Where should I place my Ooma Telo in my home?

Ooma Telo should be placed near your internet modem or router so it can connect directly to it via an Ethernet cable. For the best performance, it should be positioned in a well-ventilated area. Your home phone plugs directly into the Telo, allowing you to use existing cordless or corded phones throughout your home. If you want to get a new handset, Ooma has a variety of classic handsets and retro-inspired phones.
