Audio cuts out - Obi202
Bluegrill:
Thank you very much. You have given me some great ideas to fool around with. I will try all of this tomorrow when my wife is not here asking me why I have the phones turned off yet AGAIN. I'll be in touch. Thanks for the help.

you are telling me that my wife is not the exception in having zero tolerance to unscheduled
phone outages ;)

Some results to report. I have tried running speedtest while simultaneously accessing other websites (Amazon, ebay, etc.) Very little reduction in speed test. Today I'm getting about 20 Mbps download and 15Mbps up. Speed drops about 10% with simultaneous surfing but no phone call.
Tried QOS on the Obi again with no change seen enabled or disabled. Still getting that same extreme bandwidth drop with a call in progress. Audio cutouts are worse on the Obi end of the call whether it is an incoming or outgoing call. The other end of the call hears only a little "clicking" noise.
I do not seem to have a router where I can set bandwidth limits on individual ports as you suggested. One router I have allows setting an overall upload limit, but I don't thinks that will accomplish isolating the Obi.
I am agreeing with you that it points to the MiFi trying to do something but I do not see anything in the MiFi settings to disable this behaviour.
After more reading and thinking I have come up with another idea. I have ordered the Obi WiFi adapter from Amazon. It will be here Wednesday (got to love Amazon Prime). If I understand the device, I should be able to connect to the MiFi hotspot via the Obi WiFi leaving the Obi202 completely disconnected rom any router. Apparently other people have done this. I will report.

By the way, I seem to have inadvertently created 2 different user names, rickscats and Bluegrill. I didn't mean to do that. Sorry if it causes confusion on the forum.

The only thing I cannot try is connecting the MiFi adaptor directly to the Obi202. The MiFi is a Novatel/Verizon 4620LE which only connects via WiFi directly to a router configured to use WiFi as WAN.
Having a router using WiFi as its WAN connection is new to me. I guess you are saying that the Netgear WMDR3300 has a setting for that. What do they call that setting; I would like to read more about that. I presume that the unique SSID for the MiFi is only used by the router to access the WAN and is not being used by any other device. It seems worth checking for that on each device to make sure that each are using the LAN SSID and not the MiFi SSID.
