How do i use my AC1600 WiFi Cable Modem Router

Just purchased this.  Looking at the picture on the box, I don't see a place to plug in my telephone (landline). 

On my current moden from Optimum, there is a spot for the phone line.

Also, I now have a separate router.  Where do I plug those into on the new Netgear modem/router?

    You would need to have the C7100V that has phone line connections. In order to have phone you still would need a separate modem from your ISP.
