The SB can't hog the ports, it can only use the port it is on. Can it use bandwidth, it does, but not all the bandwidth of a Linksys router. I also have Vonage VOIP. I am having no issues with anything and I have a larger network due to using both LAN (all four ports, Main PC, Vonage Router, Transporter, SC NAS) and WLAN (2 Desktop PCs, Laptop, Duet, 3 SB3, Controller, iPhone). Is it just the one PC on your wired network? I would connect as follows which sounds like the way you are connected but let us make sure. First is the Cable Modem, which is connected to the WAN port (Blue) of the Linksys. First yellow port should be your PC, port two your Vonage router, port three your SB2, and port four whatever. Should the router ports matter, not really, but in practice things have always worked easier this way. Are you using DHCP or do all devices have assigned IP addresses? Are you using a software firewall or active virus scanner? Please describe your PC and OS.
