The RC926 is very easy to install. Just insert the transmission unit into the AC wall outlet and connect the RJ-11 cable to the existing phone jack. Next, plug the included extension unit into the wall outlet. You can plug it into any outlet within your home. A green indicator light on the side of each unit indicates that it is functioning normally. A reset button lets you change the location of the phone jack or switch phones.

The RC926 features built-in surge suppression and is ideal for placing a phone anywhere that an extension phone jack is not readily available. The RC926 is compatible with corded and cordless phones, answering machines, fax machines, and computer modems. It also supports call forwarding, call waiting, three-way calling, conference calling, and speed dialing.Once installed, the wireless phone jack system is fully expandable--you can add an unlimited number of extension units and phones throughout your home. --Megan Dugan

Edit: I also have DSL but use 2Wire filters (not the generic filters provided by Verizon) for greater clarity. A filter has to be placed between the jack and the wireless BASE unit for the wireless extension unit to function properly with DSL.

Note: Tivos and DirecTivos DO HAVE MODEMS so Rios' title header is somewhat misleading. But the facts in the body of the review are correct. Per Page 10 of RCA's manual (which is available on their website): "Note: The maximum baud rate for the Wireless Phone Jack is 14,400. Best results, however, will be experienced at 9,600." This limitation is why I knocked off a star.

So yes, I would not recommend that you attempt to surf the Internet using this jack or use it for any purpose where a high baud rate is important. But the phone jack is perfectly fine for voice, fax, and satellite receiver use.

I bought the product recently for my entertainment room which has no phone connections. It works just fine for my purposes - additional phone line and hooking up my satellite dish to the phone line. Its awesome for old houses that have a limited # of phone lines.

Really, like this product is the answer to having an additional phone line that you can take with you. Great for vacation homes and the answer to not adding an additional connection in an apartment.


Doesn't work with DSL   April 3, 2004

I purchased this product to connect my TIVO without having to install a second phone line. The installation was pretty simple, but when I plugged in a simple telephone set to test the line at the site where my TIVO was, the line noise was significant. When I plugged in the phone cord to my TIVO and tried to connect, the connection failed. I then contacted customer service to figure out what was wrong, and after troubleshooting the service attendent asked me if I had DSL on the line. I told her yes, and she informed me that the excessive noise on the line was due to the DSL. The wireless jack will not work with a DSL line! I was stunned! Why is there is no mention of this on the packaging or documentation?!?!? It looks like time to make a service call to the dreaded phone company to install a phone jack. Bad product, and bad documentation.
