Voip up and running but internet speed drastically reduced

Post by X-Nemesis »

So I got my set up going with my SPA2102 but my cable internet has dropped from it's 24Mb connection to around 5Mb. I tested by simply plugging directly into the modem and then replugging back into the connected SIP connection. How do I trouble shoot this? Is there an option I need to adjust within the Linksys' menu's?

Use a dedicated router that can handle the 24Mb connection. Get rid of the SPA and get a PAP-2T or Grandstream. Or, you can try and just use the SPA's LAN port connection, but I don't know if that's supported on the SPA.
