Magic Jack Hookup
I have just canceled my Century Link Phone and ported my number to Magic Jack. I have also changed my internet to Comcast from Century Link.
I purchased a Comcast compatible Modem/Router nd installed it in my living room without thinking about Magic Jack. When Century Link ported my landline telephone number, I then installed MagicJack. My central phone control unit was installed on kitchen counter, and I followed instructions to install this unit next to Magic Jack . This meant that I had to move it to the Living room. Took a satellite phone into kitchen. Every thing works but we are so used to the central control unit greeting us with blinking light if any messages in the kitchen. Yes, I could move the Modem/Router to the kitchen and connect Magic Jack there but then have wire clutter on counter. Everything is wireless except for the master phone base. Seems that the Magic Jack connection forces the phone base to be next to Modem Router. I am sure there must be a simple solution but my brain is not seeing it. Any help appreciated. |

I have my own cable modem and a separate wifi router in the guest bedroom. The magic jack is located there and the ether-net end of it is connected to the router and the phone cord end is plugged into the telephone wall jack in the bedroom. In the kitchen we have the wireless phone/answer machine base station plugged into the phone outlet. The phone signal should back feed through out the house and the base station could be in any room with a phone outlet. I use this setup up north with Spectrum and in TV with Comcast. |
