Landline phone and Fttp

[stephenanstis]

How do I connect my landline phone to the full fibre fttp router if they are in completely different floors of the property… is there an adapter to plug into router to allow landline phone to use either hardwired network cables around the house or via WiFi? Vodafone support line was to run a cable… I don’t want to be doing this…

If you have the phone on a different floor to the router, you already have a cable there, it's the BT/Openreach extension cabling.

Just buy a set of cordless phones plugging the base phone via an adapter into the router and then put the other phones elsewhere around your house.

I've done exactly this.

I bought a RJ11 to ethernet converter and plugged the RJ11 lead into the back of the router with the other end being plugged into an ethernet socket next to my router.

At the other end of the ethernet cable I then plugged a ethernet to BT phone converter lead and plugged my DECT phone in there and it works perfectly.

It's important to make sure that the ethernet does not go through any network equipment such as a switch and treat it simply as a dumb cable.
