senorkasio Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi, I was getting awesome download speeds until I connected my VOIP phone. Now it seems impossible to forward my port and speeds peak at about 50kps total. Anyone find a work around ? Does it help to change QoS settings ? I heard that connecting an internet hub or switch can take care of the problem too...SrK---Router: D-Link DIR-655, firm 1.11ISP: Cable internet (CIA/3Web)Modem: Motorolla Surfboard SB5120Voip: Linksys SPA2102Desktop: AMD X2, 2g RAMUtorrent 1.7.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 How is the VOIP phone connected? Modem > Phone > Computer? If that's the case, you need to forward in it: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/SPA-2102/Utorrent.htmA router in front of it might help, if forwarding doesn't work, try bypassing VoIP router for confirmation. If it still doesn't work, screenshot of the VoIP's WAN and LAN settings areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorkasio Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hey thanks for the advice... I tried forwarding Linksys SPA2102 but it didn't work. Static address is 192.168.0.191. Linksys only allows for 192.168.1.XXX. Configuration is Cable Modem > VOIP > D-Link Router > Computer. If I take the Voip (SAP2102) out of the mix, the port forwards perfectly. It's the voip phone that seems to be messing things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Look for and set bridge mode on the D-Link, then forward in the VoIP router to your computer. If you can't, forward from the VoIP router to the D-Link, then the D-Link to your computer. You'll need to check the D-Links "Internet"/"WAN" IP address.

senorkasio Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 The d-link WAN ip address is 192.168.1.3. Setting up bridge mode and the other stuff you described is a little advanced for me. If you know of any step by step guides that would be really swell...

Firon Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Your VoIP device is a router. It needs to be configured to not act as a router, OR be put behind the D-Link.Or you can set the D-Link into bridge mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would if the damn manual download on the D-Link website worked. Look for connection type and change that to bridge, or try what Firon said (ideally one should be in bridge mode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4flushed Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I had this same problem and figured it out. Basically, the VoIP box is a router, and it is assigning an IP to your LAN router (D-Link, Linksys, etc.). What I had to do was log in to my LAN router (the Linksys, D-Link etc.) and look at the default gateway IP address. That is the IP address of the VoIP router. Then look at the IP address of the router itself, and that is the IP address the VoIP is assigning the LAN router.Then, login to the VoIP router. I did it the same way I login to any other router- type the IP address into a browser, the password screen comes up, I typed in no username and used the typical default password of "admin" and BINGO, I was into the VoIP router.I then went to the area that allowed me to forward ports on the VoIP router (for my VoIP it was under "Applications and Gaming.) I then forwarded all necessary ports to the IP address it had assigned my LAN router (in this case 192.168.29.100). I didn't change anything on my LAN router, just the VoIP router.After I did that, the VoIP router rebooted and after it came online all my uTorrent speeds blasted off again, and I got green network indicators.I hope this helps and that you can follow it. Feel free to email with any other questions.PS - The configuration stayed the same as well: Modem-->VoIP-->LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
