VoIP Router : What is it?

voiprouter1

A VoIP router combines the functions of an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) and a high-speed internet router. Its features are similar to a cable or DSL router, except for an additional ATA port that connects to the telephone. It typically has a wide-area network (WAN) port for connecting to a high-speed cable or DSL modem, one or two ATA ports for linking up analog telephones, and two to four LAN ports for connecting to a PC network.  

Connecting a VoIP router allows the analog telephone to function as a VoIP phone without blocking Internet access to the computer. It also allows the use of a software-based phone on the computer for making VoIP calls. It helps save on space, cable connections, and call costs, as it eliminates the need for individual ATAs.
