We've had a lot of success with Thompson Speedtouch 780 routers,
which have built in adsl modems, and two ATAs. They don't seem to use
QoS in the strictest sense, but do a very good job of prioritising
the traffic from their own ATAs. If you're happy to stick with
analogue hansets instead of the SIP hardphones, they provide an
excellent protection to upload bandwidth. They also seem to do some
early dropping on incoming traffic to persuade the ISP's routers to
slow down downloads once a call has been going for a bit, hence they
can limit downloads as well.

Hi,
I'm looking for opinions on the "best value" router to use for home
offices. It should work for a scenario in which there are 3
computers and 2 SIP phones, handling QoS so that the phones always
have higher priority traffic than the PCs. (and not rely on the
phones to do the QoS because some PCs may not be connected to the
phones).
QoS could be based on destination and source IP (i.e. an Asterisk
server) or MAC address of the phones. Ideally with PoE, but at this
point it's just a bonus.
What are people on this list using? I've found that the mention
QoS on a box doesn't guarantee any real QoS functionality.
