Re: Connectivity Issues--Downloading/Internet Radio
Well yes and no; mostly no.
The router, if it has QoS, does have control over both the upload and download streams it handles. So setting priorities there should clear up all the Internet radio issues.
If the router doesn't have QoS, then perhaps you could tweak your "downloading" application to go a little more gently. If it's actually a P2P application like BitTorrent, then I strongly suggest you limit its upstream to a 1/4 or less of your available upstream bandwidth. That really helped me with VoIP, and my old router doesn't have QoS.

B, this is precisely (or practically) what I have been told and that's why I wanted a back-up opinion. Having said that, I am a router for dummies type. How do I find out if my router has Qos, which I have been reading about on this site and QoS-Tomato site. I have no idea how to get to the nitty gritty and change this stuff. I've been told at my internet radio forum that the VoIP, streaming services should have high priority and FTP traffic a lower priority. Again, router for dummies here. I have an AT&T 2wire, if that helps decipher whether QoS or P2P. Any ideas where I can go to really get walked through this? AT&T are dummer than me. ---Thanks to both for your replies. | |

| From what I can see the 2Wires don't do QoS, so you're probably out of luck, unless you replace it (or, conceivably, front-end it with a router that does).
I still suggest rate limiting your file transfers. If it's in fact FTP that you're using, it looks like the FileZilla FTP client can do it...
