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?

Yes, As soon as I power-cycle the RT31P2 and it "boots", I have dialtone and I can make/receive calls.

dteague,

If you're willing to experiment, would you be willing to hook things up the way I described in the thread http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1919 ?

I'd like for someone else to try it out to see if my case was just pure luck, or is there something "special" about bypassing the direct LAN to WAN connection from the WRT to RT.

I will try it and see if it makes any difference. I used to do networking for a living, and just having a hard time wrapping my head around how this will solve anything as it seems to be adding a hop to all transmissions (abit it an out of the WAN to the LAN port on the RT31P2 and then to the WRT54G2... But stranger things have happened... If it does work, then I start thinking more twords it being a firmware issue on RT31P2.
