Fibre modem linking to wan port router Vodafone branded

Hello all

Please forgive me if I don’t know exactly what I am talking about.

I have a big problem with my fibre to the location supplied by Vodafone es.

I have a fibre modem that the fibre plugs in and then a cat 6 cable going to a Vodafone branded router wan port.

The router has a VoIP port on it that you plug a plain ordinary telephone in.

The problem is:

Vodafone are completely un co operative Even if you put a device on a static lan ip and make it dmz ports 5060 and 5061 and a load of other ports are blocked. It tells you in the router that these ports are blocked.

I need to get rid of the Vodafone router completely and use my own wan router. But I don’t know what credentials to use and voda won’t give me them. Cos the are zzz xxxxx!

So what I was thinking was putting a switch between the modem and the router lan port and putting a pc on the switch also with wireshark on it. So I can try and sniff what is going on.

I could try and use another one of my routers to watch what that does to try and logon. At least then I know what the username and password is I put in my own router so I can see what happens with no credentials.

I need the ports for my VoIP project.

I am not that bothered about Vodafone t&c so please no links to Vodafone t&c it’s not my fault my provider router steals ports i need.

Do I need port mirroring switch?

When the engineers came to install the broadband they pasted credentials from a spreadsheet into some browser, but like a fool I didn’t ask for them!
