Landline phone with own router on FTTP

[bruce_miranda]

Just got FTTP and everything is working fine off the VF router. Phone lines are plugged into the VF router, VF router's WiFi is switched off. 3rd party Mesh has been switched to Bridge mode and plugged into the VF's ethernet port.

However I am shocked at how feature poor the VF router is. e.g. There are no Parental controls at all. I know I can get rid of the VF router and plug my own Mesh router into the Openreach ONT, but what about the Landline. 

Are there any 3rd party routers in the market that have a telephone socket at the back to allow the home phone to be plugged in?

Great job in getting this working. I was going to do this some time this week on my HT812. Can you please help me get this working. 

All I have from Vodafone are a fixed WAN IP, my voip user id and password.

Hi .@bruce_miranda, well I am not sure I can help much it was .@cf996 that did all the work, but I am happy to pitch in where I can. It looks like the static IP is a must have which Vodafone will supply if asked.

[bruce_miranda]

I already have the fixed IP. Can you please share the configuration file that you have now with everything working.

Where did you get the Outbound proxy details from?

Also I assume the NAT IP is the fixed WAN IP that Vodafone assigns you?

[Xjacko]

I had some help from someone I was talking to about the HT801 hardware coincidently.  As for the wan static ip, yes from a Vodafone WiFi expert in my case, I've had that a while but from memory I don't think they actually tell you it. Once Vodafone confirm you have a static ip confirmed and active you can just ask Google 'what's my ip address?'

What led you to believe the Outbound proxy is sensitive information that relates only to you?

[Xjacko]

I'm not sure I did, I was fishing around on the Web and different forums together that's all. I don't claim to have the answers just added stuff I found to the melting pot. Is this important? 

[bruce_miranda]

You have redacted the Outbound proxy field in your configuration file. Hence my question. Is the Outbound proxy field user sensitive information or generic to all Vodafone users.

[Xjacko]

Sorry, yes I beg your pardon. The outbound proxy server details are one of the four SIP details provided to me individually by Vodofone. FYI they were... SIP_LINE1_PASSWORD : *************
SIP_LINE1_URI : *********
SIP_LINE1_USERNAME : **********
SIP_OUTBOUND_PROXY : **********
SIP_REGISTRAR_SERVER : **********

Sorry again, hope that clarifies things.
