If the laptop is connected over WiFi, is there a way to share that connection with the phone by plugging and Ethernet cable from the internet port of the phone into the Ethernet port on the laptop?
Hey Mitchh, unfortunately there is not a way to do this with the way you are describing. What type of phone do you have? If you have a Yealink T54 then you can just connect to the wifi directly from the phone. If you have a different model you may be able to use a dongle in the back of the phone to enable wifi and then connect that way - just let me know what type of phone you have and I will tell you which options are available to you.
@@comtechnetworksolutions3251 Thanks for the quick reply! It's the Yealink T33G, so it doesn't seem like WiFi is an option. I was thinking of going into the Windows settings and changing the adapter settings to allow the WiFi connection to be shared over Ethernet and then connecting to the phone that way
@@amla98 No problem at all and yeah unfortunately my recommendation would be to see if you can swap that device out for a Yealink T54w or something similar. They have built in wifi and they work very well. Wish I had a better option for you:)
Good morning, you do not. The phone will operate independently of the phone so you can absolutely keep your pc off and the phone will still continue to make calls like normal.
Great video. Yealink phones have an EXT port. Can this be used to extend to a traditional phone (or home POTS wiring to extend to more than one traditional phone) and calls will work both ways from these traditional phones? OR... if I connect an ATA to the ethernet port on the Yealink, will analog phones be on the same line (if the Yealink and ATA are configured with the same services) like an old extension home extension phone? Basically, I'm looking to extend the IP phone to other rooms in the house via the old POTS wiring. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the comment on the video, I am glad you enjoyed it. The extension port is used for an expansion module (side car that has more buttons). I don't believe it can be used in the manner you are referring to. What you could do (depending on how much control you have on the back end phone system that the Yealink is using) is provision an ATA with the correct sip credentials and then plug a POTS line in on the other side. I don't have any videos on this on this channel but if you go down that route I would recommend something like a Polycom OBi300. Those seem to work quite well to convert digital to analog. Hope this helps!
@@comtechnetworksolutions3251 Yes it does help. Thanks. I think you're saying to connect the ATA into the IP Phone's PC ethernet port? Or connect an ATA and IP phone EACH to separate router ports? And I should be able to leave the IP phone off the hook while on the call and pickup in another room just by picking up that handset and visa versa? (Just like a regular home phone) Thanks again. EDIT: I already use the OBI202 with 2 voip services. My main objective was to get rid of cordless phones and run analog phones from the ATA thru my POTS wiring without even using a IP phone. But I can't find analog corded phones that provide custom ringtones per contact which is what I need. Hence looking into a Voip Phone that has custom ringtones per contact.
@@rgraz4929 Gotcha. I was saying plug the obi directly into another router port (just any ethernet as long as it is getting internet) and then provision the extension you were going to configure for the Yealink phone into the obi. That doesn't resolve your issue of different ring tones though. Another option is to get a Yealink W70 handset and base because that is cordless and supports those contacts. Issue there is that device connects to the base station using DECT and won't work with your existing pots lines. Another option would be to use something like a Grandstream WP820 which is also cordless and connects to your wifi if you have good wifi. Hope that helps but I am not sure of a way to go through the Yealink physical handset and for it to pass those custom ring tones through.
@@comtechnetworksolutions3251Thanks! I understand now. Thanks for offering other solutions. My plan is to only use corded phones but I've grown accustomed to knowing who's calling without looking which seems to be only available in cordless traditional phones.
I bought a Yealink Ip telephone SIP-T21P E2.I have the power cord plugged in by the wall that also connects into the DC5V at the back of the phone.then I plugged in my Ethernet cable,one side at the back of the phone in the internet socket and the other side of the cable into my laptop..my phone still says no network and no service.am I doing something wrong?
Good morning, did you plug the ethernet cable from the wall into the internet port on the phone? Then you should have a cable running from the computer port on the phone into the laptop. Can you confirm it is plugged in that way?
Hi there, good morning. The second way should not affect your speed on your computer as the phone itself has a gigabit switch inside. The internet speed to your computer should seamlessly pass through the phone to your computer without affecting speeds.
Hey Arnell, if it is on speaker phone and you are adjusting their volume they normally do a pretty good job. If that is the case and you are getting that echo still I would recommend moving the phone physcially to a different location (is the speaker sitting close to a wall that is causing the audio to go back into the phone). Please let me know if that helps, if not I will try and point you in the right direction.
What if my desktop has only one port, that I use to supply desktop with internet. How can I connect phone to desktop if there is only 1 phone port on desktop? Thx
Good afternoon, if you only have 1 port coming from the wall then you want to use the method found at 2:40 in the video. The cable from the wall will go into the Internet port on the phone. Then a cable will go from the pc port on the phone into the desktop computer.
Hey Lemaire, my recommendation would be to test connecting to a different wireless (your hotspot on your phone, take the phone home and connect to your home wireless, etc.) and see if it does it there. If the phone continues to lose service then most likely you will need your service provider to look at your phone itself and it may have a faulty network adapter. If the phones stays connected at home then that narrows down the problem to your work network (or where ever you were originally connecting) and you can contact who manages that network. Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction!
Hey Harry, sorry for covering the basics but we cover the basics to the more advanced. Please check out some of the other videos we have that are talking about the functionality of the Yealink phones.

Do you need to have your laptop/pc permanently switched on to be able to make and receive calls please ?? Thanks
Good morning, you do not. The phone will operate independently of the phone so you can absolutely keep your pc off and the phone will still continue to make calls like normal.

Are you kidding me?! People know how to plug it in! People are looking on how to program the phone! What a waste. Thumbs down on the video.
