Ooma Telo slowing down my network
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 3:16 pm
Hi All,
I have an Ooma telo, sitting behind my Netgear WNDR3700 router.
When I plug the Ooma into the router, my download/upload speeds go from 6.56MPBS/.73MBS to .95MPBS/.195MBS.
I can place and receive calls with no problem, but on line games slow to a crawl. As soon as I unplug the Ooma, the connection speeds go right back up.
Currently, I have the Ooma with a fixed IP of 10.0.0.100 (in range with my router's DHCP) and I have reserved that address in my router as a fixed IP. The QOS on the Ooma is set to 0 and the Oomas DHCP is set to 10.0.0.200 to 10.0.0.201.
My Netgear router is currently sitting in the DMZ zone of the Actiontech GT704Wg modem/router provided by Verizon (NAT is set to on for both routers). If I connect the PC to the back of the Actiontech router, and leave the Ooma on the Netgear, I get a full speed connection. If I move the Ooma to the back of the actiontech, the connection slows down.
Everything seems to work OK if I put the Ooma in between the Actiontech and the Netgear then let the Ooma do DHCP for the Netgear, but this won't work with the Xbox.
Help, Please!!!
Thanks.
Ed
