To expand from 4phones to 8 or 16, do I need to buy a new router/controller/brain? Love this system

No. You just need to pick up more of the splitter boxes that came with the system. You can connect 4 more phones to each splitter box.

No, there are 4 ports on the back of the Base unit and each port can handle up to 4 phones using standard splitters.

The basic system can support 16 phones. However since it only has 4 physical ports to connect your phones, you will need the splitter/adapter you see offered with the system. Each physical port can support 4 phones for a total of 16 using the adapters. One thing to keep in mind; there is a limit to the combined total length of the wires used to connect your phones.

Yes you have to run physical wire to each extension. Extensions depend on what you order - I think this unit comes out of the box with 8 phones and the capability to expand to 16

Same as previous answer. I started with the base unit and 2 additional phones. It was simple to pair up and now I have added 3 more phones for a total of 5 plus the base unit.

No, you might incur problems communicating with the "wireless" rear speakers. But you might find you like the entire system as much or more than your current setup.

You must have one base station which comes with a phone set and you can purchase from 1 to 11 additional phones, total 12. Just order this item and two expansion phones to total 4. If you order two of this item you will have too many base stations. I have one base station and 4 expansion stations for a total of 5 phones in the house.

It can work either way. If you have a Master controller, then you set these up as secondaries, and can clone all devices and control from either. Or, if you have no Master, then you just add the devices directly to THIS device's own network as Master.

You must have the base phone. Then can add several (6?) slave phones to system.

Of course! We should have all possible peripheral configuration gadgets available in the market from any source and in sufficient quantities to standard plug-and-play your own system whenever you want, guaranteed! I wonder about the OSs, but you may want a standard phone instead, (without the monthly signal contract).

Ues you can. Even though it says you NEED 8gb, dontale the mistake and buy 8- it wont work, uou havr to go to 16.

Yes, you can. We actually have a total of 5 handheld phones on the system. You have to MAKE SURE you get handsets that are compatible with your base unit - not all models work. Each handset is given a number when you set them up and because of this, you can use the intercom to call all units, or just specific ones. My husband's home office has the #5 unit so when I want him I page only his handset. I know there is a limit as to how many additional handsets you can add, but I'm not sure what it is. If it's wasn't for the Blutooth headset issue, I'd give it a 5 star rating.

You don't have to, but you can hook up 2 each of the original controllers of all three systems. I recommend doing that if you can afford to buy them separately. I myself bought one of each. Be careful though, cause some of the after markets aren't the best. It's better to buy the originals but pricier...The wireless controllers that come with the system aren't bad, but the control configuration is weird. On some systems a is b and b is a. It will throw you off till you get used to it. Also you have to be directly in front of the system for them to work and pick up the sensor. Hope that helps Katie.

I am running two rears off of one of these systems and it has worked really well. Looking at wireless receiver for the speaker system it only has hookups for two speakers...I guess you could double up and run four speakers but they would all just be the rears...if you wanted separate zones you would probably have to have more than one system...I don't know if they would interfere with each other of both systems were run from the same receiver. Hope this helps.

You CAN add additional wifi radios. There are Left and Right output lines for other speakers. It's an excellent radio, with its own robust speakers. If you are contemplating this purchase, be advised that there is NO customer support, as VTech discontinued manufacturing this device 2 years ago.

That device will only support 5 APs, but you can then buy extra licenses to make it go further (up to 75 APs). Basically you'll have to buy two 5-AP license packs and have those added to the controller.

Thanks for your reply. Now my decision is whether or not to give up the home phone or buy another router.

Yes. 32 and 64 are good stuff. Download the app and you got it made all wirelessly.

Yes you should upgrade. I bought the magic jack 2014 and have been using it for about two months. Works great for me. jack 2014
