Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a phone call?

Pick up the phone and dial. Use 7-, 10-, or 11-digit dialing for calls within the same area code as your Internet phone number. Use 10- or 11-digit dialing for calls outside of your area code.

Can I make calls if my Internet connection is down?

No. Your high-speed Internet connection must be active when you make Internet phone or fax calls.

Can I make calls while I’m browsing the Internet?

Yes. You can make Internet phone or fax calls while browsing the Internet. However, your web browsing may affect the quality of your telephone call, depending on the amount of upstream data traffic passing through your Internet connection.

Can I receive calls while my network is down?

You cannot directly receive calls while your network is down. However, your Internet phone service provider can forward calls to a different telephone number, such as a cellular phone number, if you activate a feature called Network Availability Number. You can configure this feature through your service account.

What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Router will support?

The Router will support up to 253 IP addresses.
