A:AnswerIf your using a VOIP phone system like Ooma with an RJ45 jack (8 positions), then the answer is YES
If you mean 'can I plug in a telephone' with an RJ11 jack (4 positions), then NO as others have also said
A:AnswerUPnP should be available on the router you are using ... This modem does not have Router capabilities and connects directly to the internet from your provider !!!
A:Answertypically the VPN will be loaded on the router...or local pc/mac/device. This modem converts the internet co signal to be used by your router, most routers will let you do the VPN on the device instead of the pc/mac. I use PIA VPN on my mac, and have loaded the PIA info into my nighthawk router, both work great. Didn't see any settings to load the vpn on this modem when i set it up...just get a decent router or run the client locally.
A:AnswerIf it’s dsl service with frontier it will not work this a cable modem feed via coaxial connections you would need to get dsl router to use with there service
A:AnswerDOCSIS standards dictate that the service provider must distribute firmware updates to cable modem devices. The end-user cannot simply install an update like most other network-enabled devices.
ARRIS develops the software update and makes it available to service providers. The service providers qualify, test, and distribute the software update to devices on their network. ARRIS has limited control or visibility on distribution by the service providers.
