Somerville, MA | Does non-P Linksys have QoS -- use that? If the reports of the WRTP54G are that it A) runs hot, and B) may still have firmware issues, then would a good solution be to use a WRT54G and turn on QoS for the Vonage port? (it can it do that, right?)
I've just been looking at Vonage for the past 24 hours, and here's what I'm thinking...
1 - In order to have the Vonage service be portable (take it to work, to a friends for the weekend, etc) it would be nice not to have the TA integrated into my router.
2 - I run various web services (personal -- only used by me) so I don't want to get mired down with a second NAT tier (which makes Vonage portability a PITA)
3 - Isn't QoS meaningless in this application?? I've heard that ISPs drop QoS tags anyway, so that services like Vonage don't try to manage their own packet piority on the ISPs network. Cananyone verify this? (I'm on Comcast)

Pompano Beach, FL | the QOS is for your net not theres, it will help with keeping say your monster movie downlode from screwing with your voice quality. I also have comcast 4mb flavore and the QOS makes a hell of a dif when turned off IMO. THe router itself blows, Ive had 4 so far all 4 haev had same issue all get way to hot and all seem to slow the net to a crawl. wait and see what new firmware can do. |
