My first post - so please be gentle with me ...
I'm trying to set up my brand new Ooma, and, three or four hours into that setup process, the third tier ooma customer support (866-493-6662) had me set up port forwarding because 'some' incoming calls never make it through (but others do).
Here's the overall setup (==> indicates wired connections while --> indicates wireless connections):
WISP AP --> Rooftop antenna & radio ==> Linksys WRT54G router --> Ooma Telo ==> Desktop telephone
Note: There is no modem.
After logging into the router, support had me go to the following tab:
Linksys WRT54G->Applications & Gaming->Port Range Forward
And, then Ooma support had me enter the following:
Application Start to End Protocol IP Address Enable
ooma 53 53 Both 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 110 110 TCP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 123 123 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 443 443 TCP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 514 514 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 1194 1194 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 3386 3386 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 3480 3480 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
ooma 10000 20000 UDP 192.168.1.104 [x]
My questions:
Q1: What did I just do (why did I do it)?
Q2: Is my router now less secure than it was before?
Q3: What happens when I reboot my router; won't it reassign a 'new' IP address to the Ooma?
Note: The router is set for DHCP to serve IP addresses starting at 100; and the Ooma is set to a static IP address of 104.
