I had my router hooked up to my gateway that I purchased (SBG6580) and I can't remember if I had to unblock any of the firewall settings in order to get it to work it was over a year ago and I don't remember. But yesterday I bought a new router and hooked up the router to my modem and now I can't seem to get my obihai connected. I know I had a static IP address when it was connected to the gateway. How can I reset the entire obihai? I also accidently deleted the Obihai off my web portal and I am trying to readd it and it keeps telling me to dial the **number and when I do it keeps saying it was sent and that I can hang up but it doesn't seem to refresh the page so I can continue I guess maybe because I need to either open a port in my router or change the firewall settings. Any ideas please help! thanks!!!
Possibly the new router is using a different subnet from the old one. If the OBi is set to DHCP that would not matter but as you say your OBi has been set to a static IP address then it will not work.
You don't say what OBi model you have. If it is a 202 then ensure you have connected its INTERNET socket (not the LAN socket) to the router.
There are three ways to completely reset to defaults. I guess the third one below is not available to you.
1. The reset button underneath. https://www.obitalk.com/info/faq/Troubleshooting-sec/How-to-Factory-Reset
2. From attached, phone dial ***8 and follow the prompts.
3. Using the onboard web server GUI.
Maybe I'm just blabbering here, but I have it set up so that my router is AFTER my obi device. Why don't you try that first? I have a 202 device, just FYI, but I have it set up, so that my modem connects to my obi, and my obi then connects to my router and everything else is after that. That way I can even turn my router off if I want to without any issues for my obi, so that I'll always get my calls. Just a thought...

That is only possible with a 202 or 302 and they are rather poor routers compared to any modern router.
