# Rogers Ignite Gateway (XB6/XB7/XB8) Configuration Guide

## **Introduction**

This guide provides our recommended configuration for the Rogers Ignite Gateway (XB6, XB7, and XB8) to ensure optimal VoIP performance.

---

## **✅ Quick Checklist: Identify Your Gateway Model**

Rogers currently uses three main gateway models. Your configuration steps depend on which one you have:

| **Model** | **Manufacturer** | **SIP ALG Status** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **XB6** | Arris | ✅ **Can be disabled** via Advanced > Options |
| **XB7** | Technicolor | ❌ **Cannot be disabled** in firmware |
| **XB8** | Technicolor | ⚠️ **Likely cannot be disabled** (assumed same as XB7) |

---

## **Provider-Specific Requirements**

> [!NOTE]
> **Important:** Important: You need to allow traffic from the following IP range through your firewall.

| **Requirement** | **Specification** |
| --- | --- |
| **IP Range to Whitelist** | `64.26.133.64/27` |
| **Ports to Open** | UDP `5060-5061` (SIP) and UDP `10000-20000` (RTP) |

---

## **⚙️ XB6 (Arris) Configuration**

The XB6 allows you to disable SIP ALG directly in the web interface.

| **Step** | **Action** | **Details** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **1** | Access gateway interface | Open browser to `10.0.0.1`. Log in with your Rogers credentials. |
| **2** | Navigate to Advanced > Options | Find the **Advanced** section, then **Options** tab. |
| **3** | Disable SIP | **Uncheck the SIP box** and click **Apply**. |
| **4** | Reboot gateway | Reboot for changes to take effect. |

---

## **⚠️ XB7 / XB8 Configuration**

> [!CAUTION]
> **Critical:** The XB7 and XB8 do not have a user-accessible option to disable SIP ALG. It is enabled by default with no official way to turn it off.

If you have an XB7 or XB8, you have two options:

### **Option 1: Alternative SIP Settings (Workaround)**

Some users have success by configuring their VoIP device with:

| **Setting** | **Recommended Value** |
| --- | --- |
| **Local SIP Port** | Use a random port between `30000-60000` |
| **SIP Server** | Try alternate ports like `6060` |

### **Option 2: Bridge Mode + Your Own Router (Recommended)**

This turns the Rogers gateway into just a modem, letting you use your own router with full VoIP control. **Note: This may affect Ignite TV service**.

| **Step** | **Action** | **Details** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **1** | Access gateway interface | Open browser to `10.0.0.1`. Log in with your Rogers credentials. |
| **2** | Navigate to Bridge Mode | Find **Bridge Mode** in Advanced settings (location varies by firmware). |
| **3** | Enable Bridge Mode | Enable Bridge Mode. Gateway will reboot. |
| **4** | Configure your router | Connect your router to the gateway. Configure with standard VoIP settings (SIP ALG off, port forwarding). |

---

## **🔒 If Using Bridge Mode + Your Own Router**

Add the following access rule to your personal router:

| **Field** | **Value** |
| --- | --- |
| **Service** | Any (or specify UDP ports above) |
| **Source** | `64.26.133.64/27` |
| **Destination** | Your VoIP device's IP address |
| **Action** | **ALLOW** |
| **Comment** | VoIP Provider Whitelist |

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The `/27` notation includes **32 IP addresses** ranging from `64.26.133.64` to `64.26.133.95`.

---

## **✅ Configuration Checklist**

| **#** | **Task** |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Identified your Rogers gateway model (XB6, XB7, or XB8) |
| 2 | For XB6: SIP ALG disabled in Advanced > Options |
| 3 | For XB7/XB8: Attempted alternative SIP ports OR enabled Bridge Mode |
| 4 | If using Bridge Mode: Access rule created for `64.26.133.64/27` on personal router |
| 5 | Test call successful (two-way audio) |

---

## **SIP-ALG Verification Test**

> [!NOTE]
> **Test URL:** `http://mcstest.visualware.com/myspeed/myvoiph5_g711_sipalg.html`

| **Item** | **Detail** |
| --- | --- |
| **Expected Result** | `SIP ALG Firewall: N` |
| **If Result Shows "Y"** | SIP-ALG is still active. For XB7/XB8, Bridge Mode may be your only solution. |
