Im looking at hooking up my Magic Jack to my router... so I don't have to keep my computer on all the time to make calls and answer calls... I was wondering if there is a way to do this

Yes and no. Officially, you must have a PC running XP or Vista to run MagicJack. Unofficially, you could get your SIP credentials and run it on your router IF it has the ability to do that. Otherwise you would need an ATA to plug those values into. However, MagicJack may choose to terminate your account since this is against their TOS.
