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...
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?
I currently have a set of near new Orbi 850’s. These have been no problem until we changed from a land line telephone to VoIP. There were immediate problems, calls not connecting and unable to dial them which was due to the connection cycling every 60 seconds. After nearly 4 weeks of getting nowhere with Netgear support and having done a total factory reset and no change I am changing them for a different make that my ISP says work with VoIP.
Nowhere does this leave me with Armor, as usual when I asked support I got no response on this. My subscription is until December and fallowing an offer is much cheaper than one with Bitdefender if renewed then!
Clearly its wouldn’t have anything on the router but would it still keep working on the other installs?
As an aside Bitdefender support were actually doing something and got me to do a set of debug logs something Netgear support never did they just kept avoiding actually looking at the problem for 4 weeks! But by then I had eliminated Armor by disabling it and was still geting the cycling.
