Just wondering if a) this makes sense, and b) if it worked for anyone...
I've been having choppy calls since I started - the audio from either my side or theirs cuts out for a few seconds. It seems to be due to my router (D-Link DI-624) rebooting (all the lights go blank and then reset themselves; my sound is gone while that's happening).
Vonage tech guy says to try a different router (I'm thinking of a Linksys WRT54G, but open to suggestions). Has anyone with this problem had it solved by using a different router?
I'd love to hear before schlepping out to BestBuy (again) and dealing with a whole new setup. If this doesn't work, it's bye to Vonage...
My setup: SB5100 - DI-624 - PAP2, on Comcast with an iMacG5. Download 4,011,688 bps Upload 355,288 bps QOS 92%; RTT 72 ms; MaxPause 144 ms
All your numbers look fine. So Since the router cuts out, it might help. Linksys is good. And there are others. look for the deals and the rebates too. I would start there. And if it can be helped avoid best buy. Shop on the net or try a different local store.
I cant give opinion on D-link since I have no experience with it
Okay all, I was hoping for some feedback from people who'd switched routers (hypothetically I know it could work), but thanks to you who wrote me anyhow.
I just returned my D-Link and got a linksys (WRT54G); it appears to be solid so far - and soon I have a two-hour conference call that will be the test of tests.
Here's the thing: it was the router. After hooking up the WRT54G, it has been solid ever since. No problems with Vonage whatsoever. All my calls have been clear and clean.
So here's what I started with: Comcast :: Toshiba pcx1100 :: D-Link DI-624 :: PAP2 and now, Comcast :: Motorola SB5100 :: Linksys WRT54G :: PAP2
