I have a Magic jack internet phone well my router firewall seems to be blocking it how can i exclude it from the firewall in my router?

perhaps your firewall blocking it
404 = no access to internet

Some Magic Jack units do not reset themselves when your router loses the upstream connection (even momentarily). In that case, try unplugging the Magic Jack and then reconnecting it to the USB port.

If that doesn't help, check your firewall settings (both on the computer and the router). You may need to force the firewall to allow the Magic Jack to communicate with the wide-area network. (This could involve finding the MAC address of the Magic Jack. Then set the MAC address to a specific IP address in the router or set Port Forwarding in the router administrative pages. See http://zaxa.ca/magicjack-plus-not-working-plugged-directly-in-the-router-solved-english for some specifics.)

Please add a comment with your router make and model for specific information on accessing these settings pages.

I hope this helps.

(my ISP has been having upstream problems since early November. We have to reset some devices daily to correct the "lost network connection" issue due to the down time.)

To use without computer plug ethernet cord into magicjack otherend into router plug phone in to magicjack plus plug magic jack plus int power adapter plug power adapter into power outlet should work but does not no calls in or out in reverseorder and has to be online with internet conection .

Actiontech what, they many vast models, and routers, and mix.

or cable modem, ? uses COAX ! not 2wire twisted like DSL.
or are you doing the MAGIC jack , with NO COMPUTER owned

The magic jack does not plugin to any modem ethernet port
ever. its usb.

t

Broadband, high-speed internet, cable internet, DSL - WiFi, Fios fiber. and more , dial up? nah you dont have LAND LINE./


error codes,. the first page in the manual states !
Contact your Internet service provider to verify your modem allows more than one device to access the Internet if you receive error 3002 when trying to use MagicJack Plus. Some modems and modem/routers-in-one may not be compatible for use with MagicJack Plus if multiple devices are connected to your network.

We dont know what ISP you have nor the connection type
cable tv modem, DSL, FIOS what?
nor the modem you have , you never said,

this is far more complex
its not magic at all,
fire walls set wrong
ISP blocks you, at your mixed, router and modem
using the routers, USB port is a FAIL.
if you want great help answer what you have and what is connected
in details.
the MAGIC jack as 3 ways to connect,
USB or ethernet.?

Consult Customer support, it may be they are incompatible or Firewall/router problems exist.

This means that you probably have a firewall up. You need to change your firewall settings so the Magic Jack is allowed access.

Below is the exact list of the TCP and UDP Ports that you will have to open in your firewall and router (NOT port forward) to achieve 100% connectivity:

TCP Ports List: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS)
UDP Ports List: 5060, 5070, 10000-65535


See your router guide for details on how to open ports.

Hello.

Your router may be blocking outgoing connections from the magic jack. Magic jack works on the following ports UDP 5061, TCP 80 and TCP 443. Look at the documentation on your firewall to open the ports to allow outgoing connections on these ports.

Hope this helps.

try to see if you can access the internet using ping Press the Windows key (bottom left of the keyboard} and at the same time press the R key, now in the search box that appears - type CMD a black box will appear in there type the following ping google.com if you get for replies then you can access the internet and your firewall maybe blocking the access try disabling the firewall. If you get no reply -then you need to look at the settings of the router you could do a factory reset of the router - button on the back of the router marked reset , hold the button - or using a untwisted paperclip in the hole - for 10secs The router will now be reset

you don't if you are sensible. Set the firewall with the correct ports instead, ask vonage for the port settings you need.

I haven't had any problems with my MJ, but that, I think, is because I port forwarded MJ. That's what seems to be your problem. You need to port forward your MJ into your firewall/router. If you don't think you have a firewall and/or router, your a noob. All pc have a firewall, at least. Windows has a firewall. If you get your internet connection is from broadband then you most likely have a router with a firewall. Some routers are buit into the broadband modem. Figure out what kind/name your firewall, router, modem is, and go to www.portforward.com. Click on the routers model number, then click on MagicJack. If you just have a firewall, and no router, they have a page just for firewalls. If your not sure what you have then click the "Start Here" link on their first page.
