Can the voip modem be plugged into the router instead of the other way around?

Question by waha: Can the voip modem be plugged into the router instead of the other way around?
I’m trying to port forward to minecraft and I have linksys2102 voip modemplugged into the satellite and a dlink router plugged into that. I have the dlink configured to port forward but can’t figure out how to unlock the modem.
I was wondering if I could plug the dlink router into the wall and then connect the modem to it and still have the phone work.

Your setup should be

satellite – dlink router – linksys 2102
|— other computers

You need to set up the dlink for QoS.
