When my Linksys router/modem failed, I bought an Asus DSL-G31 router/modem. It's quite a nice unit and has wireless. In my naivety I thought a router/modem was a router/modem! Not so, it seems - I have a problem. I also have Linksys PAP2T telephone adapter connecting to a VOIP connection at Xnet. However, the Asus router seems to blocking the VOIP connection. Checking back on the Xnet website, I see that the only router/modems listed as being compatible with Xnet's service are Linksys models. The Asus has SIP enabled, but I presume that the PAP2T is not using SIP. Xnet tech suggested unlocking the PAP2T, going back to factory default settings, and re-provisioning the PAP2T. It seems that the re-provisioning has taken place as Line 1 has the correct telephone number. Does anyone have any suggestions? The simplest way out may to just to buy a Linksys router/modem. I notice that Xnet seems to have support for Asterisk (but there are no instructions for it). I've got a spare computer, so downloaded and installed AsteriskNOW. That was the easy part. I am completely bewildered about getting it configured! Michael

Hi Michael, I am not an expert on this but offer the following comment. I used a Linksys ATA (SPA3102) and a Dynalink ADSL router/modem. Therefore I don't think Linksys components are required on both. I have configured the ATA to always get the same IP address from the router and have port forward 5601(?) to the ATA. Strictly speaking this isn't apparently neccessary as the ATA continues to communicate to the, in this case 2talk, stun server. Is uPNP enabled on the new router? Perhaps uPNP was enabled on the old router that allow the ATA to modify the router config to set up the VOIP bridge across the router- my terminology may be a little loose here. Just some thoughts.
