Could somebody please advise me what I need to enable a yahoo voice voip phone service via my speedstream 6520.
You should log on to the GUI mode of the Router. There you should find the settings for the VOIP.
Also check this link and you should get the infor specific to the Yahoo VOIP
http://voice.yahoo.com/
Dear yohwayne
I am afraid that there are incompatibilities between speedstream 6520 and Voip service. I will need to look at this a little bit further but I think the only workaround is a firmware update. (modified version of the original)

Dear yohwayne
Can you please tell me your ISP service provider. I am speculating that the ISP may have blocked your wireless router from voip service.
Regards.

Well even when we dont know yet your ISP we shall certainly need to
setup the voip service as you will have have the following data available to port forward these ports for voip data. (app 30kb/sec each way) for the SpeedStream 6520.
Go to the
ADVANCE tab
then select
APPLICATION - PORT MAPPING SETUP
select protocol UDP
and
forward the ports between 5000 to 5060
Then select the option to 'Redirect selected protocol/application to IP Address' and
Then enter in the static IP of your phone.
Dear yohwayne
The ISP service TADAUST is offering this particular plan for broadband.
TAD Super
256 / 64 kbps
12 GB
$29.95
The reason that I am telling you this is because the download speed required for voip service is at least 512/512 kbps (estimate an average 300/300 kbps
(30kilobytes/per second) to make it work from your end to the other and
backwards) If the speed is not enough the line will suffer cuts and
breakouts.
Therefore even if we set this system up it may be too slow to be able to have any functionality for telephony service.
Can you please verify with me that this is the plan you own?
Many regards

*Please also try to answer at the 1st post you have written as it is
impossible to follow any traceability with new posts. :) (Thanks)
Very important addition:
Also the TADAUST ISP is based on using the telstra ADSL network which is providing the SIEMENS speedstream 6520 with disable voip capabilities..
This means that also the firmware of this router/modem has to be changed to be able to use voip service.
These are not good news for your requirements and I suggest calling your ISP to verify my words and ask for a possible workaround to this issue. If these are not solve please dont proceed on buying a yahoo voip service as it will be unusable and a waste of money.
Many regards
