This router is not recommended for use with Hosted Voice services using the stock firmware from Linksys. This model router is known to damage and modify SIP packets in such a way that it prevents VoIP packets from being formatted correctly and can cause a multitude of problems.

You may be able to install custom firmware such as DD-WRT () as a replacement. Note that the procedure does require some technical knowledge and ability. The DD-WRT firmware allows you to disable SIP ALG and enable QOS (Quality of Service), but this has not yet been tested in our labs.

 

**All routers and firewalls must forward the correct ports and configure Whitelisting for Hosted Voice Services; please click here for more information.
