I am very new to IP phones, etc so I don't know much, however, I've been told that QOS is very important to IP phones for them to work, and you need to enable QOS for them to work. If your router does not do QOS, you might need to scrap it and buy a new one that does work. -----Original Message----- From: Sharie Breaux [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 1:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: IP Phone with Linksys Router & Embarq DSL modem set to bridge
We have an IP phone that used to work with our original setup in Florida. At the same time we had to replace the DSL modem and the router. Now we can't get the IP phone to work. I am in our Ohio office and can get to the settings of the router. The router is a Linksys WRT54G2 and it is in bridge mode. I had the girl in the office take the IP phone home and it worked. She is able to get out to the internet through the router with her laptop, but when we plug the IP phone into the router, it doesn't work. We have added the IP address of the phone to the DMZ zone of the router and it still doesn't work. What other settings in the router do I need to check that would affect the IP phone? Thanks!
