Landline phone with own router on FTTP

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?

Oh dear @ladiakhal, dodgy spam links inside an AI copy/paste on Christmas day. So sad.

I don't think you meant to tag @bruce_miranda , I think you have been confused by the forum sticking the opening post on every page, even when the thread is a long as this one is.

It's confused me a few times.

@Jayach  Ugh! You would not believe that I only went to the optician two weeks ago. 😁

ISP - Vodafone Fibre 1 (Dynamic IP)
Router - DrayTek Vigor 2862ac
ATA - Grandstream HT801

I've tried to include everything to make the process as easy as possible.

If only there were another VoIP provider that could provide a complimentary service for adding a Vodafone SIP Trunk 😉

That won't work with vodafone's digital voice service. The proxies are all wrong for a start. May be for business broadband, not home.
