| Tomato Firmware with VoIP
I have been trying CallCentric without success (bad voice quality) for the past day and a half. I'm trying a third router now, a Buffalo WHR-G54S as I don't want to give up on their service yet. I still get bad voice quality though. Are there people that use tomato firmware and are there any special settings that I need to make with tomato to improve the voice quality.
Thx |

|  I've been running Tomato 1.23 for over a year with VOIP service from Future-Nine. Any time I had a problem with my connection, it was resolved by a configuration change of my ATA.

Don't I need to forward ports to the phone? |

| Typically not with tomato. However if you get one-way audio you may need to.
By the way, there are a ton of topics here regarding using Tomato with VoIP. Let search be your friend!  |

Tomato QOS -> Basic Settings screen | 
Tomato QOS -> Classification screen |
I'm port forwarding 5000-5070 to the IP of my HT-502 (don't ask me why I'm doing this whole range -- I think this is left over from when I was troubleshooting w/ ViaTalk before I left them. I'm not convinced that I even need to port forward at all, but if it ain't broke...). I also have QOS setup as shown in the attached screenshots. Again, I don't know how it ended up like this -- but it's working, so I'm going to leave it alone. I just thought you'd like to take a peek at what I'm doing since it seems to be doing the trick. Good luck. |

RTP runs on ports 10000-20000 UDP. If your audio problems are so bad, run Ping Plotter to your proxy. Maybe your internet is not running well.

The problem happens in 3 different setups, with an Apple Extreme, Westel routers and also running X-Lite.
Btw. I'm a Mac user. |
