Thx
Generally you should have your fax/scanner in-line between your phone signal source (wall outlet) and your phone. Here is a routing sequence where you can just eliminate the element(s) that are not applicable:

Wall Outlet > modem > router > printer/fax/scanner > phone

This is the setup I have with a Comcast setup, but it's probably similar with any provider's incoming signal.

If this doesn't help then you should describe the exact routing you already have set up similar to what I did above so any answers can be specific to your needs.
