Hi all,
Is there a way to run a VoIP phone or laptop from my PC that is receiving data wireless? My motherboard has two ethernet ports. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Phil

Our service only connects via Ethernet cords. If you choose to use any type of wireless device to bridge our device to your router would be unsupported. I would advise to connect our device directly to the router or modem to avoid any issues with quality.

Ya sure can :-) http://www.kombitz.com/2010/08/25/windows-7-wireless-bridge/ I do it all the time at my parents. Yes it is unsupported and\or you may have quality issues. Don't let that scare ya! If you don't try ya never know?

Search eBay as well. If you search VOIP and bridge, you will find a device that plugs into the power jack on your phone. You then take the power cord that would normally plug directly into the phone and plug it into the bridge. It works on adapters as well. We used one at work on an extension and it worked perfectly.

I was going to say just look for the ugly blue box. The old blue Linksys were ugly too, but they worked great and lasted. Same with this bridge. I think black or silver would have been more visually appealing, but other than that, the one we purchased at work does it's job really well. We ran those online VOIP tests both wireless and wired and got the same results either way.
Linksys also makes a bridge. We use one of those at work as well on a remote printer. Basically they are both the same, except the Linksys was more expensive, and the Linksys did require 2 power cords at the time, although I think there may be a newer Linksys model that only requires one. But because we are using it with a printer, we would have needed 2 power cords anyhow because the printer is AC, not DC, and uses a different style power port.
