hope this comment helps you.Best wishes,Anthony J.

VOIP can be pretty data intensive and I wouldn't recommend using this for it. I would go with a powerline adapter

no. That's not the way DSL works. What you need is a range extender. I recommend the AMPED range extender: http://www.amazon.com/Amped-Wireless-Power-Extender-REA20/dp/B00EPGH86O%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00EPGH86O I've purchased this for clients and it is EXTREMELY reliable and certain/simple to set up. A bit dear in price, but you'll forget that after one month.
