Vonage I'm a new vonage customer, and I just installed D-Link VTA. I have a cable modem
I'm a new Vonage customer, and I just installed D-Link VTA. I have a cable modem (Road Runner), then a D-link wireless router. The Vonage D-link VTA is then connected to the router via ethernet cable, and then I have two PCs that connect via wireless.
Here are the results of my speed test:

The test results look pretty good, but no one else was on the internet at the time. I've made two calls. One with no one on the internet, and the quality was great. The other was with a P2P program uploading some files at the same time. For the second call, I could hear the person I was talking to no problem, but they had some problems hearing me. In their words, at times they were only getting one out of every three words.
With that second call in mind, I'm concerned about Vonage performance when there are others on the internet. Is there any performance tuning I can do, or at least some best practices in regards to network configuration?
Customer service for my wireless router informed me that there is no way to set one device or IP to have a higher priority than another, so that option is apparently out. They did tell me to open the ports listed here: http://www.vonage.com/help_knowledgeBase_article.php?category=45&article=89
Is that impoartant?
In addition, they said this:
Then they went on to detail the steps to do this. Does this sound like something I should do?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Read The Full Thread: Performance tuning with the a router and D-Link VTA
• OK, so I've been playing with my router, and I found that all ports are open for outgoing
• The main issue is QoS. your wireless router apparently does not have that capability
• Mundy, thanks for your response. Yes, my router does not support QoS. :(
What
• port forwarding might help though there are many here who say that they do no special
• I'll add a vote for a Linksys WRT54GL w/ Tomato firmware on it.
I got a Slingbox
• Get a Hawking Broadband Booster
• "opening ports" and port forwarding is NOT a perrformance related item. It's
