The 23 Mbit/s down rate is probably high enough that you won't have any problems when downloading files or streaming video.  However, the 1.5 Mbit/s is not that high if you have uploads running such as backup to a cloud server or Bit Torrent sharing.  (But BT clients can usually be configured to limit the upload rate.)

Yes, you can configure a 202 to direct incoming calls to both of its phone ports.  However, the 200 (or any OBi) is perfectly capable of driving several phones connected to one phone port.  You just need an ordinary socket doubler to plug both your phone and DirecTV box into the 200.


Thank you so much.  I was thinking of returning the 200 and getting the 202 so I could plug both the phone and the Directv box into the Obi.  So there shouldn't be any degradation to the phone by using a socket doubler,right? 

I don't do much uploading to the cloud, but sometimes do use BT, but I"ll just configure the upload rate as you say. 

The only other concern would be whether or not I need QoS.  I guess if I do, I could always hook up my Netgear R6300 router to my Uverse router using IP passthrough, although it sounds a bit complicated to get it to work from what I've read.  Now if I did get the 202 and want to implement QoS, I'd have to use the 202 as a router or connect it to my Uverse router?
