Breaking Up

Post by March14 »

Hello. Over past month, the person on the other end of the phone frequently complains about my voice breaking up. I hear the person perfectly fine though.

I have Rogers Lite and my router is D-Link WBR-1310

Any help is appreciated. My wife is getting annoyed!

Hi there,

Please follow the steps below to get your line up and running:

1. reset device to factory defaults asap
2. Upgrade your firmware:

3. remove spa112 from DMZ
4. Reconfigure device using the attached document as a reference
5. Ensure that the required ports are fwded in your router

-UDP-5060- 5080
-UDP- 16384-16482

6. On your wireless router, please ensure that:
a) UPNP is enabled
b)SIP ALG is disabled

Please let me know if there are any issues after performing this suggestion.

Thanks,

Hello, according to the Rogers website, Lite is 256kbs up bandwidth. This is your problem. If you upgrade to a plan with 1mb upload your problem will disappear. I use to have .5 and this happened occasionally, I can just imagine how bad it would be with 256.

Having a similar problem - issue sometimes the other party cannot hear us, sometimes we cannot hear the other party, cracking up line in conversation, sometime line goes dead - (silent) midway through calls. Parents use the internet for browsing, downloads is minimal, just youtube or streaming media below 50gb/month
- any help would be much appreciated !!!

Settings as of Jul 9, 2015:

Rogers Basic (through 3rd party start comm) - 6mb download, .5 upload?
speedtest.net: average: ~5.5-5.94 download, upload .23 - .25
Firmware Name: dpc3825-v302r125572-131113a-ROG.bin
Firmware Build Time: Nov 13 15:51:58 2013 (Anyone have a higher version?)

Modem/Router: DPC 3825 - purchased from online, MFG Warranty is usually 1 year?
---Cisco says talk to ISP, ISP says talk to vendor, vendor says talk to Cisco

splitter from cable into home - 3.5b internet, 7db - tv1, 7db - tv2

Rogers now as 3 channels instead of 4 - one with ZERO

Power Level: Signal to Noise Ratio:
Channel 1: -6.7 dBmV 35.6 dB
Channel 2: -6.1 dBmV 35.1 dB
Channel 3: -6.6 dBmV 33.9 dB
Channel 4: -7.1 dBmV 35.8 dB
Channel 5: -7.3 dBmV 35.9 dB
Channel 6: -7.2 dBmV 35.6 dB
Channel 7: -7.9 dBmV 35.3 dB
Channel 8: -8.3 dBmV 35.1 dB

Power Level:
Channel 1: 51.0 dBmV
Channel 2: 50.9 dBmV
Channel 3: 50.9 dBmV
Channel 4: 0.0 dBmV

VOIP adapter: Grandstream: HT 286
firmware: HT287 Rev4.1 ???
local SIP port: 5060 (default 5060)
local RTP port: 5004 (1024-65535, default 5004)

1) Has Rogers manipulated the line to get a low/bad signal?
2) Is the DPC 3825 the issue? (firmware or physical)
3) Is the HT Grandstream 286 modem the problem? (firmware or physical) upgrade / switch to something else?
4) Need to upgrade to higher service ? - (if all else fails)
