I have recently setup an obi202 with google voice. I wired the obi to my router (Belkin N+ wireless router F5D8235) which is obviously connected to my modem. I have some issues with dropped calls but mostly others complain that they cannot hear me every now and then even though I can usually hear them. What can I do to fix the call quality?
I also am not sure I have my setup done right. I have the obi connected to the phone and router. the router is connected to the modem and pc. the modem is connected to the pc also with usb.
Some questions I have are, would it be much better to hook up the obi directly to my modem? Could switching routers improve my reception, even though I am not connecting through a woreless network? Should I go wireless?
You should go here with your computer and test your services voip quality.

If you get green lights on that test, then there is no reason why the obi should be having issues unless it is related to configuration.

The modem should not be connected to the PC, the router handles the modem connection.

First off thanks for replies.
I unplugged the usb (it was unnecessary). I also tried the port fix suggested by rick. I ran the myspeed.visualware test before and after making changes. Both tests were green for download/upload speed but red for consistency of service (44%). I am not sure how to proceed but this seems to be a source of my problem.
I also ordered a new asus RT N16 modem in hope that it will help when running tomato.
