Is there a way to get telephone (voice service) a using NetGear Nighthawk CM1100?
I bought a NetGear Nighthawk CM1100 to replace an old Ubee cable modem & router combo provided by Spectrum. I did not realize before buying that the Nighthawk is " not compatible with Cable bundled voice service". I guess that means the telephone land line that comes out of the old Ubee unit. It's too late to return the NightHawk. Is there any way to make my telephone service work with the Nighthwak? I don't mind buying an adapter if needed, but what?

The CM1100 never had the hardware for phone support. The CM1150v does. Also the CM2050v does as well.
