| now if we could get a cheap QOS home router Then we could make sure that our voice calls get the needed bandwidth. |

| Define 'cheap'... I picked up a Netscreen 5 on Ebay for $200. You can define priorities on the rules and traffic. I use this device with my Vonage service and it works really well, whenever I use the Vonage service the Cisco ATA-186 gets priority over everything else flowing through the router/firewall. The Netscreen-5 is 'end of life-cycle' but it still does a great job. If you want to get something a bit more up to date grab a Netscreen 5XT for $600. |

Netscreen IMO the BEST firewall, my site www.thevoipforums.com proudly uses a 5XP.
It's feature set, even on a old 5 is GREAT, also look for the accelerated networks "Internet Companion" it's a re-labled OEM 5. They are unlimited for users and since they don't say "Netscreen" on them go real cheap. They will take the latest Netscreen firmware also!
