| Improving sound quality (Vonage / Linksys Router)
I have two computers and a Vonage device hooked up to a Linksys BEFSR41 V3 wired router.
I do a lot of UL and DL, but when I do, sometimes Vonage sound quality suffers (we can hear them fine, but we sound garbled to them). I have to pause the UL/DL in this case, which sometimes takes up to 20 seconds before it improves the quality.
I was recommended to come here to find out what could be done. I was hoping there was a way to configure the router so that the port the Vonage adapter is hooked up to could have first priority at all times, and therefore when a phone is being used, the computers would have to share the remaining bandwidth. I have checked my configuration screen (Firmware Version: 1.04.17) but there is nothing about QoS.
Thanks in advance. |

USA | The best way to resolve is to get a router with QOS. If you search this forum you should find a few. Linksys wrt54g v4 and down are probably highly recommended. Xycell(?), Trendnet(?), and Dlink all have some models that can handle QOS. |

That model from linksys is very old and there have been problems with it. I'd get the wrt54gl, as another person has recommended.
