Under QoS settings.
Actually, if you didn't adjust that manually, it could simply be that the "AUTO" setting (which does not work well at all) simply calculated a number that was way too low.
If you haven't read it yet, this is worth reviewing: http://vonage.nmhoy.net/qos.html
To set the upstream number correctly:
1. Turn off QoS and on a quiet Internet connection run a few speed tests.
2. Turn on QoS and set the "upload speed" setting from AUTO to MANUAL.
3. Take the average or lowest (your choice) number you get for the UPLOAD speed and enter 90% of it into the "Upload Speed" field.
Then do some testing. Upload a large file to an FTP server or something while calling someone. If they report bad audio, hang up, adjust the number down a bit, wait 5 minutes for the QoS engine to settle on the new setting, and call again.
If the other end reports complete drops, then you might want to adjust the number by 10-20kbps at a time. If they report "robotic", tinny, or "toilet bowl" (echoey) audio, try dropping the number by 5kbps at a time.
EXAMPLE:
My ISP-claimed upstream is 256k. In testing, I found I was getting about 220k, plus or minus about 10k. Automatic QoS was calculating 2,070k, which was over ten times what it should be, rendering QoS useless.
I set my QoS to 210k, and started testing, reducing the number by 5k each time. When I got to about 190k, the person I was testing with was astonished. They said my voice sounded better than many land line conversations. It's been a year since I've needed to adjust QoS settings, and I never get any complaints about voice quality.

The QoS on your WRT54G should work great,
