1) How do i reset MAC address to use built-in ? and, what does this actually mean?
2) What settings should i be using for Quality of Service Upstream/Downstream ? (My speed test results are: UP 5.24mbps / DOWN 0.67mbps)
Thank you
Something is wrong with these results: "My speed test results are: UP 5.24mbps / DOWN 0.67mbps". Were the tags switched for Up and Down speeds? Always the download speeds are higher then the Upload speeds. If the readings are as posted here, this may be the source of your One Way Conversation problems.
Do the following test to provide more information.
Run

Setting MAC address In My Ooma:
To help stabilize your Ooma Internet connection turn off MAC address Spoofing, which can cause dropped calls, garbled voice, and other problems, by doing the following:
If your Ooma device is connected Modem-Ooma-Router, access your Ooma Setup pages by typing
http://172.27.35.1 in your computer browser window. The Ooma Setup pages open. Click on Internet, go down to INTERNET Port MAC Address: and change setting from Automatic to Use Built In. Click on Update device. Remove power from your Modem and the Ooma Device. Repower the Modem. When the Modem is done booting repower your Ooma device.
If your connection is Modem-Router-Ooma or Modem/router-Ooma, temporarily connect a network cable from your Ooma device home port, to the wired LAN port of a computer. Temporarily turn off Wi-Fi in the computer, if turned on. Reboot the computer. Access your Ooma Setup pages by typing
http://172.27.35.1 in your computer browser window. The Ooma Setup pages open. Click on Internet, go down to INTERNET Port MAC Address: and change setting from Automatic to Use Built In. Click on Update device. Remove power from your Modem (or Modem/Router), your Router (skip to Ooma Device if have Modem/Router) and Ooma Device. Repower the Modem (or Modem/Router). When the Modem is done booting repower your Router (skip to Ooma Device if have Modem/Router). When the Router is done booting, repower your Ooma device.
Quality of Service settings:
For a Modem-Ooma-Router connection.
Access the Ooma Setup by typing
http://172.27.35.1 in your computer browser window. Click on the Advanced tab. Under Quality of Service set both the Upstream Internet speed and Down Stream Internet speed to 80% of the measured Upload and Down load speeds as measured by
http://www.phonepower.com/speedtest. After running Phonepower Speedtest, click on the Advanced tab at lower left side of Phonepower test results window. Take the Download Speed and the Upload speed, and multiply .8 times for each number. The resulting numbers are the numbers that you enter into Ooma Setup, Advanced page under Quality of Service Upstream Internet Speed (kbps): and Downstream Internet Speed (kbps): boxes. Click on Update. Then test making and receiving calls.
For A Modem-Router-Ooma connection.
Set Ooma Setup Quality of Service Settings, both to Zero. For this connection, if the router has QoS settings or can set VoIP priority for a device, then give the Ooma Telo top priority in the Router.
