Set up QOS on Dlink

Post by dm1a »

Hi there, my Dlink DIR-625 has a QOS engine, but I have no idea where to start to prioritize my VOIP.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...the ip of the Grandstream is 192.168.0.198, I don't know which ports to specify or ip range etc.

Thanks in advance

Here is a decent tutorial on QOS http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?th ... ion.28349/ I found QOS more trouble than it is worth. Fix the root of the problem and limit your torrents to 50 connections, and 2 upload slots, and your QOS problems will go away. Your torrents will likely be faster also.

Oh, and upgrade your dlink's firmware to the latest and greatest, the current firmware is absolutely horrid when it comes to SIP VOIP.
