Broadband Router for Mitel handset

[boycey9]

Anyone using a Broadband Router/Modem that supports BT ADSL (FTTC) without separate modem and also has a POE port that will power a Mitel phone, looking for recommendations thanks.

We sometimes use LTE modems that connect to the Cell network.

I'm in Canada though, not GB

Nah just get a 5 port PoE switch and use that. I have never seen a BB router with PoE ports. Draytek are supposed to have one but I understand its about £700....gulp.

I agree with the PoE switch (or injector) suggestion, if this is for a business you could try looking at a Fortigate/FortiWiFi 60E-DSL.

Here are the DSL standards that the 60E-DSL supports:
[ul]
[li]ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ETSI ADSL over ISDN (TS 101 388)[/li]
[li]ITU-T G.dmt (G.992.1) (ADSL) – Annex A[/li]
[li]ITU-T G.dmt.bis (G.992.3) (ADSL2) – Annex A, Annex L, Annex M[/li]
[li]ITU-T G.dmt.plus (G.992.5) (ADSL2+) – Annex A, Annex M[/li]
[li]ITU-T VDSL2 (G.993.2) – All profiles 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, 17a_EU32 – Annex A, C (all regions)[/li]
[li]ITU-T VDSL1 (G.993.1), ITU-T G.993.5, ITU-T G.998.4[/li]
[/ul]

That isn't PoE on the network ports though.....according to the specs on the link.

Yes that's correct, the Fortigate 60E-DSL doesn't come with PoE, you would need to get a PoE injector or switch.

The Cisco 880G has DSL + POE.

What does this router need to support, how many devices?

4 ports would probably be enough but 5 would be a better option, I have a Cisco 880 in my drawer which says it has 2 ports of POE but I was under the impression there was no firewall support on these and the point of this was to cut down on devices so I could end up in much the same situation.
Any one used a Ubiquiti ERPoe-5 as on a quick search it seems to have all the requirements but will have a further read up later.

Ubiquiti ERPoe-5 doesn't seem to support any broadband except maybe VDSL....so you should be OK. problems with throughput reported when bridging the ports to make it sork for FTTC though.
