Netgear N300 Telephone

[Chris156]

Hello,

I was given a Netgear N300 (Mod C3000) as a present to replace my ailing router.

I currently have COX Cable in Omaha, NE.

My current COX Cable Modem (Cisco DPQ3212) is also supporting my telephone service (Land Line). All data passes through the Coax cable, into the DPQ3212 which has a separate connector for phone service. 

The Netgear N300 has no such feature. 

Am I correct in assuming that my options are to:

1. Replace the DPQ3212 with the N300 and cancel my land line service. (No great loss, we use cell phones and 99.9% of incoming calls are robocalls).

2. Keep the DPQ3212 (and land line service). Return the Netgear N300 and get a product that is JUST a Wireless Router.

Option 3 isn't really an option. But it would be to make no changes, keep the DPQ3212 and land line service and continue to limp along with a failing WiFi router (not the N300).

there is no retail voice modem for COX. 

you should try another option. Get an OOMA phone and connect it behind N300. you can port your existing number to OOMA. 

we are not affiliated with OOMA but it is just a suggestion.

Thank you.
Going to drop the landline. All I get are robocalls on it anyway...(thanks to 0 enforcement of the FCC laws).
