I've switch back and forth between Modem > Ooma Telo > (Router) and Modem > Router > Ooma. The reason for doing so is when it is configured Modem > Ooma Telo > Router, my internet drops out frequently. When it is configured Modem > Ooma Telo, most of the time I have it configured Modem > Ooma Telo > PC for setup.ooma.com access. When it is configured as such, the internet cuts out (seen through internet search for answers and in the internet connection status on setup.ooma.com. I only set it up with Modem > Router > Ooma when I need consistent internet access to look for troubleshooting help. I mostly keep it set up with Ooma Telo > PC. (and yes, every time I switch, everything comes down, the modem is reset w/o the battery installed, and it comes up in the connection order whether it's Modem > Router > Ooma or Modem > Ooma > PC or Router). I do this to take the Router out of the equation for most of the testing.

Now to answer your questions...
1. The router firewall is disabled and just to be sure, I take it out of the equation anyway, connecting to the modem
2. I got a new number. I am not porting anything and CS verified this morning that I activated it to match this statement.

Update:

Ooma CS said it ran some test and my ISP is blocking (at least some of) the needed ports.
UDP 53, UDP 123, UDP 514, UDP 1194,UDP 3386, UDP 3480, UDP 10000-20000, TCP 53 and TCP 443.

They did not specify which. I've asked them to be specific about which port are being blocked because I called my service provider and they said the modem does not block any ports....classic catch 22.

My ISP is Telmex (now Claro) Peru.
My Modem is an Arris TM602G.

When I enter the IPConfig (using 192.168.100.1), I get a page with some configuration data, but it says nothing about ports and/or firewalls.

Does anyone know how to get into a TM602G to edit the configuration or at least see port related information?

Here is the Modem ipconfig data:

Update:

My problem is being refined to being with my ISP. In short, if you have a flashing / blinking red emblem and Line 1 /Line 2 are both illuminated and various other leds come in and out at variable intervals, don't look outside of the box (Ooma Telo, for me) for the answer. Also make sure you read: http://www.ooma.com/support/knowledgebase/advanced-connections-and-service-ports. Most likely your ISP is interfering with this statement:

Ooma uses the following application ports for outbound data and voice traffic:
UDP 53, UDP 123, UDP 514, UDP 1194,UDP 3386, UDP 3480, UDP 10000-20000, TCP 53 and TCP 443.

Because I took my Ooma to a friends house on another ISP, I suspect this is the problem.

Just because my problem is outside of Ooma, doesn't mean I don't need your help.
I have asked my ISP about blocked ports in the TM602G modem (connected directly to the Telo). They say the modem doesn't block ports. What question am I not asking my ISP to get them to allow the port list above to be open?

....still needing help and Ooma Tech support says if it's not in their equipment, it's not their problem.

Update: My service provider assures me that they are not blocking any ports.

I read where one guy fixed his troubles by buying this:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9287&p=65668&hilit=amplifier#p65668

This is the thread:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9287&p=65668&hilit=amplifier#p65668

I don't think this is the trouble, but the symptoms that are listed there are similar, so off I goto radioshack.

Update, the amplifier didn't do a thing for me.

Hello,

Looking at your log, it is having trouble establishing a tunnel connection.
I'm not sure if your box is currently in the US. Did you have it working in the states?
Have you tried in another location, perhaps different network?
If you are still within the store's return period, you may want to contact them for a replacement.

@ntoy,

I can tell you for sure the Tunnel status says it is not connected on setup.ooma.com

I am not in the USA and have never tied it in the USA. I had it shipped to me in Peru. I wrote ( I know there's a lot in the thread to go through) that I did in fact take it to a friend's home on another network here in Peru who has Ooma and it worked! That's what leads me to believe it to be a problem with the ISP.

What do you know about know about the tunneling problem? Is there something I can tell the ISP to change in the modem regarding this that will help? I just don't know what to tell them to do, since they said the ports or not blocked. They seem willing to help, but they don't know what I need.

Unfortunately I don't have specs on a Arris TM602G to see if there are any firewall/security settings.
How about your router for firewall/security if you are using Modem>router>telo?

You did try using "Built in Mac?" in setup.ooma.com? Then boot ALL devices in sequence allowing ech to go online before booting the next.

Have you tried a modem hard reset (either through a reset button on the modem device or through modem device URL page: http://192.168.100.1 do a "restore factory default" and reboot). This will make your modem relearn your cable line parameters/characteristics.

Like ntoy says, use Built In Modem Port MAC address?

Thanks guys,

When I test, I configure Modem>Ooma, leaving everything else out of the equation. When I do connect the Router to the Ooma home port, or even a PC (to use setup.ooma.com) the internet on the Home Port is spotty at best, so when I am not testing, I return it to Modem > Router > Ooma to get consistent internet, I have noticed a correlation between loss of internet and a sold Trash and Voicemail light.

My Telo is configured for USE BUILT IN MAC.
Anytime I change the setup at all, everything comes down and I hard reset the modem, and power up starting with Modem, then moving sequentially down the line.

When I log into the TM602G modem, it is not a configuration to be edited, but 4 pages of status:

Your downstream power is high at 15. Should be near 0dBmv.

But, when you say hard reset your modem, is it through the reset button on your modem? Or are you just talking about power cycling your modem? I mean to reset using the reset button (if the url setup page doesn't give you that option); this will take your modem a while to come back online again because it will figure out the optimal paramters given your cable line qualities.
