Is VoIP supported by Comcast?
Equipment. Xfinity Voice, often known as VoIP, is our digital phone service (Voice over Internet Protocol). It requires an Internet connection and takes your phone service online to provide you with exceptional call clarity and innovative features. You can either rent an Xfinity Gateway or buy a suitable modem and router.
What’s the best way to connect my Ooma to a new router?
For the optimal connection, your device should be placed between your modem and router. Connect the TO INTERNET connection on your Base Station to an open Ethernet port on your router using the Ethernet cable included in the box.
Then plug your analog phone or cordless base unit into the PHONE port on the Base Station with your phone wire.
A software upgrade may be required the first time you plug in your device. If this is the case, downloading the update and booting up for the first time will take about 5-10 minutes. Do not unplug your Base Station while it is upgrading; it will reboot automatically once it is finished.
It’s typical for the status light on the front of your Base Station to blink for many minutes while it’s booting up. When the system is ready to use, the status light will turn solid blue.
