    Default VOIP with Cable

    I have cable from tel*. I recently brought a wireless VOIP router from my VOIP service provider and managed to connect my desktop and laptops successfully.

    Currently I also have a land line (with tel*).

    When I try and connect a new phone to the router I do not get a dial tone
    (needless to say I cannot make a call)

    I took my wireless VOIP router to my office and tested it, the phone works perfectly.

    Does anyone have this type of set up?
    Has tel* done something so that I will only have to make calls through land lines?
    Is there problems with the cable speeds?

    Appreciate any help on this

    I consider cable to be the best for VOIP for several reasons, 1/ You can get rid of your landline all together if you have a DID service

    2/ Cable gives less echo

    In my work I install quite a few services and cable works be for me

    I use they have good info on how to set your router up so have a look their call rate is only 1 cent a minute and the support is great if you put me (Mal) as your referral they will make sure you are looked after

    yes I have configured my settings with myVOIP router.
    it is just frustrating that when I connect the phone to the router there is no dial tone.

    Mal are you using cable and is your ISP Tel* ? If yes how did you get your phone to work ?

    I am using the router provided by mynetphone. It seems all I had to do was to reset the router.So now it works fine.

    Thanks for the help
