Re: Pre-N and VOIP woes
No QoS issues here... it is simply the firewall blocking the UDP packets.
For the record, my QoS as reported by that website is 98%, rtt of only 2ms and max latency of 15ms... my connection rocks  .
On a side note...I did some speed tests through speakeasy's site before and after I switched out the routers (this belkin replaced a dlink) and saw marginally higher throughput... by about 10kbytes/s on download). |

Honestly, I can't really explain it, but I was having problems similar to you for a while and I really thought it was the router. I really never did much other than a series of reloading firmware, rebooting quite a few times, running some tweak tests (you can find them here in the test section of this site)...and it seemed to 'magically' repair itself! Still not sure what the problem really was. My VoIP provider was having issues around the same time, so it could have been that.
I notice now that my upload speeds are pretty consistently running around 100kbs less when I'm using the VoIP, so that tells me the router QoS function is working.
When all else fails, disconnect everything, plug back in this order: modem (let boot up), router (let boot up), VoIP box (let boot up), then plug in your ethernet connections and boot up your computers...its worth a try...
Have you tried running any QoS tests? Try »myspeed.visualware.com
...it will give you speeds and QoS percentage. |
