850 and Ubos phone
We have been trying to use a Uboss internet phone setup for some weeks. Calls are basically a nightmare in how hit and miss they are. Uboss have told my ISP we are disconnecting every 60 seconds but N...
Sorry spellings but I am dislexic
I have added it to the DMZ now, hot nights stoping sleeping have some benifit. I had already had the router off but done so again after adding to the DMZ.
As to the rest, no idea what the modem is, on fiber and its a white box. Cables are as supplied with Orbi and Cisco Phone box. Phone is linked via cable and have used a phone direct into the Cisco box with same problems.
2 other RBS probably nearer than 30 feet but the router is in what was a garage with a brick wall that effects wiFi so the first RBS is ethernet conexted. 3rd one is probably 30 feet vaway from 2nd one.
No idea what happens with RBS off to be honist I cant see why they would cause the signal between the Cisco and Uboss to keep disconexting but nothing else being effected.
I havent done a full reset, Im 80 and its all geting a bit much, we are really thinking of going back onto a land line that bjust alows phone calls whan you make them not messing about for weeks trying to get calls over the web that dont work most of the time!

- One problem of adding the device to DMZ is just geting to sleep and phone pinged as scanning stack been blocked
Not sure if any way of doing anything or what they could do to a phone box but hope no more tonight!An update. It occurred to me if Armor was blocking Scanning attacks it was still active on the IP address added to the DMZ so tried turning it off. The problem went. I am running more tests as the problem isn’t constant, calls when connected are Ok and clearly when its down not!
I take it Netgear servers are partly down as the support one isn’t responding. But I can find no way of getting the Armor installed on the Orbi to ignore an IP address indeed just found lots of compliance of not being able to do anything to it over the years. If tests keep showing that’s the problem I will be left with the choise of Armor or phone.
I have a Uboss phone setup. Its never worked and running the Cisco box via DMZ made no change. I terned armer off and it worked, back on not working. How do you get it to not block an IP maddress?
