I have a brand new (supposedly highly rated) Belkin wireless router. I have optimum on-line (Cablevision) cable connection. My voip phone started intermittently getting garbled and my internet connection is temporarily “hanging”. I called the cable company a few times and they told me that my cable connection shows a strong signal, but that my router is showing a weak signal. I was not sure whether I should trust them, as I do not know how they can tell that. Of course, I want the prob resolved. My older wired router never gave me any probs. Is there any way to hook up both in the same connection? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

You can do that, just run a cable from the WAN port on the wireless router to a LAN port on the wired router. And then plug the modem into the WAN port on the wired router. I have done that before for a friend of mine that had Vonage VOIP phone and also bought a wireless router. It worked fine.
