OBI 110: patch into wall jack and rest of phone jacks in the house work

OBI 2xx: USB WiFi but only support phone directly connected to the device.

Any way to do both?

Thanks

The line port on an OBi110 is used to connect to a PSTN (landline). You can use a splitter plugged into the phone port of an OBi200 and connect it to a phone and the wall jack. You can't use any USB WiFi adapter on a OBi2xx, you must use the OBiWiFi adapter.

Edit:
There isn't a lot of room on the back of an OBi200. It would be better to plug the splitter into the wall jack and then connect the OBi200 and a phone to the splitter.

See:

The OBi200 has 1 phone port
The OBi202 has 2 phone ports

Make sure your house wiring has been disconnected from the telephone company before you connect your OBi. Being connected can damage your OBi.
