PostPosted: Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:47 pm    Post subject: Best Settings For QOS In Tomato V-Portal Behind WRT54GL Reply with quote Back to top

So I just got a new vonage line set up. I have a brand new v-portal and everything works fine. When I first got it, I set it up like the instructions say. Everything seemed to work, however I notice that if you were on a call it would choke the internet down to a megabit. I have a brand new docsis 3 modem from comcast with some pretty nice speeds.



I don't know why the v-portal would throttle the internet that much. So I put my WRT54GL in front of the v-portal. I am running the latest version of tomato all with default settings (except for wireless power being turned up and naming the wi-fi network) Now I can use the phone and it doesn't choke out the internet. I have not noticed any performance issues with the vonage line even when doing some heavy downloading. However I still would like to set up QOS for the vonage adapter anyways just incase there is problems down the road. I guess I don't really know how to use the tomato qos and the best way to set it up for vonage.

Look at this for starters.

http://vonage.nmhoy.net/

Then I would recommend you set QoS by device making the Vonage device first and then all others below it. I do it by MAC address to keep it simple.

Then just assign out how much bandwidth the various devices would have and go from there.

I don't know that there is a best way, as setups really depend on what you do on your network, but hopefully this is a start.

Also if you want general Tomato QoS questions, take a look at the LinksInfo site. They have an entire forum just for Tomato: http://linksysinfo.org

thank you! Do I have to configure anything in the v-portal or can I just leave those as default settings?

You should turn off the DHCP Server on the V-Portal.

That should be all you have to change, but I can't swear to it as I don't have a V-Portal.

The DHCP server is behind the NAT of the V-Portal (and all other devices) so there is no reason to turn it off.

ok got everything all set up and seems to be working good. I set up tomato qos settings and under outbound connections I put in the mac id of the v-portal and set it to highest and moved it to the top of the list and left everything else alone. My question is under the Outbound Rate limit - right now I have it set to 100 megabits. I have a docsis 3 modem with powerboost which actually is really nice to use especially when streaming an hd movie or something you def notice a difference. What should I set the rate limit to? I still wanna be able to take advantage of powerboost but not sure how I can if I set the rate limit. Think I am fine leaving it at basically uncapped? My provisioned speed is 22 megabits and it will powerboost 30+ with 5megabit upload that will powerboost as well.
