[Electronics-Talk] phone service through router

[David Waybright]

The phone port on the routers or cable modems are NOT RJ45 they are RJ11.


As for ringing, NO phone with a physical bell will work with a VoIP system, router, or cable modem.  you need a phone that has a electronically produced ringer for it to work.


Another suggestion is to call the phone and when you expect it should be ringing, pick it up to see if a call went thru. if not you might have a problem other then the ringer not working!

The router I have has an RJ45 port on the back to plug in phone equipment.
I had tried using an old phone and by old the phone was made back in the
1960's.  Though that was able to call out, it couldn't ring when an
incoming phone call tried to connect.  Probably since the routers do not
put out 25 volts which is what verizon puts out on their traditional
copper wire connected to landline phones that connect into the wall.
I'm curious do phones or phone systems exist that will ring with lower
voltages sent through RJ45 ports on routers?
