Obi202 and Ooma on the same network

(1/3) > >>

MParente:
I recently acquired an Obi202. I had an Ooma already. Since I put the Obi202 on the network the Ooma doesn't sound as good as it did without the Obi202. When I first plugged in the Obi202 the voice quality was even better than the Ooma. Now I notice after a week and a half that it stutters from time to time.

Obvious question for me are these devices clashing with each other?

I have a Linksys 4200 dual band router running the Tomato RAF firmware. Both the Ooma and Obi202 have give themselves priority with the internet connection. I am thinking that when 2 devices are doing the same thing you will have a bit of a war going on. At this point it is just a theory.

Has anybody else have these 2 devices setup on the same network? If so have you noticed any of the above symptoms going on that I mentioned?

Thank you in advance for any and all answers.

I have an Ooma and Obi110. They have always worked flawlessly. Make sure the Qos settings in your router are turned off.

I originally had this setup working on DSL (3Mb) without a problem. If your bandwidth is greater then this, then bandwidth shouldn't be an issue.

It's fine to use multiple VoIP devices on a single LAN (big companies do this all the time).  Sporadic audio quality is most often (but not always) due to excessive bandwidth consumption by some other device.  You can test this by disconnecting all computers from your router and disabling wireless.  Now, make a test call.  If the symptoms do not occur, the problem can be solved by turning QoS on (and correctly configuring it).

Let us know the results of this test and we'll go from there.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I do have the QOS set.

I'll have to make the adjustment and turn them off.

Thanks again.

Ok, I tried sailing's suggestion and turned off the quality of service.

I made a call to my wife and gauged it and it seemed to be good. We kept talking and all of a sudden the Obi202 line started distorting again. It did not solve the problem. I did save the configuration and it supposed take new settings live right away. Incidently my bandwidth is 17Mb/S down and half Mb/S up.

I may have to give a try to Mango's suggestion. My time is limited right now however and I am wondering if I can skip a part of the procedure and ask if there is a preferred QOS configuration that gives proper priority to VOIP?

Thanks sailing and Mango.
