BH Phone service with a wifi router?

[veritas]

Cable Modem ===> G Router ===> Wired to Desktop with a laptop via wifi. Any problems setting up the cable phone service?

TIA!

No problem, why would there be? The phone signal never goes through your router

If you get BHN phone service they will swap out your cable modem with a different one that has two phone jacks on it. You can then either plug a phone directly into the modem or run a patch cord to a phone jack to send the service to the rest of the jacks in the house.

Absolutely no problems here with a similar setup, since (as mentioned) the phone service goes no further than the cable modem/EMTA (then to the phone, of course).

I've even torture-tested the line by performing a large download to max out my available bandwidth, while making a call. Neither service suffered at all.

correct.. there should be no adverse result to talkin on the phone and downloading a huge file

if there is... either there is cable damage causing noise or packet loss, or the mta is broken

The phone service uses a different bandwidth pipe (different QAM frequencies) compared to the internet so using the internet at its max won't be a problem for the phone as you aren't maxing out the bandwidth for the phone just the internet. The modems themselves also can handle the phone service with max internet usage as well.

where did you find this information from?

there is 1 QAM freq the mta locks onto. the UBR has 3 different pools of IPs to assign based on host type.. one for data, one for the mta phone mac, one for cable mac (modem mac). the ubr routes the traffic based on that. the device isn't going to pull dual qam frequencies on 1 RF interface. digital phone is essentially VoIP, just provided in a different way

I believe that the VoIP uses a QOS to give priority to the Phone Call Data.

exactly

it is assigned a higher priority.
