How to disable SIP ALG on Draytek Router

draytekSIP ALG is an option which is enabled on most modern routers by default, but unfortunately it can interfere with SIP and VoIP functionality. To disable SIP ALG on a Draytek router do the following:

  1. open a telnet session to the IP address of the Draytek (usually 192.168.1.1)
  2. to check if SIP ALG is currently enabled type ” sys sip_alg ? ” (without the ” ” obviously)
  3. to disable SIP ALG type ” sys sip_alg 0 “
  4. then to save the changes type ” sys commit “
  5. then ” sys reboot “

If you cannot telnet to the router, check that telnet is enabled on the router via the web interface (usually 192.168.1.1) under ” Management “
