HI,
I have a glasfaser modem 2 and am using my own mesh router to login via PPPOE.

I would like to connect my existing phone to be able to use my assigned landling numbers. Is there a way to do that?
Or do I have to buy a new Voip phone?
Any restrictions or compatibility issues there?

The router is not a Fritz box.

Can someone please help and advise?

Thanks and regards,
Mak

Hello @Makdt ,

 

Welcome to the community.

 

which router is that?

And what phone do you currently have?

 

Basically, you can enter the phone numbers in the router or have them configured automatically and assign them to the phone. Either via DECT or on the TAE socket of the router.

 

 

The Tenda lacks the required hardware to do what you want.

 

Your Panasonic phone probably has a base station for analog telephony (we'd need to know the exact model to know for sure), so you'll probably need a separate box called an ATA (analog telephone adaptor) to connect your phone to the internet via the Tenda router. See here for example.

 

These boxes are usually not made for Deutsche Telekom specifically and thus need manual setup to work. Be sure to get an ATA with support for DNS-SRV. The required settings are here.

 

An easier solution would be to get a Fritz!Box and either use it in IP client mode behind the Tenda or put the Tenda in access point mode and use the Fritzbox as your Router. The Fritzboxes usually have at least one analog phone port and know all the settings for Deutsche Telekom, so setup is much easier compared to an ATA.

 

 

Hi there @Makdt,

 

thank you so much for the pleasant exchange on the phone. Should you run into any more uncertainties, please let us know, and we'll tend to them right away.

 

Kind regards
