Is there anywhere where I can buy the Linksys PAP2v2 or other non-routing Vonage device?

I went to the following yesterday:

Staples - doesn't carry any Vonage
Target - doesn't carry any Vonage
Radio Shack - doesn't carry any Vonage
Staples - only had the $99 adapter/router

I have yet to try Wal-Mart and Best Buy, but I'm not sure I want to waste the $4.59 gas to be disappointed :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20720499 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:18:01 EDT Re: vt1005v refuses to work behind router - need new adapter? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20717606 garys_2k : Yes, it does sound like a problem with your adapter.

IIRC, some VT1005s had bad power supplies. Maybe yours does -- Vonage was replacing those if people complained, I think. Maybe they will spring for a new adapter -- can't hurt to ask.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20717606 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:26:56 EDT Re: vt1005v refuses to work behind router - need new adapter? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20716856 johnnybt8 : already had one reboot...going to look for other adapters later today.

can anyone think of anything else that may be causing this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20716856 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:18:51 EDT Re: vt1005v refuses to work behind router - need new adapter? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20716637 johnnybt8 : Ok well now I have forwarded all the ports, all under the UDP Protocol.

Ports used by Vonage Adapters


The following ports are needed for OUTGOING Internet communications from the Vonage device to the Vonage servers.

DNS: Port 53 UDP
TFTP: Port 21, 69, 2400 UDP
HTTP: Port 80 UDP
NTP: Port 123 UDP
SIP: Port 5061 UDP (used for older Vonage devices provisioned before 2005)


The following ports are needed for INCOMING and OUTGOING Internet communications from and to Vonage devices and servers.

RTP (Voice) Traffic: Ports 10000-20000 UDP. When a call is made, a random port between 10000 and 20000 is used for RTP (Voice) traffic. If any of these ports are blocked, you may experience one way or no audio.

I have now gone back and tried to forward those ports. For some reason I remember that last time I tried this it was another failed attempt.

We will see! 10 minutes and counting with a dialtone!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20715229 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:02:59 EDT Re: vt1005v refuses to work behind router - need new adapter? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20714910 garys_2k : Strange, my VT1005 lives happily behind my router (a different model than your, tho).

Did you try forwarding the ports that Vonage mentions? You shouldn't have to, but in some cases it might make all the difference. I think SIP registration is on port 5060, but try forwarding 5060 through 5065 to be sure. That SHOULD resolve the problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20714910 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 01:20:53 EDT vt1005v refuses to work behind router - need new adapter? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20714173 johnnybt8 : 5 year customer, still on my first vt1005v box.

For the last 6 or so months I have had constant connection problems. Cox came out and fixed their line, which was causing some issues, but I still can't get a constant connection.

What I would like:

Cox Motorola SB5101 -- Linksys WRT54GS -- Motorola vt1005v

However, everytime I hook it up that way my Vonage line pops offline after 5-30 minutes. I have tried no QoS setting, full QoS configuration, and everything in between.

So right now I have the vt1005v before my router and it's working ok, but it is severely limiting my d/l speeds (from 16-20kbps to 7kbps) and causes problems when I try to forward ports for utorrent, etc.

So I am pretty much down to trying another adapter and if that doesn't work just giving up. I would like an adapter with no routing capabilities at all, as I don't want to complicate matters.

Between the Cicso and the Linkysys PAP2v2, which one should I get? Or, is there something else I should try with my setup? I have really tried it all, but am willing to try some new suggestions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20714173 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:12:22 EDT
