You need to isolate the Gateway network from the rest of your services or you might experience interference. Essentially, your gateway and all the portals need to be behind that filter and your internet, digital phone before the filter.

drop --> internet/phone --> filter --> portal/players

The filter prevents traffic that the gateway and portals use to communicate with each other from leaking back and interfering with internet and digital phone.
