Initial setup question

[burris]

Yes Thorsdad, that is exactly how mine is set up & working fine:

Internet=>Modem=>Router=>HT-502

My only concern was that a voipo tech cautioned against such a configuration because it is not the prescribed "right" way per their instructions. I am happy now, but being a network challenged person, just because something is working OK now for 1 day doesn't mean. . .! Since my initial post, I was able to talk live to another tech & he pretty much agreed that until I encounter any dropped calls or hangups, just be happy. So I'll be happy . Thanks.

I think what they're talking about is that if your audio has a problem with either end, you should have them port forward a group of ports to your ATA.

The way you have it is the only way I would ever set mine up as putting it before your router might make you transparent to hacking.

Leave it as you have it and if you experience an audio problem, have them do what I suggest...
