So what box are you using? The Vonage supplied box? Is it installed
between the modem and router or after the router? According to the Vonage
docs the only way it will do QOS adjustments is if it is installed between
the modem and router or computer. I am still not clear on how it would
work in this way. I DHCP via MAC address to a static IP. I do not have use
PPOE. I run a Linux server on the LAN side of my BEFSR41. In questioning
Vonage I don't really get good answers. That is why this Linksys box
seemed inviting. It gives you maximum control over things while still
having the QOS and other Vonage features.
Perhaps I could call you sometime on your Vonage number and see how it
sounds. When I decide I will use you as my referer.
