I wish I could eliminate the modem and have the same configuration as with the AC66 (hate having an extra device in the setup)
You might be able to. I suspect NAT Acceleration was disabled in your RT-AC66U when you were using VLAN. If the setting wasn't listed, it was off. And it may have not been working even if that setting was set to enable:

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/please-sticky-how-bypass-bell-hub-use-your-own-router-1993629/2/#p26785688).You can try the two following situations:
1. You could test your VLAN setup with NAT acceleration disabled to see if that works without the modem.
So, (with your RT-AC3100 router) go to Advanced Settings-->LAN-->Switch Control-->NAT Acceleration.
Select "disable". Click "apply". Ensure that SIP Passthrough (Advanced Settings-->WAN-->NAT Passthrough) is set to "Enabled + NAT helper". Then reboot your router, followed by your ATA. Check Anveo registration status in the ATA. Test incoming and outgoing calls.
2. If #1 doesn't work, keep NAT Acceleration disabled, but this time set SIP Passthrough (Advanced Settings-->WAN-->NAT Passthrough) to "Enable". Click "apply", and then reboot your router, followed by your ATA. Check Anveo registration status in the ATA. Test incoming and outgoing calls.
For what it's worth, I don't see why #2 would make any difference when Anveo isn't using UDP 5060, but you can give #2 a shot.
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/voip-ms.31456/page-4#post-252999If #1 works, it's not VLAN by itself that's causing problems. It's VLAN in combination with NAT Acceleration.
You may decide you prefer to have NAT Acceleration on anyway (click
https://routerguide.net/nat-acceleration-on-or-off/ to learn what the feature is supposed to do). In that case, don't test #1 and #2 and be happy with what works. But I am a bit curious if #1 works (lol hint hint nudge nudge).
Otherwise, maintain your current setup with the Bell hub (and with NAT acceleration enabled and SIP Passthrough set to "Enabled + NAT helper") and be happy. I am curious about situation #1. I'm also curious if, without the Bell Hub or a modem, whether NAT mapping is guaranteed to work properly. I remember calling Bell several years ago and asking this question, but I couldn't find anyone who could answer my question properly.
Anyway, you're certainly not the first person who has experienced difficulty getting a SIP service working properly using this setup with Bell Fibe:

I couldn't be happier with the setup and im glad i ditched the POTS.
The combination of FTTH setup with VOIP is divine!
Probably the part I underlined applies then.
QuoteHonestly thanks again for all the help and for the guidance in my VOIP decisions.
You're very welcome!
