Ahh Sounds like a challenge for tommorrow. Almost midnight and my eyes are about to fall out. I really appreciate the help and I will let you know how things go tommorrow.

yes

I tried it but came up as page couldn't be found

No it just took me to a google page

haven't seen it come through today, but if you tell me where to look I'll try

both mine are VT2142-vd

# 3 is the computer that is accessed remotely. Currently #4 is a vonage devise Earlier today I had both vonage devises hooked to the wireless with no problem, other than when I was doing the upload test I started cutting out again

one port goes to a linksys switch and the other port goes to a computer connection

All the ports are full on both linksys routers. I just tried hooking the vonage routers together and when I tried to use the phone, whatever vonage device not hooked directly to a linksys, I got a message saying the vonage devise was not hooked to the internet There is a real good possibility that this system may not have been hooked up correctly from the beginning as the IT guy who hooked it up did not appear as the most knowledgable

I didn't realize that you could hook the Voip routers together

No one VOIP router is hooked to the wireless and the other VOIP router is hooked to the BEFSR41. The reason for all the routers is that I need that many ports for hooking up other components

So I believe the internet connection is being carried to the linksys BEFSR41 from port 1 on the wireless to port 1 on the BEFSR41

no it is a linksys BEFSR41 router

ok From the DSL modem, the first modem is a linksys wrt54g wireless 2.4ghz modem. The wire from the DSL modem goes into the internet connection port.

No I'm unclear how to do that

I could take digital picture of the back of the routers if you think that may help

I was looking to change the port the VOIP router connects to, You had suggested changing it to 100mps. Sorry guess I'm still not sure how to change port QOS

when plugging into internet port I lose my connections. Where do you change the settings on the ports. I didn't see it when I was in the router

Do you think there is any way to configure the routers different so the phones get priority? Or if I were to get another DSL connection just for the phones could that potentially solve the problem? Short on options here in Vt

That's fine I should do something other than sit in front of the screen Talk to ya later Randy

Ok From the DSL modem I go into the internet port on the wireless router Port 1 on the wireless goes to port 1 on the 2nd router port 2 on the 2nd router goes to the linksys workswitch port 3 on th e2nd router goes to one of the computers port 4 on the 2nd goes to vonage devise port 2 on the wireless goes to the other vonage port 3&4 goe to other computers and port 1 on switch goes to another computer. The computer that has been manually configure is being used remotely and will be until may and then again next January. Don't know what VPN & FTP is. I was just talking to a friend of mine in an area that I seem to have a lot of trouble and things were really good until I tried to do a speedtest on Mytest.net. When I hit the upload portion of the test is when the phone started to cut out. Very frustrating. Any ideas

Yes that is correct The router I can pull up has the address of 192.168.1.1 In checking the IP address of my computers, 2 of them have addresses of 102 &103 assigne by DHCP. The 3rd computer has an ip addresses of 192.168.120 manually configured. That leaves 101 & 104 unaccounted for, I assume one those is the other router. So back to my original VOIP problem. If I am looking at your diagram correctly. I should hook up the ISP modem to the internet connection and then have a wire go from port 1 on the wireless to port 1 on the other router. I should then hook my VOIP devices to port 2 and port 3 of the other router to get maximum bandwith on those devises. Does that make sense?

Any suggestions how I can pull up the other router then to disable the DCHP. I can't seem to find an ip address that will pull it up. The only one I can pull up is the wireless that is hooked to the modem

I do believe something is not setup correctly. I found the DHCP active IP table and I am showing 5 device on there. The wireless router ends in .100 I believe the next router should be 101 and then the computers are 102,103,&104. When I try to ping 101 and 104 I have 100% packet loss and when I try to trace 101 & 104 the come up as untraceable. This potentiall could be adding to my troubles

I've spent some time this morning on the Linksys website and I'm learning a whole new language. Our conversations are making more sense now. It appears the 1st router is the wireless and I typed that address in my toolbar and was able to see the set up there. I can't seem to find the 2nd router to turn off the DHCP. It is turned on in the 1st router.
