Sorry, I mean RJ11 for the telephone (the type of cable connector at the telephone end that typically goes from the “BT Jack” at the BT wall socket). If you're coming from a PSTN to using a VoIP on the router, you just replace the BT Jack cable with a RJ11-RJ11 cable (which was supplied with the router). Just check to see if the phone has an RJ11 socket.
I erroneously said an RJ47 connector (which would be Ethernet).
