This morning I discovered that my OOMA VOIP service was NOT working after having flashed to Firmware 4.50 on the Flint router. I powered off/on the OOMA Telo VOIP Adapter to see if that made a difference. It did not…I tried enabling the SIP ALG Feature on Firmware 4.50 to see if that made any difference. It did not.
Twice I flashed back to version 4.46 and restored settings and each time I went back to Firmware 4.46 my OOMA Voip Service would work again. And each time I went back to firmware 4.50 on the FLINT my OOMA Voip service would not work.

OOMA VOIP is one of the most widely used residential VOIP services in the U.S.
For GL.inet’s reference OOMA states it uses the following ports.

remote UDP/TCP 53, 1194, 1294
remote TCP 80, 110, 443
remote UDP 67, 123, 3480
local UDP 49000 to 50000
remote UDP 10000 to 20000

So I’m back on firmware 4.46 and my OOMA VOIP service is working again. Some change in 4.50 is not compatible with the OOMA VOIP service.

Hello, is there any configuration for voip in version 4.4.6? If so, please keep the same configuration as 4.4.6 in version 4.5.0.Then test again, note: do not enable sip alg on 4.5.0.

_zhang,

There’s no VOIP configuration (No addons) in 4.4.6. I did NOT enable sip alg when I first tested 4.50. I only enabled it as a test after I found 4.50 not working with OOMA and when I found it did not work enabling it I disabled it again as was the original case. If you have an updated build to test of 4.50 let me know and I’ll test it with OOMA and let you know how it goes. Right now I am back on 4.46 and OOMA VOIP service is working (Like I said I tested it twice by installing uninstalling and both times I found 4.50 from yesterday would kill OOMA VOIP service and reinstalling 4.4.6 and restoring settings would return OOMA VOIP to working.
Let me know if you have an alternative updated build of 4.50 to test. Thanks.

Hello, I have compared the differences between version 4.4.6 and version 4.5.0. The two packages of ipt-ipopt and ipt-conntrack-extra were cancelled in version 4.5.0. Could you please test them again after installing these two packages in 4.5.0?Similarly, sip alg does not need to be enabled.

OK…I did test openwrt-ax1800-4.5.0-1010-1696887780.tar once again but again it killed OOMA VOIP Service…I just got everything working again on 4.46…I will install 4.50 once more and then install
the two packages you requested and will report back if that solves the issue.

motox22a · October 10, 2023, 5:31am

I’m finally back…
Well _zhang…There’s a reason they removed ipt-ipopt and ipt-conntrack-extra from 4.50…
I installed 4.50 for the fourth time…And confirmed that for the fourth time it killed OOMA VOIP Service. Then I attempted to install ipt-popt and ipt-conntrack-extra plugins from the gl-inet repository…ipt-popt installed without issue…Then I attempted to install ipt-conntrack-extra…That completely locked me out of the gl.inet interface. I attempted to get back in by powering on/off…Nope…I was locked out of the interface…
I finally had to unhook the Flint Router and bring it to a local PC where I then did a reset so I could get into UBOOT where I then was able to restore 4.46 .img file…After that I restored 4.46 settings from my saved .tar.
And I am back on 4.46 and have OOMA VOIP working again…I am done for the evening.

I just tried it, and it’s exactly what you said, when I tried to install ipt-conntrack-extra, the router crashed.This seems to be a bug with the snapshots 10.10 firmware. It doesn’t appear in the October 9 beta.

Decided to try the 10/9 Beta again…It immediately stopped OOMA VOIP from working…But then as you said I was able to install both ipt-popt and ipt-conntrack-extra in the 10/9 Beta without issue…I rebooted the router and the OOMA VOIP adapter but unfortunately the OOMA VOIP service still did not work so it appears that those two packages are not the problem…I would be looking at the reworked MWAN (Kmwan) as the possible culprit. I’m back on 4.46 and OOMA is working again. Good night.

_zhang · October 11, 2023, 1:58am

I made some modifications based on the 10/9 Beta version to try to fix this problem, but I don’t have an environment here, could you please help verify it?If you are willing to help, you can tell me your email address by private message, and I will send the firmware to you by email.Thank you very much.

I sent you my email via private message.
