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.
