The device he's setting up is a Cisco/Linksys SPA2102, it's not a Cisco/Linksys PAP2T. The SPA2102 contains a router and has both a WAN and a LAN port. It's DESIGNED to attached directly to the modem in front of any other PC or Router.

PC(s) -> ExistingRouter -> Cisco SPA2102 -> Cable/DSL Modem -> Internet

If you dont want your VoiP device to be "first" and would rather put it behind your existing router, you should get the Cisco/Linksys PAP2T _or_ hook up the WAN port to your router.

This' s not correct. If you have a router it could already be connected to your modem. Leave it as is and just connect the blue wire that was sent with the phone adapter, connect it to an open port on the router and the other end goes to the blue port on the phone adapter. Plug your phone into line 1 and you re good to go.

@utubepunk The ATA should be behind your NAT router. Internet comes into your router and ATA is plugged into one of the LAN connectors. I set a static IP for my VOIP box like 192.168.0.50 I also port forwarded ports 5060 and 5061 (SIP ports) from the router to the VOIP on 192.168.0.50

Good basic demo. There is a bit more though to it than that when I set up my linksys VOIP box. I had to log into the VOIP box which is like logging into a router using the web browser and set the User ID and password I got from my VOIP provider and also enter a dial plan which is a long string of numbers which instructs the VOIP how to dial numbers like 911 and 411 and other information numbers.
