Can I keep my Linksys Router?

Question

I have a Linksys WRTP54G Wireless Router for Vonage Phone Service. I'm getting rid of Vonage because it's too inconsistant. But, I'm wondering if I can keep and use the router anyway. I have a desktop computer directly connected to it, a desktop computer connected wirelessly, and a laptop computer connnected wirelessly.

btw, i'm thinking of going with comcast, but if i go with another voip like lingo, can i use this router for that phone service?

I'm sorry, I think I'm confusing the issue. I'm keeping my ISP, but changing phone service from Vonage to Comcast Phone.

Answer 1

You won't have to return it however it's useless with another service provider. I've got the same one; tried it a long time ago and also tried packet8. Oh your existing service and can use the router for your home LAN and it will work with your ISP . However, as I said before when switching to VOIP you have to use their equipment.

Answer 2

you can keep the router, so long as Vonage does not want it back. The only part of that router that makes it "vonage specifc" is the actual VOIP firmware, so no, you cannot use that router to interface w/ the VoIP service of comcast, lingo or AT&T Callvantage. But, you still can use it as a router/gateway (so long as you paid for the router, and it'snot a loaner from vonage).

Answer 3

you can use that router with most comcast cable internet services. But they do have a list of equipment that has been already proven to work with thier devices. All you will need to do is plug the router in to the comcast cable modem.

Answer 4

yup, you just have to change the modem (if ever) if your switching ISP. just get some details from the ISP your switching to if they are PPPoE or DHCP , because your router needs to be configured depending on the type of your connection.
