NO JOY Losing IP on phones during provisioning

I'm trying to set up 3 new Yealink T42S phones with the latest firmware in an office using stun with 3cx/PIAF on an OVH vps.
The WAN has a static IP from Spectrum Business;
The router is a NetGear R8000P providing phones and switches with static IPs;
The switch is a NetGear M4100-D12G where I've tried the built-in Auto-Voice vLAN and manually built a voice vLAN with no joy from either approach.
SIP ALG is disabled;
SIP ports (incremented) are forwarded;
RTP port ranges are forwarded

Prior to setting up the phones in 3cx, IPs are assigned exactly as expected for everything in the office, including the phones.
However, when the phone is reset and tries to provision, the network connection is lost.

I've eliminated the phone, the cabling, the physical ports on the switch.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I would try DHCP instead of static and let LLDP-MED in the phone pull the voice vlan

I'll give that a try @islandtech but the 3cx training is very clear about recommending static IPs for the phones.
Have you solved this particular problem by using LLDP-MED?

Does the firewall check pass in 3cx?
I don't use 3cx, dislike having to open ports
LLDP works as expected on a couple of my sites

You're right but, the 3cx Academy training very explicitly says this should be done.

For my own edification where is that stated?
I can't find it.

FWIW I've had the same problem registering a Yealink T46G with a static IP address.

Do you know how you resolved the T42G network availability issue?
It seems to me that the IP could be dynamic since the ports are fowarded based on the MAC address, not the port.
Is there something wrong with that logic?

I use 3CX Clients with 3CX. Haven't had a chance to talk to the 3CX folks about it.
Ouch! I didn't realize that you didn't use 3CX for client installations. I've been reading your posts for 4 years and never picked up on that. I hope I haven't put myself in a box here. It looks real straight forward but I just can't get the phones to play nice.

Perhaps @3CX can shed light on the issue. Probably a simple solution that we're both missing.

I've got a couple of different posts in the 3cx forum with no real activity. I didn't realize that 3cx offered direct support but I'll look into it. This is a MAJOR problem.
