My setup was similar: cable modem --> TA612V --> Safe@Office 500 firewall/router --> internal network switch. I needed to move the TA612V inside the firewall to allow the firewall to establish VPNs with other outside addresses. Following your instructions, with a couple of local variations, did the trick. Changes specific to my env't: Step 3: I had to attach the TA612V Ethernet socket direct to my PC to get at the admin web interface, and then I configured the LAN settings on the TA612V to use a specific 192.168.0.x internal address, and turned DHCP off. Step 4: also completed with the TA612V direct to the PC. Steps 6 & 7: Turned out to be unnecessary for me - once I connected the TA612V Internet port to one of the Ethernet ports on the inside of my firewall, VOIP was working straight away. Step 8: If you're running a switch/hub internally, you can connect the Ethernet port of the TA612V to a spare switch port, and the TA's web admin interface will then be available on the IP address assigned in Step 3 above. Once again, many thanks for posting such a helpful procedure, all the best. Wonderful, thank you – what a pleasure to find a helpful soul on the ‘net who has grappled with the problem I was facing.

I don't exactly understand your question. What do you mean by "I have a modem router, DSL-504T instead of connecting the modem to the router". If you mean that your DSL-Modem and router is one and the same device (which I assume), then you can follow this guide, obviously skipping parts one and two. I'm sorry that I won't send you detailed instructions on how to setup your port forwarding via e-mail. Instead I hope you know someone to assist you there. You can find more (general) infos about port-forwarding for your DSL-504T for example here: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DSL-504T/ICUII.htm Step 7 should allow your TA612V to receive automatic updates from Sipgate. But (as you can read in he text) I have never tried to investigate that behaviour because I didn't need the auto-update function. Just try to forward these two ports to your TA612V. Perhaps you can report sometimes if the auto-updates work then. I hope that I could help you at least a little bit. Hi Sunny.

I have a modem router, DSL-504T instead of connecting the modem to the router. Does it matter? In addition, I don't understand what I need to do in Step 6 and Step 7. Could you write more specifically about them by email to me? Thank you! B.regards, Sunny Hi, I have a question. I have a modem router, DSL-504T instead of connecting the modem to the router.

Thank you so much for posting your article on using a Netgear TA612V behind a router, I've been trying unsuccessfully for weeks to get a home network running between two computers but one being behind the TA612V was preventing this. Now I have internet access on both pc's, my phone works and I can share files and printers! I really cannot thank you enough. Kindest regards from the UK, Michelle x WOW this worked first time!!!!
