npub1ht0rq2ej339cv0nz4m260llgdq8mz05fwpz4zjc8s7lmtduzq8hq60dyc3 (npub1ht0…dyc3) With some limitations, you can sometimes plug multiple phones into the built-in ATA of a router via a double-adaptor.
That said, it may be time for some sort of standard for IP phones and home Internet routers to configure themselves.
At the moment, IP phones and ATAs assume you know about SIP/RTSP, dial plans and other guff … and if you've got multiple phones, you need some sort of PABX to link everything up.
Not user friendly at ALL, even for a technical person! Really needs to be a case of "plug phone into Ethernet port" and the router's PABX links it into the dial-plan automatically with sane defaults, then provides a UI for configuring more advanced things.
