Time Warner cable bundle compatible? I have cable tv, phone and Internet bundled through Time Warner. The 'Product Features' says this is not compatible with TW bundled voice. Does that simply mean I can keep the Internet and tv service but drop their phone line to use this? I am also thinking of using MagicJack with it and stop renting the TW modem/router and stop paying them for what is essentially VOIP phone service. Am I on the right track? Thanks.

I'm not sure about the TV service, but I have internet and phone from TWC. When they installed it, they put in a separate modem to handle the phone, and used a splitter for the cable between the phone modem and my Netgear unit. Both phone and router seem to work fine. There was no charge for the phone modem, so I'm saving $10 a month. Now this is for a normal land-line phone, it might be VOIP but I'm not sure. I hope this info helps you.

Yes, you should be fine. I kept the TWC phone service. They tell you to keep the modem for the phone for free. You'll also have to get their free adaptor kit.

Time Warner will let you keep your old modem for your phone service. They will stop charging you the monthly fee and will disable the data service to the old modem. This modem works fine with TWC.

This is on the TWC list for compatible modems. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work with the phone service. I bought it to avoid the rental fees & I too got the magic jack. It works great ! Just remember if you get the magic jack and want to keep your same phone #, don't cancel your phone service until your number is transferred over & you get a confirmation(I think they say it takes about 10 days).

Try Ooma for VOIP. Just plug it into the back of the AC1900, connect phone line. I've used it for years. No fees, just taxes of about $5/month.
