Honbay 2 Pack Telephone RJ11 6P4C to RJ45 8P8C Connector Plug Cable for Landline Telephone

I bought this thinking that it would be compatible to plug into my Netgear Router Ethernet port and the other end into a regular phone with only a telephone line jack and it did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This works if you want to have your digital phone line signal from your modem travel over Ethernet cables. Our home doesn’t have any phone lines installed, but is wired for Ethernet, so this was the only way to get the signal from the modem to our cordless phones. You’ll need these cables, plus two Ethernet couplers to attach these cables to the existing line. Plug one of these cables into the modem, then use a coupler to attach this adapter cable to your Ethernet line. Do the same thing on the other end, attaching this adapter cable into your cordless phone. It worked seamlessly, assuming you have a similar setup.This cable will not create phone service through your router. You need to have home phone service added to your internet plan and need these cables in lieu of traditional phone cabling. Otherwise they aren’t really useful.

Just what I need for new home with media cabinet and tons on network but no phone lines. I used these to run my phone line from my modem's phone connection which was located in a media cabinet to my phone located in my office. My builder thought it better to put my cable/DSL/network cabinet in the master bedroom closet instead of the office. Home came standard wirh cat6 runs to every room from the cabinet. Of course they offered to run a twisted pair to the office for a sizable fee but a pair of these adapters allowed me to use the cat6 run for a phone line.

The cable does its job, I'm using it to connect a landline that I routed through a cat 5e cable to my adsl modem and it works perfectly.Please don't rate badly if you don't know the use of this cable. This cable won't magically convert adsl to ethernet for example.

I just moved to a new home, and had ethernet cable run from my wiring closet in the basement to my office (actually 4 "home" runs). I didn't want to run phone line because eventually POTS (plain old telephone service) will die. However, my wife likes using the home phone for her business. This allowed me to connect my Fios phone line in the wiring closet to an ethernet jack on my patch panel that connects to the office. Then I connected the other wire to the corresponding ethernet jack in my home office, and the other end to the phone, and immediate dial tone. In my last house I actually patched down 4 of the 8 ethernet wires, which means that jack will need to be re-patched down to be used for ethernet evenually. This solution is far more future proof, as my run remains patched down for ethernet use if and when needed. Perfect!
