ooma office - Alternative Setup Options; Option A: Install Base Station Behind Router

Alternative Setup Options
The Ooma Ofce Base Station is exible enough to work in almost any network congurations and
with a variety of devices. Review the following options to see if any of them apply to your situation.
Option A
Install the Base Station behind your router
Connecting the Base Station behind your router is easy, but does not allow the device to prioritize
your phone calls over other network trafc. This may result in poor voice quality when your
Internet connection is busy. Ooma recommends that you install the Base Station in between your
modem and router as described in Step 2 of Setting Up Your Base Station (page 9).
Use the included Ethernet cable and connect the TO INTERNET port of the Base Station to an
open Ethernet port on your router.
