Do I need a router to use rocketVoIP?
A router manages the distribution of data to and from multiple devices on a network. If you already have a router connected between your broadband Internet access and your PC, you should be able to use rocketVoIP with no problems. Simply make sure that your router provides Network Access Translation (NAT) and DHCP for your network. Most common routers support this functionality. Your current router will allow you to use your computer to surf the web and receive email while using your rocketVoIP phone service. If you have your own router, plug your router into the WAN port instead of using your cable modem Ethernet connection. If you do not have a router, rocketVoIP has a routing feature built into the device, so you will not need to purchase a router. Simply follow our QuickStart Guide to start using rocketVoIP today. Please note: For DSL Internet service, your router is typically configured for PPPoE. Certain cable modem services require that the MAC address is cloned in the router co
