Integrated gateway

An apparatus, comprising:

• a plurality of handsets;
• and
• a gateway, including:
• a wide area network interface in communication with a packet network;
• a local area network interface for coupling to a first computer via a first wired connection and to a second computer via a first wireless connection using a first antenna;
• a router module for routing data traffic between the wide area network interface and the local area network interface;
• a modem that is integrated within the gateway and coupled to the wide area network interface;
• a voice-over-internet protocol adapter having an interface for only supporting a voice-over-internet protocol service between a first handset and the packet network, wherein the interface for the voice-over-internet protocol service comprises a second wired connection and a second wireless connection using a second antenna;
• and
• a session-initiation protocol adapter having an interface for only supporting a session-initiation protocol service between a second handset and the packet network, wherein the interface for the session-initiation protocol service comprises a third wired connection and a third wireless connection using a third antenna, wherein a separate cordless handset base station and a separate wireless router are not needed for the voice-over-internet protocol service over the second wireless connection and the session-initiation protocol service over the third wireless connection, wherein the first handset and the second handset each comprises a voice-over-internet protocol module and a session-initiation protocol module stored in a memory, wherein the gateway comprises a single integrated device with the wide area network interface, the local area network interface, the router, the modem, the voice-over-internet protocol adapter and the session-initiation protocol adapter.

A gateway, comprising:

• a first interface to provide communications between a wide area network and a packet network;
• a second interface having a first wired connection for a first computer and a first wireless connection using a first antenna to a second computer to provide communications with a local area network;
• a modem that is integrated within the gateway and coupled to the first interface to provide communications between the wide area network and the packet network;
• a third interface to only support a voice-over-internet protocol service between a first handset and the packet network, wherein the third interface comprise a second wired connection and a second wireless connection using a second antenna;
• a fourth interface to only support a session-initiation protocol service between a second handset and the packet network, wherein the fourth interface comprises a third wired connection and a third wireless connection using a third antenna, wherein a separate cordless handset base station and a separate wireless router are not needed for the voice-over-internet protocol service over the second wireless connection and the session-initiation protocol service over the third wireless connection, wherein the first handset and the second handset each comprises a voice-over-internet protocol module and a session-initiation protocol module stored in a memory, wherein the gateway comprises a single integrated device with the first interface, the second interface, the modem, the third interface and the fourth interface;
• and
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor perform operations, the operations comprising:
• routing data traffic between the first interface and the second interface.
