Disable SIP ALG or Bridge to Supported Router
Comments
To use this router, you must log in to the web interface and disable the 'SIP ALG' setting. If this option is unavailable, you can try setting it to bridged and then connecting it to a compatible router so that the 2wire router acts as a simple modem rather than a router. If bridging is not possible either, you must replace this device, as it will prevent you from using Hosted Voice services.
