Whoa, that's kind of weird. The reason why their phone is not ringing, it's
because that wire that's connected to the modem also Hass to be connected to
the Jack that is in the other room with the modem. So basically, the modem
needs to be plugged into a jack, which wired to the other jack in your
bedroom. That's what needs to happen. There's no splitter involved unless
you're trying to split off two different phones from the same room. So in
reality, you should have four different wires, one that's connected to the
jack from the wall, from your room that you have the motor mean, and the
room that you have the other phone in. Then in the room where the modem is,
there is a another wire that is connected to the jack, which would go from
the modem to the jack. Four getting the the splitter if you're putting a
splitter in there. And then you will be able to power the two if not, you
will be able to plug the phone that's gonna be next to the modem into the
phone jack. Remember how I talked about needing two different plates. Well
the top plate is powering the modem to the bottom plate which is your
regular phone jack. And if you want to talk, and you still don't understand
this process. Feel free to give me a call. I'll be glad to help you better
understand it. My phone number is 254-300-7667.

connected a phone cable from the jack on the wall into the modem. I tested
it and the phone in my bedroom does not ring. I get touch tones but no dial
tone. What am I doing wrong?
