    It looks like I am the only one has the problem.
    My router and PAP2 are in front of me as well. Since being out of work for the last year I see it about 8hrs a day , but there are still 16hrs left I can't report on. I have had numerous OTHER issues but not the PAP dying where it needs a reboot. Maybe that's because I give it a "PAP TEST" every few days. <drum roll>

    Adapter: Linksys RT31P2
    ISP: Comcast (Speed, who knows with Comcast. I just did a speedtest, and it showed 20 Down 3 Up, Those numbers seem high)
    Setup: Have tried it both ways, currently behind a Linksys switch running dd-wrt because when the VoIPo TA goes south, it takes my internet for my computers with it. Since my wife works from home alot, can't have the internet down.
    How often not working: Every few days I will try calling home and it will go straight to voicemail, or I'll get an email that I just got a voicemail, and the phone doesn't ring, or I'll go to make a call, and no dialtome. I just go and unplug and plug back in, and it works. I have ports forwarded, the TA in the DMZ. Still happens every few days.

    voip123, is your adapter set up for static or dynamic lease with your router?

    Yes. I assigned a static IP with all port forwarding that is suggested by VOIPo.

    Router: WRT54GL (DD-WRT v24 preSP2 build 13064)
    ATA: RT31P2
    ISP: Comcast (12/2)

    Cable Modem -> WRT54GL -> RT31P2

    Ever since setting things up this way:
    http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1919

    I haven't noticed the phone being down (Phone 1 always lit). My wife uses the phone probably 200-300 mins per day and hasn't complained once since this setup. In previous configs, the ATA would lose reauth randomly. And trust me, she lets me know every single time something bad happens.

    I'm going to try to put Tomato back on the WRT54GL in the above configuration to see if it still works, as I prefer it over DD-WRT.

    Well, I just got a call from my wife. She could not get thru on the VoIP. I went downstairs, checked and line 1 & 2 have no lights. Unplugged the TA, waited 5 seconds, and plugged it back in, and it was working again.

    Just frustrating. Never had any issues with Call Vantage (Or Sunrocket before them)

    I started frustrating since day 5 after I signed up for the service. At least once per day the adapter doesn't work for around 15 minutes. Sometimes 2 or 3 times per day. It will back on.

    I checked everyone's feed back. None of you is using the WRT54GS. Sounds like the router doesn't like its Linksys cousin - RT31P2.

    At the moment, I am writing this post. The Line1 light is out.

    What firmware are you running on the WRT54GS?

    I know it might be a pain, but did you try hooking things as described in my post? I'd be curious if that resolved your issue.

    I have a WRT54G2 running dd-wrt, and I have had this issue when the TA was on either side of it. For no reason, the lights will go out for Lines 1 & 2, and I have no dialtone. If the TA is plugged into the cable modem, and the WRT54G2 on the other side, if I have no lights on line 1 & 2, I have no internet access on any of my computers. When I put the TA off the WRT54G2, when it dies, it only takes down the phones as nothing is down line of it.

    VoIPo has replaced the TA, and it has made no difference. I did notice their was a later firmware for the TA, and asked VoIPo about it, but they did not thing that would resolve the issue. It seems to be something in the TA that is having the problems.

    Right now, I have the TA off the WRT54G2, in the DMZ, ports forwarded, on a static IP address (NAT). Like I have said, it will work fine, then all of a sudden, no Line 1/Line 2 lights and no dialtone.

    My wife could care less who we use, as long as "There is dialtone when she picks it up, and people can call us." VoIPo is not making my choice to move to them easy on either one of those points.

    So how does your service get restored when this happens. Do you power-cycle the ATA?
