    The HT502 can do NAT routing, but it lacks several common capabilities in home routers so I don't use it on the WAN side.

    The need for port forwarding varies with home router model (including the version of firmware running).

    yes, but I'm a geek and wonder why some work without explicit port-forwarding and others do not.

    Understandable, but I don't have a more satisfying answer. I'm sure it depends on how the firmware in the various routers filters incoming packets, but detail beyond that level is more than I'd know...

    My service was working fine for about a year with no forwarding.
    Last week all calls suddenly went to voicemail.
    Support suggested the usual ports to fix the issue.
    I suspect changes with all the network upgrades etc. was the culprit.
