It wouldn't work if it was attached to the wireless router. It needed this ordering because the Cable modem gives it a distinct IP address, which the VOIP needs to connect properly to the outside world, but when connected after the router, it will have a local address (probably on the order of 192.168.1.XXX), which will screw with the VOIP packets coming from the internet. With the VOIP adapter between the modem and router, it will better manage the packets to allow the VOIP packets through with priority over the router computer packets, giving the VOIP better quality when it needs it. Of course, the last time I used VOIP was from AT&T from more than a year ago, but I believe it is an across the board setting. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I had phone line from VOIP adaptor connected directly to phone's base station and it eliminated a lot of the noise...

This will allow the VoIP device the priority on your network. Connecting your VoIP device directly to the Cable, DSL, or Satellite “modem” is actually the best choice.
