my phone service is internet based, will this device allow me to use a cable modem without a dedicated phone port and still use my phone?

This device simply converts a telephone wire with an RJ11 plug to a telephone wire with an RJ45 plug. This adapter can be used where the internal telephone wiring of a home has RJ45 receptacles and the telephone cords have RJ11 plugs. This device has no electronic inside. A telephone can not be plugged into an internet port of a cable modem, using this adapter, and have the telephone work. What is missing is the VOIP electronics. VOIP electronics needs to be wired between the telephone and the internet port.

This device is a router/access point with cloud capabilities. You would need to buy/rent a modem in order for this device to function.

Yes, you need a portable modem with an USB plug. Dongle is where this device goes.

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.

No. This is a router. The cable modem receives the data from your ISP " Internet Service Provider" & sends it to your router "Dir-665." Your router then connects via wi-fi or ethernet ports to your devises such as laptops, tablets, wi-fi enabled smart phones ect. and acts as a high speed traffic control center allowing all those devices to connect to the internet.

No, this is just a cable modem. It only has a ethernet port and a usb port.

Yes, You can use this device with any phone service that is provided by an Internet service provider or a land line with caller I.D.

Yes you can plug in that unit directly into your modem. Output from modem phone line to input on answering device, then output from answering device into phone input. That should work for you.

No. And it actually may make it worse. Cable modem signals have a high low setting. this is why when you buy a cable booster you put that on a separate dedicated line and keep it off the internet modem line

As previously written, since that would be a DSL situation (and I am on cable), I would have to guess that it would but I do not have experience with that. I have no use for the phone jack in my configuration.

No. It will work in conjunction with your cable modem or it will replace your adsl2 modem.

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.

Yes. This requires an Internet connection (preferably reasonably high speed and reliable). The device creates an effective "cell tower" in your home, so your cell phone thinks it has good coverage. But, in order for it to complete a call, or present your device with a data connection, it needs to route all of the traffic over the Internet, hence it needs something like a "cable connection", DSL, or FiOS, etc.

Hi, Jeremy. Since this is a dedicated modem, you cannot finish its setup without a computer with an ethernet jack

The modem does not have a port to connect an external antenna to, but can be used with a cradle style booster (I use Wilson cradle lte booster) or any other Verizon capable booster that doesn't require a direct connection.

No. This modem has (1) Ethernet port. If you wish to connect an additional device to it, you must use a switch or router to add additional Ethernet ports.

Yes, it can be connected to your computer through its available separate/dedicated data port using an Ethernet cable, ONLY IF if you will be using this phone for dial-up internet connection. Otherwise, this is a basic phone with all of its advertised features self-contained within itself. This phone is not designed/manufactured to be an extension of you pc in any other way, either as an accessory or as an extension within a communications software application installed on your pc.
