How do I install my landline phone through the R8000

I have an existing landline with my fibre connection which I want to physically connect to the router and continue to use. Is it possible to do this as there is no physical phone jack?

 

Otherwise can I transfer this to a mobile device but still retain my number?

 

I am an armature on this so no big words please 😊

        Your isp could have a modem that allows this I know that cable based isp's have this may be your does too.

        If you have fiber based internet service you may be able to use the ont if it has a telephone rj11 jack on it.
