Which dd-wrt bin file should I use, VOIP or STD?

It's been over 1 month since installing the dd-wrt firmware. I have run flawlessly (not even a single hickup). All of my intermittent issues have completely disappeared.

I am now an official believer in replacing the stock Linksys firmware.

We see this a lot, but some customers don't believe us.

I believe we're at a point where the router someone has is more important than the internet connection 99% of the time.

What kind of intermittent issues were you having before that were solved with the change?

Tim..

I have an ASUS router and since I installed DD-WRT, I don't remember the last time I had to reboot it..and the QOS seems to do a pretty good job.

Tim,

The most frequent issue I experienced were audio disconnects in the middle of a call (usually at least 15 minutes into the call). Most of the time, I could hear the other party. But, they couldn't hear me.

I also had a few 'fast busy' issues when answering a call.

Can anyone share their QOS settings for DD-WRT? I have not been able to make QOS work right. Tomato was very easy but I can't seem to get DD-WRT to work as well.

I have the mini WRT and turned on the QOS...entered the MAC of my ATA in the MAC priority field and set it to premium.
If I get ambitious one day, right now I'm building a new PC, I will set up a routine of experiments with the ethernet fields and whatever else resides in there.

If Tomato was OK, why did you change it?
I was going to up to Tomato to see what happens. Fortunately both my ASUS routers are very sympathetic to allowing me to unbrick when I screw up..

I did the same kind of setup with DD and also tried by IP address, but I found a lot of audio breakups on my 6/768 DSL no matter what I set the upstream and downstream to in the settings.

I still run tomato but I was just trying something different. With tomato I put in my upstream/downstream and put my ATA to the highest QOS setting, and it works. I thought DD-WRT would be the same but I haven't found it is. I can run full speed tests while talking on the phone with zero breakups using Tomato.

I suppose I should just "if it ain't broke" and leave it!

It just bugs me DD isn't working for me is all.

Are you using 1.27...that's the one I was going to try..
