Several Linksys models have had a problem in the past allowing multiple devices on the inside lan to nat properly with something on the outside wan.

Ordinarily a sip phone on the inside of the lan attempts to register with an external asterisk box, and the Linksys keeps track of source IP, source port, destination IP, and destination port. (That is part of every nat box.) But, on some Linksys models, they do not seem to track the source info, thus two sip phones appear exactly the same from an outside perspective. The issue can be seen in several forms including multiple sip phones, vpn clients, etc. Not sure exactly which models fall into the category, but I know from experience there have been multiple models over the years.

You might also check to be sure your running the latest firmware on the Linksys.

That would be problematic.  I am using a cheap Linksys router where my
Polycom 501 is located and I see no such setting.  It probably is hardcoded.

Can I force the Polycom 501 to send empty RTP packet?

 (actually, I tried using comfort noise but I got an asterisk error message
rtp.c:330 process_rfc3389: Comfort noise support incomplete in Asterisk (RFC
3389). Please turn off on client if possible. Client IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xx
