Yes, I'm using DD-WRT and the switch is part of the router.
I wanted to configure QOS because this is both my and my wife's work phone and there is a lot of stuff happening on the network. I write Wifi software for a living so the networking in the house is, let us say, complicated. There are lots of ways to configure the QOS in the DD-WRT, but using the mac address seemed like the most straightforward. Best would be if the PAP2 was setting DSCP properly and the DD-WRT allowed you to configure that. Bitorrent is also set up a Bulk. I prefer the classes used by 802.11, Voice, Video, Best Effort and Background. I do need to get a UPS or two.

I have not, and also have a Linksys PAP2 from Viatalk connected to my Linksys NAT-router -- although I have never seemed to need to fuss with QoS. I also do not have any LAN bridge or other switch, as you do. Is your switch a separate device, or are you referring to a multi-port router? If standalone, is it a smart switch or a dummy, or actually a hub? On the asterisk wiki there is some documentation about configuring Viatalk, which may be helpful if you haven't seen it, and I think Viatalk has decent support pages too (although I haven't needed them, admittedly). Oh, you're using DD-WRT instead of the Linksys firmware? If that is the case, then my comparison might not be very helpful... fwiw, I put my cable modem, router, pap2, and phone all on a UPS and can confirm that I still have voip service during power outages, which was my goal. Next would be finding a suitable fail-over uplink. :) Question though: can't you simply configure the QoS to favor your sip/voip traffic rather than the originating address? That way, if you chose to run a soft-phone client you'd still achieve desirable service quality? Related question: did you setup QoS b/c of bad call quality, or just b/c you could, or in expectation of silly asymetic uplinks grinding things to a halt, or something else? ~ben On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 12:08 PM, Bob Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have a couple of these. One is the main router, the other configured as a bridge to connect my office to the router and cable. At the router I also have a Linksys PAP2 (connected to the switch with an Ethernet cable) which is the IAD for a ViaTalk voip line. I set up QOS to favor the PAP2 using it's mac address, but I also assign a fixed IP address to the PAP2 in DHCP. Here's where the problem comes in. Whenever I restart the router for any reason, the PAP2 gets disoriented. It won't work correctly until I assign a different IP address and reboot the router again. It has something to do with the PAP2 reregistering with its SIP server. Has anybody seen this problem? I could track it down, but it would take a long time and lot of equipment shuffling. The DD_WRT sites don't seem to have any info on this.
