D-Link DVG-G1402S VOIP SIP Router wireless

    VoIP noob here, thinking of dropping Eircom and using my NTL broadband for VoIP.

    Currently have the 250 modem with a Netgear wireless router off it. Now am I correct in assuming that the piece of kit above (the D-Link yolk) could replace my Netgear i.e. that it has the wireless router piece with the firewall etc. plus the VoIP bit I need to plug my standard cordless phone into?

    Alternatively if I get the slightly cheaper non-wireless D-Link DVG-1402S VOIP SIP Router, I guess I still need my Netgear for the wireless bit?

    Finally if I get the non-wireless one, which is also a router, how do I connect these? Would it be:

    NTL 250 modem ---> VoIP router ---> Netgear wireless router

    or

    NTL 250 modem ---> Netgear wireless router ---> VoIP router?

    Can you connect two routers together, and disable the "routing" function on one of them? (Would they conflict otherwise?)

    Thanks! :o

    You can probably just use the LAN ports of the netgear, and use it as a wireless access point, rather than a router.

    But you'd be better off buying the "all in one" device, and selling the Netgear on buyandsell.ie or adverts.ie- you'll probaby save the difference in electricty usage alone by only having one device plugged in anyway.
