I was planning on using the router I already have (Linksys WRT54G) plus the PAP2 telephone adapter. Would the WRT54G support the "QoS prioritization" you were talking about? What would be a good website where I can read about QoS prioritization and how to implement it?
Thanks, Anish

have a look at this post i put up. I am running Voip in duabi on a 256k/65k connection at regular voice quality but it works and saves me tons of money!

I have high speed cable internet, but sadly I frequently experience limited upload speeds, which is bad news for my phone.
I hunted down a codec for my RT31P2 that uses less bandwidth when sending audio out. Call Vonage teck support - they should be able to walk you through it, and download it to your router for you. It really helped my phone consistency. FYI, my upload speed is advertised as 512 kbps, but it's rarely over 200, and the lowest it goes - which happens a lot - is under 10 kbps! When that happens, my phone won't work, but if I wait for traffic to reduce, it gets better.
Anyways, my point was that with the new codec (was g.726, now g.729), I can use the phone with less problems.

A little while ago, I made a similar post on the same subject. Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to post an update to let everyone know how my service is working.
I live in Toronto and signed up for Rogers Ultra-Lite high speed service. I was worried about the upload speeds and the capabilities to have a conversation with only 64 kbps. I decided to chance it and order Vonage.
Aside from a minor problem with the set up involving an old firmware version on my RTP 300, I played around with the dashboard settings until I got it to work properly.
At first, with the dashboard speed setting at 90kbps, the phone didn't work too well, my voice sounded choppy. I reduced the speed setting to the minimum, I think 30 kbps, and people on the other end heard an echo. After a week, I changed the setting to 50kbps (the middle setting) and it works great.
If you plan to use Vonage with either the Ultra-Lite or Ultra, you will have to recognize the capabilities of your service. I cannot use the Internet while speaking on the phone. If I'm on the Internet and the phone rings, I hit stop on all pages downloading. As well, every once in a while, if I have my Outlook open, the phone may act up if my computer checks E-mail automatically.
Hope this helps,
J
