Everything seems to be working but I am seeing the following in my logs:

================
Dropped packet from 192.168.1.202:0 to 216.115.25.237:0 (protocol 1) as ALG rejected it
================

192.168.1.202 is my Vonage adaptor and after looking up the other address, it belongs to Vonage.

I have my router set up EXACTLY like the above post. Is this a harmless message?

Thanks.

Upgrade the Dlink 4300 firmware to version 1.3 and get it working with your cable/dsl router. Configure the D-Link 4300 with dhcp.

Reset your Vonage router to factory defaults. There is a button on the back of the unit for this. Configure your Vonage router to automatically assign an IP address as if you were going to connect it directly to your cable/DSL modem. (I forget if you need to do this or if this is automatically done when you do the reset). Plug in one end of a CAT5 cable to the WAN port and NOT the LAN port of the Vonage router. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the 4 D-Link 4300 LAN ports.

Power up the vonage router; it will pick up an IP address from the 4300.

Configure Gamefuel on the 4300 for UDP traffic with source and destination ports of 5060 thru 5061 with a priority of 0.

Finally, in the "Advanced - Special Applications Menu", on the 4300, disable the check box for SIP.

After testing the Vonage Phone for success, check the active sessions in the status menu on the 4300 to verify that the router has given your vonage traffic the priority of 0.

Without doing that, I could make outgoing calls (in that there was a dialtone and I could enter numbers) but they would never complete (in telco parlance they went "high and dry"). Also, incoming calls would ring the phone but they could not be answered (e.g. I called my home number from my cellphone and it rang, but when I picked it up, I kept hearing ringing sounds in the earpiece of the cellphone, the call was never connected even though the home phone had been picked up). Disabling the SIP ALG fixed these issues. The bottom line is (a) the workaround is to use a static IP for the Moto and to disable the SIP ALG and (b) Ubicom/Dlink has a bit more work to do to fix this than just fixing the DHCP issue (at least to my satisfaction ;-).

The only hope is for Ubicom and/or Dlink to get ahold of a Moto VT1005 and test it to find out why, then (assuming it is possible), fix it. Then we wait for a firmware update. I have some hope this may eventually occur as I did have a conversation with a support engineer who was actively trying to get ahold of a VT1005. I was considering lending them mine, but the logistics proved to complicated. The last I heard they were trying to get one off of eBay. That was 10 days ago. I haven't heard a word since. During all this it was claimed that it "should" work OK with the LinkSys PAP2 and so I was briefly toying with trying to get Vonage to RMA my VT1005 for a PAP2, but the combination of Vonage "customer service" never answering my inquiry plus some others here with some less-than-comforting experiences with the PAP2 (both with respect to its interoperability with this router as well as general call-quality issues) led me to abandon that plan and wait for a fix (which may possibly never happen). All in all, a typical Dlink experience (only one Dlink product I ever bought actually worked from day one with no issues, the DI-604 that I am still using). I have a closet full of Dlink equipment abandoned for one reason or another (that Dlink never did fix). You'd think I'd have learned by now not to trust the Dlink marketing hype. Sigh. This time I have learned, for sure, this time I have learned for sure ...

I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. I understood what you wrote, but in your post, you also said that there may also be some other adapters that the DGL-4300 would have problems with but weren't sure. That uncertainty was enough for me not to get the DGL-4300. Of course I could have had the same problem with my new router as well, but I got lucky I guess.

You definitely should keep the router between the modem and the adapter to get your money's worth. I think what I'd do instead of replace the D-Link is replace the adapter instead with a brand/model that D-Link used to test with so you know it should work. Adapters cost less than replacing the DGL-4300. Then I'd sell the adapter on Ebay to someone who can use it to defray your costs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12826506 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:48:36 EDT Re: DGL-4300 & Vonage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12826230 bcronin : The Dlink techs said they were aware that the DGL-4300 did not work with the Moto VT1005, not VOIP in general.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12826230 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:14:13 EDT Re: DGL-4300 & Vonage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12826218 bcronin : I'd complain in an effort to try to get someone at the company who sells/supports the product to fix it, of course. I like the router, I'd like to be able to use it, but I can't because the Moto VT1005 does not work with it. I can't put the Moto in front of the router because that causes the VPN client I need to use to do my job to not work. Besides, what would be the point of getting the DGL-4300 in the first place if I was going to stick it behind the TA? I got the DGL-4300 to take advantage of its unique capabilities to improve throughput of VOIP and gaming traffic. That would not work if the TA was in front of it. In every post I have made on the subject I have specifically said that it does not work with the Moto VT1005. Other TA's may work, but the Moto box does not. Someone suggested to me offline that I should try to get Vonage to RMA the Moto and replace it with a LinkSys PAP2 (which they claim is known to work OK with the DGL-4300). I may just do that. In any event, the secondary purpose of my posts is to warn anyone else who may have the Moto box that they may have problems if they get this router. If I were looking to get this router and had the Moto box, I'd be happy that someone took the time to provide this information. It'd save me a lot of aggravation.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12826218 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:12:12 EDT Re: DGL-4300 & Vonage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12824536 kpiskin : I agree that if you spent the money that you should try to make the router work especially if D-Link says it is supposed to.

said by kpiskin See Profile:

Can't you simply put the phone adapter out on the DMZ so it effectively bypasses the DGL-4300?

I read somewhere (maybe here or a review) that the DGL-4300 didn't play well with VOIP (despite what the dlink website says). I was really hoping to continue using my DWL-G650s, so I wanted to get this router to replace my ever-rebooting DI-624. I looked at a number of routers like the Linksys SRX, WRT-54GS, DGL-4300 and the Belkin Pre-N. The Belkin specifically supports VOIP and even has a VOIP QoS selection in its configuration, so I went with that and it has worked great since day one. Plus no reboots since 7FEB05 when I got it.
ONE person said it didn't work for him, that was it. And VOIP does work well from what I have read. Read the one review on Amazon from a guy using VOIP. Or even in this own thread.

And unlike the Belkin, the Dlink's own chipset is designed specifically for it. I didn't get the Belkin for the very reason of its lack of firmware features and updates.

Personally firmware features are most important to me in a router, along with reliability. And DGL-4300 works great for most everyone I have read.

And personally I don't know why a person would keep a router in a pile if it isn't doing what you want? Just they have a reason to complain about it later? Instead of just getting your money back. It makes no sense. I would never buy a $170 router and leave it in a pile, which makes me suspicious of the claim.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12822146 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 15:44:27 EDT Re: DGL-4300 & Vonage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12821741 kpiskin : Can't you simply put the phone adapter out on the DMZ so it effectively bypasses the DGL-4300?
