I recently ran out and got a Slingbox - - I run a Lingo / Router / PC setup - - - and have not been able to port forward jack squat. After about 7 days looking all over the internet, and calling Slingbox (which takes 45mins to connect, then when they reset your modem it disonnects THEIR call) I'm close to returning the Slingbox.. YOUR POSTINGS ACTUALLY MAKE SENCE AND HOPEFULLY WILL WORK!! THANKS!!! I'm gonna try putting the lingo behind the router and seeing if my slingbox will connect.... You guys are great!

I spend 5 weeks in try and error until I got everything working perfectly well. There tech support doesn’t know anything about that product. Here is how, keep in mind my router is Netgear WGT624 1- Don’t install it in the front of your router. The device restarts every time it gets updates and of course disconnects your internet. So if you are in middle of a big download you will lose it. YOU MUST HAVE IT AS INETRNET/MODEM THEN YOUR ROUTER THEN THE LINGO DEVICE. 2- Don’t change any of its factory settings. It does not work if you do so. I tried changing some settings. It failed to respond after that. Even if I just change the device name from 0 to lingomodem it failed to work after that. 3- Here is how you reset the device. Make sure it’s powered. Make sure a phone is connected to line 1. Use that phone even with out a dial tone to dial the following number #26845#. That number again is “pawned two 6 8 4 5 pawned” Good luck I had the same problem with the same device.

Scott: Your ATA's ("lingo box") port speed is set incorrectly, thus the 'trickle of internet' when it's connected directly to the cable. With your computer connected to the ENET port, open IE, go to 172.25.25.1, user/ph3taswe, "WAN", Port speed, set to Auto. Save configuration, save, reboot. Good idea to set that regardless of where you're going to leave it. To get it working behind the router: Go into your router config page, Status, Local Network, DHCP clients table, grab the ip address of the lingo device from there, probably the only one without a host name or just compare the MACs. Then go to applications and gaming, DMZ, type the ip address in there. Option b, if you don't want to DMZ, go to port forwarding, forward 1024-1030, 5060-5065, and 10000-20000 to that IP address. If you feel like it, then type the ATA's ip address into the address bar, user/ph3taswe, WAN, make that IP static instead of DHCP. Irish: See if you get the static with the ATA connected direct to the net, and with another, preferably non-cordless phone. If so, complain to your ISP. Then, after they refuse to help you, call Lingo to have them switch you to the G729 codec. You lose the ability to fax, but a call now requires half the bandwidth. If you still get static, www.testmyvoip.com . If your latency's over 150 and/or you've got over 1% packet loss/discards, your ISP hates you and there's nothing practical to be done about it. Bill: Copy off Scott. Disclaimer: The above is the sort of useless support I spend my days providing, neither I, nor Lingo, take responsibility for any incidental damages, fees, or functional ATA's that may result from its use. This’ll probably never get read, but what the heck.

Would love any insite. I got the lingo box working in front of my router and in fact had a small stream of interenet connection to my pc, but it was a trickle. So that wouldn't work. I put the lingo box after the router, the WRT54G, and I get busy signals or it actually makes a call (testing to my cell phone and the cell phone rings) but no sound comes through the lingo phone. I tried setting up QoS, which I've never used before, but it seems straightforward enough. I just entered the MAC address of the lingo box and set it to highest. BUt that doesn't seem to work. I know it would be completely useless to call lingo support. thanks! I’m having the same or similar issues. Would love any insite.

I bought a Linksys WRT54GX$ router but one of Lingo's rep's suggested I downgrade to a Linksys WRT54G. I was getting loads of static from Lingo calls with the SRX400 router. From your note above, it sounds like this has to me my next move. Thank You. I am having loads of issues with my Lingo.

I am converting my old analog phone system over to Lingo VOIP. I have the Linksys WRT54G router and am having troble getting my Lingo adapter to function with the router. My preferred setup is the cable/modem connected to the Lingo Adapter then to the router (the router would then be connected to my other 2 PC's). I can get Lingo to work in this configuration, but then my router does not work. I have cloned the MAC address so that is not an issue(if it might have been). The alternate solution is the cable/modem connected to the router and then the Lingo adpater and the other PC's would be connected to the ethernet ports. This works fine for the router, but my Lingo adapter does not function. If I understand your article, you have found a way to get the Lingo adpater to work behind the router. You mentioned a way to get the voice traffic to have priority over data. How did you set that up??? I can access my router and can get to the QoS section. I have tried setting the port 1 to high priority, but I still can't get my Lingo Adpater to work behind the router. My Lingo adapter is a Primus adapter Model Name: iAN-02EX Model Number U53V005.00 Any advice that you could lend would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again!!! Bill Jeff,
