Setup with multiple IP addresses in Vonage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21155265 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:45:45 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:45:45 EDT Re: Setup with multiple IP addresses http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155754 LBDSL : Using one of the available 3 Public IP's WOW gives you, will not change the quality of your Vonage service. However if you do want your Vonage device to have it's own Public IP address. You will want to do the following:

Cable modem -> Switch -> Vonage device in one port of the switch, and a router in the other port(of the switch) to feed your other devices.

I read somewhere that multiple IP's might improve my Vonage call quality, which is sometimes pretty bad.
Absolutely, positively not ... Doesn't make technical sense. You are still in contention for the same bandwidth.

If are sourcing from multiple IP address, like a dual WAN router for example, your registration will be flopping back and forth and incoming call will intermittently fail.

If you have can get multiple IP's on the same cable connection, you are going to have to assign ONE to the ATA directly or as a NAT translation.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155609 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:24:02 EDT Setup with multiple IP addresses http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155265 Andante51 : After 12 years with Comcast, with their newly announced 250 GB cap and throttling high-usage folks, and Wow's new 15/2 service just coming out, I'm finally telling Comcast to take a hike.

My question relates to how I might setup Vonage differently than I do now because Wow will give me multiple IP addresses for free. I read somewhere that multiple IP's might improve my Vonage call quality, which is sometimes pretty bad.

Now I think my setup is: Cable modem - then router - and Linksys PAP2 plugged into the router, so everything shares my one Comcast IP address.

Could someone more knowledgeable than I tell me if there would be a better way to set it up when I have multiple IP's that might result in better call quality? OR - with the high speed 15/2, will that be more trouble than it's worth, as my download and upload stream will be so much greater? Beginning to think it is the low speed upload on Comcast that is causing me the voice quality problems.

Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155265 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:11:05 EDT
