Problem w/Obi 100 & DD-WRT router
gb77:
if you keep dd-wrt, try turning off the qos and see if that improves it. known problems with qos in dd-wrt.
RonR:
QoS in residential routers usually proves to be worthless and more of a problem than a benefit. The transfer rate limiting being imposed from the ISP's side makes it virtually impossible to do any meaningful control from the user's side.
Also, QoS should only come into play if the OBi was contending for bandwidth with other Internet activity on your LAN (heavy downloading/uploading going on at the same time as your OBi audio problems).
It's been many years since I last tried DD-WRT. At that time, I had 5 PAP2's running concurrently and experienced a multitude of audio problems, even with explicit port forwarding in place to each of them. Switching to Tomato cured all the problems and I haven't looked back.

Tried Tomato, no difference still choppy performance on the Obi. Even tried a second DSL/Modem that I had. A Actiontec which I again put into bridged mode and hooked up the DD-WRT router, still the exact same issues.
rfgenerator:
Okay, here is the plan going forward. I've now installed a VOIP specific build of DD-WRT. I'm a newbie at this but it appears it includes a Milkfish SIP proxy server and that I would then plug the IP address of the DD-WRT router into the configuration of the Obi. http://wiki.milkfish.org.sipwerk.com/index.php?n=Milkfish-dd.RouterConfiguration
I'll test it tonight and see if it improves the situation. I'll post again after I see what results I get. If anyone sees any problem with this, feel free to let me know, it's kind of a learn as I go situation.

rfgenerator,
Hi Milkfish is supposed to resolve Nat and firewall issues. I would be interested in knowing if it solves your problem.
