An ALG is an 'Application Layer Gateway'. Typically it's software in a router that inspects VoIP traffic and modifies the information inside in order to try and help make VoIP work better. In practice they tend to make things worse. you may end up with one way audio, no audio or be unable to register.

Disabling an ALG on your router may well help with any VoIP problems. Here are some notes on various routers that we've come across:

ZyXEL VMG1312 and VMG3925

Usually disabled by default.

  • Log in to the router's web interface
  • Go to:
    • Network Setting - NAT - ALG
  • Disable the settings there

To completely disable the SIP ALG, you will need to connect via Telnet to your router.

:connection unbind application=SIP port=5060
:saveall
:exit

(On older models/firmware the command to use is :nat unbind... rather than :connection unbind...)
