Re: Connectivity Issues--Downloading/Internet Radio
said by B  :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. Your explanation is inconsistent with my knowledge of how these things work, and posts by others, including at »Qwest QoS with GT701 Router + VOIP Since the OP's issue is with listening to streaming audio while downloading, it seems that routers with QoS would be ineffective at any cure as all the packets are incoming. |

| But note two things:
The OP's "Internet table radio" is a physically separate device with a separate internal IP address and as such, the router does know which packets are headed for it (since the radio, presumably, initiates the outbound connections and causes an appropriate NAT table entry).
Second, no download is strictly a one-way operation; at the very least, ACK packets are being passed upstream, and as always, it's the upstream limits that tends to screw up consumer applications.
So decent QoS provisions at the router should help... I am more than willing to be corrected though.
