I think so. We have the IDNet-supplied V230x. From what I've read, it's better to have a separate base station for the DECT phone so they don't compete with other gadgets using wifi. So I wouldn't want to plug a DECT phone straight into the router.
There is the additional option of doing away with any sort of voice package allied to your FTTP connection. Instead you go to one of the independent VoIP suppliers, put their app on as many mobiles as you need and port your landline number to that supplier. Do away with all of the phone paraphernalia in the house and then calls to your previous landline number will come to as many mobiles as are registered with the app (so you can answer your "house" phone even when you are away or out). Provided you have a mobile signal at home you will continue to be able to make and receive calls on both mobile and "house" number in the event of a power cut (until the mobile mast dies when the backup battery there runs out of puff).That would work well for someone who likes to use mobile phones, but I much prefer landlines!
Do you have a router with an FXS port?I think so. We have the IDNet-supplied V230x. From what I've read, it's better to have a separate base station for the DECT phone so they don't compete with other gadgets using wifi. So I wouldn't want to plug a DECT phone straight into the router.
The only downside, of course, is the loss of service should there be a power cut, but if you have cordless DECT phones, than they wouldn't work in a power cut anyway, so that's a bit of a moot point in my circumstances, but I can understand the concern for those that may use a Careline, or other equipment that relies on a PSTN line.
