I have the internet modem/box contraption for phone and internet service. but my phone only works when plugged into it, not any of my wall phone outlets. am I stuck using the box for my base? kind of a problem having my base unit stuck behind my TV...
The phone modem must be connected to the cable, if I'm reading this correctly, your only cable connection is behind the TV? If you want to relocate the modem, you must provide a cable run to provide signal. If you have access to a phone jack, you should be able to connect from the modem to the jack, activating all other jacks in the home.
I think he means phone jacks do not provide phone signal
