Time outs on Cable Modem VoIP drops


purewhitelight

Recommended Posts

Hi and thanks - 

I have high speed cable modem.  I am running Windows XP SP2, I have a Linksys Wireless G Modem, but the main computer is "Hard Wired".  I have fast speeds, as the download stats show, but I have time outs.  Symptom = Those time-outs cause my VioIP (Company = Packet 8)  phone to drop calls. 

The tests below are self titled - you can see that I get time outs - and also HUGE fluctuations in response times and time outs (see below).  The cable company (Time Warner Roadrunner - SoCal - I am in Venice - Los Angeles, CA) has rewired the house and tells me I have a strong signal, even though the "drop outs" occur while still on their network.  (See step # 5 on the tracerouts.)

On the ping tests, the phone company tells me I can expect drop-outs and dropped calls if the fluctuation range is over 30 ms.  You can see that mine is 58ms, not counting the time out.  This is typical.

Can you help me solve this problem?

Here are tests:

I have Vonage VOIP, and had the same issue's for some time. It had to do w/ a bad card in the local node.

In the mean time, check your upload speeds, VOIP depends on both up/down stream redundancy.  There should be settings  in the configuration of your VOIP , either in the router, or on there web based interface to control bandwidth, have you tried this?

If no luck, you could try setting a QOS in your router config, if the router you have ( not listed) allows for it.

I use a separate router for internal traffic , and set the VOIP router on a DMZ with mac filtering to allow for full bandwidth .

I would be looking at my upload speeds for the issue.
