Vonage sent me a Linksys RT31P2 router for my most recent VoIP line.
Because of the layout of the building, wiring, etc, I need to place the
Linksys in a back office, a long way from where the cable modem resides. I
have network access in the room.
My question is: Can I connect the RT31P2 to my network and make it work in
switch or bridge mode, so that the PC connected to it can remain on the LAN?
I was not able to figure out how to make this work, so I connected a small
switch in the room, then connected the RT31PT to one port on the switch and
connected the PC to another port on the switch. The phone port doesn't seem
to care how the Linksys interfaces to the LAN, but the LAN ports do.
I can provide more detail for those unfamiliar with the RT31P2 who might be
able to help me work something out. For those who've used the RT31P2, I
think you might understand why this is a problem.
Or perhaps I'm just too ignorant to make it work without help.
thank you,
jm
