CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
I have the CM1150v modem with voice, have xfinity voice service. If I plug a phone into the back of the modem, phone service works. I need to connect the modem to my wall jack to serve all the phones in the house. When I plug the phone cable into the back of the modem and the other end into my wall jack, none of the phones work. When I had the xfinity equipment, all the phones in the house plugged into their individual wall phone jacks worked. Help!

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
If a phone works directly connected to the CM modem, and not with the modem connected to your home phone wall jack, I would presume the problem would be the wall phone jack and cabling in the home needs to be looked in to. Check to see if the CM modem fully supports being connecte to a in wall phone jack system.

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
Was the main phone line disconnected from the outside phone line on the pole or main phone switch box that connects to the phone pole or service box out side? Possible that this maybe causing problems. Maybe isolate the phone jack system from the phone pole/service box outside and see.

yes, please disconnect any other non-comcast/xfinity lines.
let us know if works after that.
also, please share few pictures of your setup and wall jacks.
If you draw a quick diagram, it would be great.

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
Is there a termincation switch box some where in side the home or garage where the wall jacks all go to or do they all go to the outside box?

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
Just a word of hope, That modem works in a setup just like you want it to. Mine has been hooked up with that modem for about 4 months now. Sounds like something got disconnected that shouldnt be along the way.

No, just the outside box. Its so frustrating because I didn't even have to mess with the outside bix when I was using the comcast rented equipment. I just can't figure out why this Netgear modem isn't just working. I've even tried using different phone cords, nothing. Ugh.

You might get a phone line tech out and have them check your phone line cabling in the home to make sure it's configured correctly.

I suppose you could try another CM1150v modem unit. Possible the one you have could be faulty...

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
do you have any other wall plugs to test with?
what was your previous equipment?
when was it tested last ? couple of months back or long back? do you have access to the main termination point (such as Bedroom closet where everything terminates). Have you checked wether all the wires are connected there?

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
Previous to this, I had traditional phone landline. Several years back had Comcast voice for about 2 yrs before switching back to landline. I don't have a main termination point in my house, it all appears to be in the garage. Will look again, but everything I've checked looks to be good. And was all working just prior to Xfinity porting my number from the landline phone company. I really do not think its my wiring, I've checked everything I can see. Based on all the feedback here & on Xfinity site, I think its either the voice modem just isn't working right or my office phone jack picked the afternoon of my phone number finally porting over to break.
I appreciate all the attempts to help. Still hoping there is some trick I'm missing before I have to buy a new modem.

Re: CM1150v plugged into wall phone outlet but no phones in house work
I thought you had comcast xifnity just 1-2 months but looks like you had DSL type landline phone before this. I am not sure if they have modified the wiring.
Please make sure wiring in main closet is ok.
- What voice port connect to wall plug? Port 1 or port 2? Cany ou take photo
- What’s the voice LED (line1 / line2) status when eMTA online? Solid on? Flashing? Or?
- Can you capture eMTA voice status page, DOCSIS event log page.
- How many phones connect to wall plug?
- What kind of phone connect to wall plug? Can you take photo of each phone.
- Can you just plug one phone on wall plug and offhook, see if there is dial tone. If no, can you capture eMTA event log in GUI. If DUT detect offhook or onhook event, it will record the event in the event log.
- Same as step6, but connect phone directly to voice port 1, offhook and check dial tone, capture eMTA event log in GUI.

Be sure your phone line cable between the modem and the wall jack is good. I recommend the 4 wire/pin cables over any two wire cables.
