I am cutting out to others on my Obi100
newinvestor23:
Hey, I have a few questions about my Obi100.
1. I just got a Obi100 and It has been fine the little I have used it, but often lately, I can hear them perfectly, but my voice is cutting in and out to them they say. Is there anything i can do to tweak this? maybe a setting or codec? I am behind a router (dd-wrt) right now, but I was thinking of getting a switch and putting it before the router to eliminate any issues with the router.I don't think its the router, but I want to get the most out of my Obi100 and this will cause my wife to get rid of it if people cannot hear us.
2. Also, how can I reset my Obi with Cron jobs? what is the command? I did try using (which i found on the forum here)
curl -u admin:ppppppppp --anyauth http://192.168.x.x/rebootgetconfig.htm, but it did not work (If it did work, how often would it reset with this command?). I tried adding the time feature to reset it say every week, but I do not know much about cron jobs and the coding. I have a dd-wrt router which will run cron jobs, so I thought it would be a good idea to reset it every so often. (I think it helps with the cutting in and out too as people have said).
3. Also, a shot in the dark, is there a way, like a script or cron job that will automatically stop programs on my computer when the phone is in use? Like utorrent or a news reader, as these programs use a lot of bandwidth, so stopping them when the phone rings or is being used would help fore sure. Might get lucky and maybe there is a way to do this
thanks

You have a dd-wrt router so the first thing to try is set up Quality of service and give priority to your Obi.

Quality of service should eliminate the need to kill other programs because the Obi will always get the resources it needs first.
I can see what they are trying to do. If I understand it correctly it will perform a "graceful" reset. That means if any calls are going on the Obi will not reset until after the call ends.
admin = the Obi user name you would use to log in to your Obi device locally.
ppppppppp = the Obi password you would use to log in to your Obi device locally.
I don't think you need to change --anyauth but just to be on the safe side use the auth id from one of your service providers.
With cron you could set it up to reboot as often as you like. I would just set it to do it at night when no one really calls you.
Check here for more info about cron. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/CRON
You will have to make sure your router can perform a curl request. It might require additional software.

The "cutting out" sounds like your upload bandwidth (from you to the 'net) is being fully utilized. Setting up the QOS should mitigate that by reserving some bandwidth for the phone.
The curl command reboots the OBi. Once. When it is issued. (Probably gracefully as giqcass stated.)
Cron runs a command at the specified time. The command you want to run is curl.
Your router can do cron, but I do not know if it has 'curl'.
My router does have curl, and cron, so the daily reboot works for me:
Code:
4 4 * * * curl --digest -u "$ADMIN:$PASSW" http://$OBI/rebootgetconfig.htm
(at 4:04am, with the $XXXX changed to the proper values, of course)

I set up the QOS service for the OBI, and I put the STUN server on, I have only tried it a few times, but it seems better. I am going to add other things to the QOS (like p2p and surfing) keeping the obi100 at the top of QOS. I cannot get the cron job to work, but I will fool around with it some more. thanks for the help.

I have recently started to experience same problem with an 110 Obi device.
The strange thing is that I also have a 202 device in the same home network that doesn't
exhibit this behavior.
The symptoms in my case is that the calls start off good, but after about 2 min, the other
end reports very choppy voice or periods that voice is cut off.
in my case the following are checked:
1. uplink bw is about 4Mbps
2. router is configured to give strict priority to the obi traffic
3. STUN is configured (ICE and symmetric port are also configured)
4. Ethernet port is full duplex
5. Problem doesn't clear with a reboot or power cycle
The strange thing is that this started happening in the past 2 weeks only even though the specific
obi is in use for about 2years.
So it's either a HW failure or I need to subject the obi through a factory reset (something that I dread
because I never managed to successful reload an obi with the backup up configuration files and it
will always come back up in a corrupted state). In the
past i have seen an Obi going "nuts" but recover fully after a full reset.
