Switched routers - now no service
Hello,
I'm still fairly new to VOIPO, and wanted to ask a question since I believe tech support is closed on the weekend.
I bought a new D-link router today(to replace a Belkin). VOIPO had forwarded some ports on the Belkin for me, so I forwarded the same ports on the new router. My internet and everything else is working, but not VOIPO.
All of the lights on the PAP2T are on, and I do get a dial tone on my phones, but when I dial a number all I get is silence. Also, when someone calls, it rings, but when I answer it's just silence. The other person just continues to hear ringing even after I have answered the phone.
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere on the new router I need to setup? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Switched routers - now no service
also- dont assign a static address in the dhcp range of your router as a general rule.
You might try turning all port forwarding off to test and see what happens.

I have DCHP turned on and the ip is the same as it was on the old router. I did the ****110# feature on the phone to confirm the ip of the PAP2t.
The following ports are forwarded: 35000 - 65000 UDP
5004 - 5080 UDP and TCP
These were the ones that VOIPO tech support setup when they connected to my computer and PAP2t several weeks ago.

Initially after setup, I did not enable any port forwarding, and it did not work either. I enabled the port forwarding in hopes of getting it to work, to no avail.
I have the D-Link DIR-600 router.
Re: Switched routers - now no service
I assume you have checked the other router settings, for example outbound filters. Also, make sure the ALG for VoIP is turned off, and SPI is turned off.

I turned SPI off, same result. I'm not sure what ALG is? I tried to access the PAP2t, but it wants a username and password.

ALG is Application Layer Gateway. I have a different D-Link router, but the setting on mine (DGL-4100) can be found under Advanced/Firewall. There are different ALGs for various applications, including one for SIP. I can almost guarantee that if the SIP ALG is checked, it will cause your problem.
Re: Switched routers - now no service
The ALG is short for "Application Level Gateway". IIRC, the DLink routers do have one for SIP (which is the one for VoIP that needs to be turned off). Look under your firewall tab. The box on the bottom should NOT be checked. See image below...

Well, the mystery continues. I found the setting and it was checked. I unchecked it and restarted both devices and now there is no dial tone at all. I rechecked the box and restarted, and it's back to the original condition described in the first post. At this point, I am at a loss. Thanks you to everyone for all of the help so far.

Just as proof of concept remove your router and connect your ATA directly to the modem. Confirm that your phone service works perfectly - this will also confirm that introducing the router causes the issues.
