Found it interesting that the new Linksys AC1200 that I bought for $29.99 after instant $30 savings on $59.99 price tag at BJ's didnt require any port forwarding to get my Vonage VoIP phone to work.
Do new routers now detect the devices connected to them and know what needs forwarding?
All other routers in the past Vonage wouldnt work unless I went in a port forwarded. Usually I had to create a reservation for that mac address to Vonage device to have a set IP and then port forwarding for that IP for ports 21 thru 10000 for tcp and udp.
Received phone call while configuring router live tonight and tested phone after that call and Vonage is happy and no forwarding added which is cool but also like how does this work correctly without forwarding configuration.
