Questions from a dummy, sorry about this! I'm on VM cable "M" with a Motorola Surfboard - only one ethernet port. I've just acquired a Siemens C460IP VOIP phone which also requires an ethernet connection. What's a good (cheap) hardware route to connect all this up? Am I right in thinking I'm going to need a router? Will the router need to have the QOS voice priority implemented? Does VM know or care what kind of router sits behind the modem? Is a modem/router a possibility? Any input greatly appreciated.
