First you connect modem to the internet, than connect router. Cisco is connected to plug #1 of the router in my case. Or see the answer by Mr. Ramos, also correct.

I did not bother using the internal router as I already had a router with wireless. t is possible to plug the spa 2102 into your normal router but preferable to use a switch between the modem and the spa 2102 and your roouter. This way each device, spa and router, is assigned its own ip address by your isp. In my experiance this provides an imprpvement in voice quality. You can plug the spa in between your modem and router but because the tech in the spa is a little old, you may expect a degredation in internet performance.

I left my router connected to the Internet (WAN) as it was before I got the Cisco SPA2102 VoIP "adapter", and connected the "adapter" via Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the original router. Works well.

The router has a special port designed to connect it to the modem (cable or DSL). The router book (manual) should have the diagram and instructions on how to do it. Is actually pretty easy.

Good question. Well it has to be connected to a modem or router that's connected to the Internet Mary.

just install it like a modem and connect it to your router. You will need your modem password from your ISP company.

Yes. The router connects to whatever modem you may have. This comes with an Ethernet cord in the box also.

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

Yes, this just indicates that it needs an incoming connection. You should have a modem from your internet company, that would plug in to the back of the router.

I do not have a definitive answer but I believe you can use the modem without using the router. You can turn off the router's broadcasting ability and send the signals via cables to a router.

You do need to connect to the router or modem for initial set up. After set up is complete, in theory it should work wirelessly. In practice (for me, anyway), the wireless function does not work. I gave up and connected by ethernet cable. Ooma recommends a wired connection between modem and router.

Yes. It is possible to set up your computer to connect to your router automatically after you restart your computer.

Should be able to access the modem via browser at 192.16.1.1 then go through the GUI for set up

Yes, Router will be needed to connect wireless devices.Modem is a short of access point to access intrrnet from your service provider but using ethernet cable. You can buy separate router and create your own wireless network.

Yes, I currently have:modem (cable)>vonage box>wifi router (linksys54g w/tomato)>wired PCs and wireless devices (iPod touch, DS, and sometimes laptop).From what you've said, and what I've read elsewhere, I should be all set with:modem>vonage>router>switch> PCsThanks

No, it is not a modem router combo. You wil need to purchase a router to work in conjunction with the DPC3008.

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

I'm sorry but this is strictly a modem. I bought a wireless router to go with it. I mistakenly answered yes, so i you got a yes from me oops it's a NO. This is strictly a modem.
