Re: Problems with Qwest 2-Wire 2701HG - Does not support QOS...
not trying to add fuel to the fire here, but it seems this thread has gotten some attention on other forums.
was looking for some answers on another issue when I stumbled on this thread
»2-wire 2701HG does not support QoS?
seems that Kill4Speed had his 2701HG configured the way the documentation for the ALG (SIP Application Layer Gateway) says, (DISABLED) and set the settings up for his ATA.
I'll qoute questionable again, "The trick is to be smarter them the modem."
anyway, hope this helps. |

No, this does not help. VoIP is distorted when cruising the internet. I guess this model is now surfacing with Qwest & AT&T as a the dsl modem of choice and fails to meet the VoIP test, returned it, back to my old reliable Cisco.
Wherever it was posted, this outsource thing is going to bring us to out knees, shortly. I tried to call at&t, you get a leave your message at the tone and that was 60 days ago. No return call. That is why I gave up, and everyone else should to. They don't care, and after 90 days the telcos care less.
If you just received a 2701hg send it back as soon as you can. |

The 2701hg is a worthless DSL modem. No support from your DSL provider and 2wire will defer you to your phone company who states a fall 08 qos fix, yeah right. Trash it, or return it. |

Your DSL modem QOS configuration can really only affect your connection in one direction, UPLOAD. To get true QOS in both directions UP and DOWN everything in the path needs to be configured and participate, however the last time I checked the internet is best effort escpecailly when crossing multiple peoples networks. |

Just wanted to input my 2 cents. I was looking on Google to see if there was a firmware update for my modem when I came across this forum. My 2wire is working fine, I just like to keep thing up-to-date. Anyway, my modem is as follows:
2wire 2701HG-D Gateway
Software: 5.29.59-QT03
SIP Application Layer Gateway- DISABLED
Firewall For VoIP- Tried both Maximum Protection & DMZ
Qwest DSL Nebraska
I been using my 2wire along with Packet8 VoIP service for over a month now. It was free to try the first month with a free phone so I decided to give it a shot. I am always downloading large files and surf the web at the same time(we have an average of 2PC's in use at the same time, sometimes up to 5). I can say that even when downloading large files (XP SP2, etc) using the Windows down-loader and surfing the web, I have not had any distortion in my calls either in or out. I can say I had a slight jitter when using a faster download manager that makes more connections than it's share. Perfection is something that seems to much for any VoIP service. But otherwise I can say the 2Wire performs great even under that load. So like it was already said, "Throttle" your downloads.

I have Packet 8 also, but voice is garbage when downloading and upload files or cruising the internet. Glad it works for you, but from 2wire's web site;
What is QoS (Quality of Service) and does 2Wire support it?
Question
What is QoS? Does 2Wire support QoS?
Answer
QoS, or Quality of Service, is a method for increasing the chances for specified types of network traffic to be transmitted and received as quickly as possible.
QoS is not currently implemented by 2Wire, because all 2Wire hardware and software is customized for our ISP partners, and no partner has requested the general implementation of QoS for their customers.
Some third-party network equipment has various types of QoS enabled, but if the ISP does not share QoS with the customer-side equipment, any benefits will only be realized in the LAN. Once the packets move to the WAN they are treated as any other packets.

On the home network QOS is upload mostly or only. |
