Do you know if the ASUS RT-AX86U 5700 can connect VoIP Phones for Home Users? I have an ISP Connected VoIP Setup that seems to be directly linked to the ISP Router, the ISP Provider is a major British Telecommunications (BT) Company but their Techs do not know how to connect their VoIP Handsets to any 3rd Party Routers at all... And our Government has decided that Copper Cables will no longer be supported, forcing us all to use VoIP when their seems to be no support for 3rd Party Routers... There must be a way to connect a VoIP Handset to the Modem or Router without having a PC on all day to support the VoIP Handsets Connectivity surely...?

Hey @@williamduplooy, with each network setup being different, we recommend working with the hardware manufacturers directly to ensure they can support your cloud phone needs. However, we do have a VoIP setup guide that walks through all the steps necessary to start making calls using the hardware described in this video: www.nextiva.com/blog/voip-installation-checklist.html.

@@nextiva. Thank you I have now sent an e-mail to ASUS Support today - I have noted that there are Webpages and Forums where VoIP and my Router are discussed as potentialy opertaing together... So there may be hope yet (I hope). Thank you - yes the Hardware and Software Inetface complexeties are I suppose Infinite with multiple factors playing a role in compatibility and setup. Thank you the basic setup for VoIP is reasonably clear - I first have to get to grips with Compatability it seems. Thank you for the help.

if I have a WIFI router that is from Xfinity do I still need a motem as a home voip?

[@nextiva]

Hey there! Good question-- we recommend talking with your internet service provider to ensure you're set up with the right internet hardware at home. Some providers offer routers with the modem built in, otherwise it will be a separate piece of hardware as shown in the video.

I want connect several VoIP phones in hotel, I want four VoIP phones to be able to call the front desk VoIP phone (not at the same time). Do i still need to assigned special VoIP numbers. Or what do I need to connect that since the phones will be calling only VoIP phones on my LAN

[@nextiva]

Hey Ayebazibwe, you might want to explore the benefits of SIP trunking versus hosted PBX solutions in this particular case. We've got an article on our blog that may help you decide what the best solution is for your hotel: www.nextiva.com/blog/hosted-pbx-vs-sip-trunking.html

But are phone calls free or will there be a charge per call?

[@nextiva]

Great question! Nextiva is one simple monthly charge per user with unlimited voice and video calling (plus lots more!). Check out our pricing page for all the details: www.nextiva.com/pricing

[@carlosalmanza546]

I want to connect an office phone like the one in the video, do I still need a ethernet switch?

[@nextiva]

Hey Carlos, great question! An ethernet switch is not an essential item for connecting your VoIP phone to your internet- its purpose is to provide more ethernet ports for convenience. Instead, the ethernet cable can connect the phone directly to your router and connect to the internet from there. For a more detailed explanation, check out our VoIP set up guide here: www.nextiva.com/blog/how-to-set-up-voip.html#s5

hi, i would like to setup a voip phone system at home, just as a fun project, as i want to start working in the IT industry and would like some practice. Also i just like having a lan line just incase, is it possible for me to get service for free? i already have internet, and a old cable modem/router combo, and a old dsl modem, can i get this going with mostly what i have? thanks

[@nextiva]

which brand IP phone can be use for home like comcast voice or other residential voip? which brand and model phone can plug and play just connect internet to any service?

[@nextiva]

Hey Bo Yu, most IP phones will work across a wide range of cloud service providers, but it's best to first check with the provider if they support the exact phone you want. If you'd like to see some of the IP phones Nextiva offers that would work seamlessly with our service, you can check them out here: www.nextiva.com/products/voip-hardware.html

[@RadarFinsR]

Oh you cheeky lad, this isn't a tutorial it's an AD! gotta respect it though

[@nextiva]

We're always here to help. If you also happen to need an amazing business phone service, we're here for that, too. 🔥

[@williamnunez9609]

Rare modems have a direct VOIP connection built-in like the nighthawk CM2050 can you use that with like google business, or is that tied to using Comcast triple play if that's your provider, and would the call quality be better if you could, or is that just bandwidth dependant when it comes to calling quality.

[@nextiva]

Hey William, Nextiva has a list of recommended routers for our service (the NETGEAR Nighthawk X10 being one as of this video's posting), and you can check that list out here: www.nextiva.com/support/articles/what-routers-are-compatible-with-nextiva-service.html For more technical questions about modem/router setups, we recommend reaching out to the respective manufacturers. If you'd like to test your modem/router's ability to support VoIP, we have a VoIP speed test that can be used here: www.nextiva.com/resources/voip-speed-test.html
