OK....more details....sorry if this gets a little long.
I have the RT31P2 (Vonage Box) and a WRT54G Wireless Linksys router.
The bottom line is that it seems that whenever I have the RT31P2 NOT directly connected to the internet--I have a HUGE echo on calls, in fact, even with the RT31P2 directly connected to the internet--there is still an ooccasional echo.
What I wanted to do was to put the WRT54G connect to the internet and let that do the QoS for the Vonage calls--but, the RT31P2 kept rebooting while i was making a test phone call 3 or 4 minutes into it.
Since that wasn't working, I wanted to put the Vonage box connected to the internet, it doesn't reboot anymore, but there is still an occasional echo. I have the bandwidth setting on the Vonage website to 50 kbps, hoping that would stop it--no good.
Not sure of your settings on the wrt54g but there have been a few posts about this problem and the recommendations always seem to be the same ---port forwarding of the following ports: * 5060 through 5063 using UDP protocol * 123 using UDP protocol * 69 using UDP protocol * 53 using UDP protocol * 10,000 through 20,000 using UDP protocol
here is a link to one of those discussions http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic7440.html there was also something about tech support having to make some tweaks and switch them to the second phone port, either way hope this helps. -Bob
I tried this configuration and it seems to work great as far as ensuring good voice quality. I did notice on a speed test that the returned speed was significantly less that what it was before making these changes.
Is this a normal side effect of using QoS, or is there something that I need to change?

You may be able to tweak the upload and download values to help things a bit, but in my experience the speed test results will be slower with QoS enabled. It's just the nature of the beast, I guess...
I've tried all of the port forwarding suggestions on other pages , I still cant get above 5-8kb/s on dl from torrents. I use BitTornado and before the RTP300 Voip router I was getting 80-200kb/s....
Is there any other way besides these non working port forwardings I have been trying ?
