SIP ALG and why it should be disabled on most routers (2024)

Most home/residential routers have a web interface. Typically this is 192.168.1.1 but you just check your default gatewayby typingipconfigin Windows command prompt orifconfigon Linux systems fromany connected deviceon the same LAN.
If your router does not have a web interface you will most likely need a Telnet client tologin.
If you don't have a telnet client installed we recommendSmartty (smartty.sysprogs.com)
Connect intelnet to the IPv4 address of your gateway and hit enter again.
Asus Routers

Disable the option SIP Passthrough under Advanced Settings / WAN -> NAT Passthrough.
If your router doesn't have this option SIP ALG may be disabled via Telnet.
