On my personal computer at my residence, I recently installed a VOIP phone
and wireless router between the DSL modem and XP desktop. The connections
are as follows:
DSL router (128 kbps) > VOIP phone > wireless router > PC
With these connections, my internet connection slows down even when the VOIP
phone is not being used. I am unable to download my mails of 10-20 kb.

When I remove the VOIP phone and the wireless router, the connection is very
good:
DSL router (128 kbps) > PC
I shall appreciate if some one can provide a work around to correct this
issue.

Thanking you in advance.

If you just remove the phone but keep the wireless router in the stream,
do you still have problems?
DSL router (128 kbps) > wireless router > PC

That will tell you if it's the phone or router that is the issue.

With the phone in use, I would expect significant slow downs for the PC
connection.

Michael,

Thanks for your advice. Why did I not do this initially? I shall give it a
try. I agree with you that the phone takes up the resources but,
unfortunately, when the phone is not being used, the internet slows down
tremendously that I cannot even download my mails in the OE.

I shall give it a try during the weekend and revert back.

Thanks for the advice.

Check with your VoIP people. The VoIP connection we have treats the VoIP
modem as another computer.

I'd try:


DSL-line > wired router

Then wired-router to both the wireless router and the VoIP modem

Thanks for your post. I am also suspecting that the VOIP phone is being
treated as a different computer. I shall try on Sunday and report back to
you as reported in my earlier reply to Michael.

Hi HeyBub,

I tried a variation of your solution and to be honest, I don't know
why it works, but it works PERFECTLY. let me tell you my setup and
what I did.

I have a ClearWire 512Kb service. ClearWire says I should set it up
as follows;

ClearWire mode > ClearWire VoIP > Wireless router

With this setup, I get a transfer rate of about 100Kb whether the
phone is in use or not.

What I did based on your suggestion is;

| > VoIP modem
ClearWire modem > Hub /w Uplink > |
| > Wireless router

With this setup, I am consistently getting a 384Kb connection speed
with 2 bars on the ClearWire modem. When I have 3 or more bars on
the ClearWire modem I am getting 450Kb. The VoIP sounds actually
better than when I had it coming straight from the ClearWire modem.

Like I said, I have no idea why this works so well. I got my CNE 20
years ago so my memory is probably just faulty, but I'm not going to
complain. If anyone knows why this works so well, I would really
like to know.

Ciao . . . C.Joseph

Sorry for not posting earlier as I had a busy weekend. I have not been able
to take any action over the weekend. Shall revert back if there is a
problem.

Hi HeyBub,

Just wanted to let you know why at least in the case of ClearWire
that it works.

ClearWire will allow you to have up to 3 IPs off of the modem
simultaneously. By going to the hub /w uplink first, ClearWire
actually assigns separate IPs to the VoIP and my router.

I don't know if other ISPs that offer VoIP do the same, but it is
definitely something to check into with your ISP about.
