Vonage On thing you need to keep in the back of your mind is that you are on a wireless connection
On thing you need to keep in the back of your mind is that you are on a wireless connection between your LAN and your ISP's wireless receiver.
With that said, a simple ping test may not prove useful since your only sending a single ICMP packet out every second. You are also probably using the default packet size of 32 bytes.
With any real time application, especially with UDP protocol, the packets could anywhere from 6 times as large or more plus there are many packets sent per second. A simple ICMP ping cannot reproduce the same result as a 50 UDP packet per second RTP stream. You could be dropping numerous packets each second. This could be happening between the 2 wireless endpoints or on your providers network. I would say it's the wireless connectivity since your also dropping other applications.
Where are these pings being run to? What is the max RTT? Have you run Pings and traceroutes to the media servers or application servers that Windows Messenger connects with? How about do the same to Vonage's media servers? You always have to test to the actual endpoint servers the application that gives you a problem is using. BGP Routes could be very different to these then to things that work well.
Do you have a wireless antenna on your roof? Make sure it is in the best possible location. Do you also have a modem like adapter that connects to the wireless antenna that can tell you your signal level to your ISP? Some wireless ISP's do have this and the connection must maintain at least an 80% signal ratio or better for Vonage to even work halfway decent.
