I have a 4 port wireless router. Out of ports and need to add 2 VoIP modems. How?

Question

I have a D-Link 4 port wireless router. Right now, all 4 ports are occupied by 2 PCs, a networked hard drive and print server. I need to add 2 VoIP modems (from SunRocket). What do I need to buy? A switch or another router? What setup do you suggest? Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Answer 1

You just need a 4 port switch or hub. I would suggest unplugging the print server and connecting the switch/hub to that port on your router, then connect the print server and voip modems to the Switch/hub.

Question... Are you sure you can have two VOIP modems connected to 1 phone line? I dont think that will work..

Answer 2

Buy a 4 port switch. Remove one wire from the lan side of the router and attach it to a port on the switch. Attach the two VoIP modems to the switch. Attach a cable from the upload port on the switch (there may be a button to press on the switch to convert a port to upload, depends on manufacture and model)to the now open port on the router.

That will extend your networking capabilities
