[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk crashes my router!?

[Robbie Hughes]

I have exactly the same problem. It occurs with asterisk server based 
locally or external to the local net. My way around it is to use an 
external modem and then use a Draytek 2900 for the dual subnet routing. 
I'm hoping that will solve it as I'm getting dropped calls left right 
and centre... ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Thu, 2 Dec

Maybe the router can't handle the traffic?  If you have a modem before your
router, try connecting * right to the modem and using rpppoe.
