Thinking about going Vonage/VOIP, but have a question......

Which is the most advantageous setup scenario? I want to get as much info as I can before I leap into this.

Modem ---> Router ---> VOIP Box -or-

Modem ---> VOIP Box ---> Router

Been searching around on the net, but can't seem to get a real straight answer. I don't mind tweaking router settings, but would like to keep it to a minimum as I do have a few devices connected wirelessly. Can anyone help?

Anyway, Modem: Motorola SB5101 & Router: Belkin F5D8233-4

Thanks in advance.

1. Modem, Router, VOIP

Don't think it will work any other way and still give you internet on computer(s)

2. that is the way we have our Lingo setup

and I can't think of Modem-VoIP-Router working either...unless there is some kind of passive connection through the VoIP box which would just be pointless...
