Can anyone hazard a guess at how you're supposed to plug a phone into this router socket.. router has SIP capabilities, all set up and configured, "landline" number assigned on the account, router shows Status = Up, so all good to go.
Partner fancies the idea of us having a "landline phone" to ring mother.
It's been a long time since I had a landline so we bought a cheap £4 handset.
One end of the cable plugs into these sockets fine. But it's the "wrong way round" in as far as - the other end of the cable, is the one which would normally plug into a fixed line phone socket. Which then doesn't plug into the handset.
Do I need a cable which has the same gender/type of connector at both ends, or is the router supposed to have a different type of phone plugged into it - I had a quick look but all the phones I can see that are marketed as "VOIP phones" seem to have USB connectors for plugging into a PC.
So a bit mystified.. thanks..
