You CAN purchase (Radio Shack, etc...) an adapter that plugs into a Ethernet outlet on Router and plug USB into it.

We have MJ Plus and it is plugged directly into the router. Works great. Good voice quality on wireless phone system. We are quite satisfied with MJ.

Thank you. The Net Talk is a brand new start-up so I hope they can make it. Searching for that product helped me find another as well. ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills I do not know if they are more likely to be around ten years from now or not. At these prices, they are both worth considering!

I have mine connected directly into my router - one of the eight ports. I am not sure if it will work via a switch that is connected to the router - but I tend to believe it will because when you obtain this unit, you connect it directly to a laptop or desktop and set it up with an IP address and name and password for the wireless, and thus when you connect it in the location you desire, at that point, it is just another device on your network - so as long as it is wired, my "guess" is that it will work through the router directly or the switch connected to the router, but I have never tested that scenario. Hope this helps a little. I have mine connected directly into my router - one of the eight ports.

Typically, you use the USB port to connect the router to the Internet and then other devices connect via WiFi to access the Internet and the USB shared storage. As for the scenario you described, I doubt it will work...

I no nothing about Magic Jack. This Uniden phone works well with a common telephone connection.

The way it works is you connect it via USB to your computer, it sets up the drivers, then you would be able to connect to any router as if your desktop were now a laptop. So it should be able to connect to their wifi. Whether it is a good connection will depend on if it is in a good enough range and you can get signal there and you will need their password. So just like how a laptop connects to wifi. The last time I used one of these connectors it connected well but it ran hot (it will feel hot to the touch). Did this help?

Hello...The way it is supposed to work you plug one into an electrical outlet along with your internet USB plug from your router. Plug the second one into the electrical outlet where you want to rout the internet to and plug your USB cord into it and the device you are routing it to. Hope that answers your question. Tom S.

I have not been able to install my Magic Jack and have had no help from their web sight. A complete waste of money. I even paid a computer tech and he could not either. I got a great message. 'congratulations from Magic jack but when tried using the next message was.."you are not connected to Magic Jack" What a scam..

I understand that it will work on anything that has a usb port and connects to the internet, but, I found that since the inventor passed away and the company is owned by someone else, the reception is not as clear, cuts in and out. Don't know about the magicjack that plugs into the wall, also, the company is hard to deal with.

Although I never used MagicJack Plus before, I studied it and believe it should work. I assumed that you want to use the MagicJack Plus without a computer. Then you should use an ethernet cable to connect port 1 to 4 of N750 to the MagicJack Plus (not the yellow port labled Internet. That port is for N750 to connect to a cable modem or DSL modem.Good luck.

I am wondering the same thing.What this person is asking is can we connect the phone using USB to the Router and will it see the phone like a 3G/4G USB dongle? My reason is I need to connect a Printer to the Ethernet (Wired) and use an Ipad connected Wireless to the router to have both Internet access (Shared through the phone connected to the Router) and Print in a special application. If I can use my Phone for the internet 'dongle', I have no 'extra' charges from Verizon to deal with.

Jesse Brown. says: I have a magicjack.com for just 39.95 the first year, the second year is 19.95, you can plug into your computer's USB port it requires that you be connected to DSL or Wireless, it will not work with Satelite or dial up.Call nation Wide and the US islands, I am in Fla now and using a Hawking Antenna, I have no landlines just wireless Internet and the magicJack, it works. Just plug in your regular phone line into your MagicJack.Bostic, NC

I use it with Magic Jack, which is attached to router. I do not have land line.

Uh, yes there is no reason to ever turn your modem off unless you are having to reboot it. I have a modem and router combination. Magic Jack was a smart move for me. I am saving tons of money.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

Have you tried this volume fix for the magicJack?http://mjcheck.low.li/2013/07/volume-fix-for-magicjack-plus-with-router/

Was wondering this same thing, found Net-Talk. Think I may try that and dump the magic-jack. Net-talk can work on both a router or a computer and seems to have the same features. Although I have a Magic-Jack I don't have to other yet so comparing the two should be interesting.

The router needs an external USB Modem to connect to cellular networks. That device is the one that would have to work with your provider in order for it to be compatible.For example, I used this router to connect to AT&Ts; cellular network, but I would not have been able to do this if I had not purchased the following device to plug into the router's USB port: Sierra Wireless USBConnect Momentum Global 4G LTE USB Modem - AT&TIt is the USB modem that needs to be compatible with your wireless provider's network, not the actual router itself.I hope this helps.
