Go buy a WRT-54G or nearly any consumer-class router and just plug in
a SIP device.  Done.  It works.  We *never* work on customer routers
and very rarely have to tell them to reconfigure their router at all.
My own home configuration is an Airport Extreme with zero
configuration.  So either these are very old routers you're having a
problem with, or buggy SIP devices, or something else.

It's a piece of junk and everyone knows it, including the owners, so who cares?
