Gidday, I've got a router with a landline that isnt as good as my previous one from my first isp,

I want to use my old fritzbox 7490 which has a better wireless range and also a landline in port.
So the question is i want the settings in my new modem Gigabot ac1600 for the landline at least to be the same as the old modem. Ive checked with slingshot and they don't support my previous router for land line purposes.

You generally have to use their supplied equipment to deliver the phone service.

If its just a wireless issue then turn the wireless off in their supplied router and add your own wifi gear. If you still have the fritzbox you can use it as an accesspoint.

So you want to use the Fritzbox 7490 with Slingshot?
