Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RCA RC920 Wireless Phone Jack Extension

Customer Review: Good if you are only using for phones, not modems
Summary: 3 Stars

It works pretty well with the 3 phones in our house. One older phone which also happens to be the furthest away from the "base unit" near the main phone jack sometimes comes out staticky and occasionally disconnects calls, but not enough for me to complain, even though it shouldn't do this at all. The other phones work fine.

But using the modem is the problem. I normally get about 50K or so with a standard 56K modem, as they warn on the package, plugged directly into this I only get 14.4K or so, not really enough to surf the web. I did a trick where I put a 2-way Y-jack into the lone phone jack in my condo, in one jack goes the wireless jack system, in the other goes a phone wire that goes right to my modem (so already I'm giving in and carefully stringing a wire on the floor, the reason I bought this is NOT to do that). But instead of completely distinguishing the 2, this still causes minor interference. I still get a slight drop in speed (usually 33-40K), but sometimes it will disconnect me from the Web or not connect me at all (I get the infamous "Error 650" that you usually get when the modem itself is starting to die). The only fix I've had is to temporarily unplug the Wireless Phone Jack from the Y-jack in my wall when I want to surf the Web (which I then get at normal dialup speed). The only problem with this is that the way I have things setup, if I forget to plug everything back in when I'm done surfing the Web, incoming calls when I'm out will not go to the answering machine.

So I think it is a great product if you are only using it to add phone jacks without the drilling and expense for the use of additional phones, but not for use with a modem.

Description of RCA RC920 Wireless Phone Jack Extension

If you have already installed a compatible wireless phone jack system in your home or office, simply plug in the RC920 extension into your wall outlet to automatically create another phone jack. A green LED on the side of the unit indicates that it is functioning normally. A reset button lets you change the location of the phone jack or switch phones.

The RC920 features built-in surge suppression and is ideal for placing a phone anywhere an extension phone jack is not readily available. The RC920 is compatible with corded and cordless phones, answering machines, fax machines, and computer modems. It also support call forwarding, call waiting, three-way calling, conference calling, and speed dialing.

The RC920 is very easy to install. Just plug the unit into your AC wall outlet, attach your phone cord, and begin use. Once a compatible system is installed, you can add as many RC920 units and phones as you need.
