Hello,

I've moved from a FritzBox to a Unifi USG and was wondering if it's possible to set up the 2D HOme Phone Plus service via another means? I've looked on their website and I couldn't find any manual setup.

Thanks!

2D replies previously have been..no

As in They won't give out the SIP details and only support it off managed /provisioned devices

Fair enough for them, but bugger! Ah well. I may cancel as it's just for a parent .

You could always reconfigure the Fritz with DHCP WAN and no DHCP server, to have it act as just the SIP device behind the USG.

My views are as unique as a unicorn riding a unicycle. They do not reflect the opinions of my employer, my cat, or the sentient coffee machine in the break room.

The workaround appears to be put it 1st and use the ata, then dmz the downstream to everything else/other router.

The best solution would be to port the number to a VOIP provider such as Hero and you can then use any ATA to access the phone line. And you'll save $12 per month

I did think of leaving the Fritz to be the ATA, but that's another device to power, probably uses SFA really per month. I'll check out some VOIP providers too.

Cheers everyone! 10/10 help :)
