I took a quick look at the Netgear 824 manual. And it does not have any QOS. If VOIP packets are competing with any other traffic from your network, there will be quality issues.

Yes, I was aware of the lack of qos. That was one reason I wanted to get hub on it and see what is happening.

By the way, do we know what a "good" router with qos is? I see the DL link 655 seems highly rated. It has "automated qos". I have no idea what that means. I would prefer a simple port priority scheme to give priority to the PAP2 media streams and the PAP2 sip signaling. Perhaps UDP priority would be enough.
