It may be inconvenient to have the Ooma adjacent to either the router or the cable modem (given where the cable comes into the house) and would be much nicer to have it in a more accessible place.
Guessing this is a technological question if it would work...

Not certain w/o looking @ the unit... But if it remembers the settings like a router can to initiate DSL... Perhaps-

Of course if they had a wireless unit... That would solve the issue ()

But how would wifi impact latency? (That's my biggest question)
