![]() Hi all, Please can someone advise me on the above? I think I have the terminology correct, apologies if not. Essentially I want a cable router with QoS and to be able to plug a standard phone in which will receive calls on one service (Sipgate) but make outgoing calls on another (voipcheap). I don't care about wireless or the number of ethernet ports - I have lots of other equipment to take care of those needs. TIA Jon |

For upstream only QoS, then SPA-2102 Also consider: AVM 5124 Tim |

TIA Jon I'm sure there's something in the Fritz!box range that will suit your requirements. perhaps this one? http://www.provoip.co.uk/product_inf...roducts_id=146 The QoS on the Fritzbox 7140, that I have, is very effective. I use one just as a router. I prefer the SPA-3000 (now replaced by the SPA-3102) as an ATA. Recently I have tested out QoS on a couple of boxes. The SPA-3102 is a good, very configurable, ATA. However, the QoS is total rubbish, in fact I don't think it does anything at all! Of course that only applies if you are using it as a router. As an ATA it is just fine. I also tried a new Netgear Wireless N Router, the model number escapes me. It stated on the box that it would provide QoS for voip calls. I have little doubt that it would have worked on gaming etc. but it was useless for voip (SPA-3102 attached). They can't have even tried it out. It didn't matter how I configured it, by port, MAC address or otherwise, it was crap. If I set the computer to do a download and then tried a telephone conversation the audio would cut at regular intervals as though the QoS was time shared. It seemed that it just divided the time up as to when a particular application/hardware was given full service. That scenario is obviously useless for voip. This test was on 1Mb/s ADSL line (Telstra - how unfortunate the Australians are having Telstra broadband. It is way overpriced and poor quality IMO) I have mentioned the above just to indicate how QoS is not always as good as some manufacturers state. I don't know if the ordinary Fritzbox routers have QoS ( I just haven't checked them out) but if they have, and it is as good as the 7140, that I have, then I'd go for a Fritzbox router and an SPA-3102. OK, the SPA-3102 is, perhaps, a little harder to set up than the voip telephone part of the Fritzbox but it is much more configurable. Usually with cable you get a modem with an Ethernet output so you can plug your Fritzbox into that. If it is an ADSL modem/router then you would bypass the internal ADSL modem and connect your cable modem to the first Ethernet socket. |

TIA Jon I use the SPA-3102 as VoIP gateway (at the moment the router functionality is barely used). Last weekend I managed (finally) to set it up to use a different provider for incoming and outgoing calls. The only requirement is that the provider used for outgoing calls doesn't require registration/authentication (VoipCheap doesn't require it ![]() The SPA-3102 also allows a quite intuitive dial plan that can be extended in that way you can choose what provider to use for calling. At the moment I've set up the same outgoing provider twice but with a different CallerID so I can choose what number appears on the destination phone: my fixed line or my mobile. Sinna |

Sinna Thank you all who replied - SPA-3102 ordered. Erm, I take it you didn't see BrianA's post "The SPA-3102 is a good, very configurable, ATA. However, the QoS is total rubbish" I'm sure it will also struggle with Cable connections greater than ~2Mb. I bet you wouldn't get the full throughput of 10Mb, let alone 20Mb or moore. |

Sorry - I should have added to this - I found an old Zyxel router I had which has QoS. I only stopped using it because I purchased a wifi router but now I have configured that to be an AP. I'll see how it goes. |

I'll check it out once I have my new network setup (getting wired again). Now my connection speed is 2Mbit at max so I don't think I'll be running into this limitation. On my new network 6Mbit should be possible. Sinna |

TIA Jon Hi, try with "http://www.mikrotik.com/routers.php" model "(R3) Firewall/Traffic Control unit Standard" That's only router but have QoS options and many more. -- Jarek |
