I've just set up an OBI200 to use Google Voice. It's connected via ethernet cable to the base unit of my Netgear Orbio router.
When I talk to people I hear them with very high quality. However they report that my voice is sometimes ok but sometimes "choppy", as if being broken up slightly.
Measured Internet speed is 223 down and 12 up, on a Comcast/Xfinity connection. There are about 20 devices connected to the router directly or by wifi, most of them dormant or doing very small tasks like lighting and thermostat control. The only real potential resource hogs are video streamers (Apple TV and Roku) but they were not active during my test calls.
The Orbio router is one of the new "mesh" types, consisting of a base station and a satellite to provide good wifi coverage over a large house. But, as I said, the OBI200 is plugged directly into the base and not using wifi.
This router does not have QoS controls that can prioritize a device. They claim to do "automatic QoS", but I don't really know what they mean by that - presumably they try to detect the type of traffic somehow.
So, finally, my question: Is there anything I can do to eliminate this perceived choppiness?
