Ooma taking all the bandwidth!

I have the top tier RoadRunner service. My router is the TrendNet TEW-633GR. My Ooma hub is between the cable modem and router.
Here is my benchmark when not in a call...

Ouch! I don't remember this always being the case. BTW, my download speed is typically closer to 30Mbps. Scored low today. Not sure why.
What gives? I thought the CODEC sipped bandwidth.

Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
What QoS settings in the hub do you have?

Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
Good question. I don't know. I would think the default. How can I sign in? Remember, it's between the modem and router, not behind the router.Groundhound wrote:What QoS settings in the hub do you have?
Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
... also, is it the Telo you have or the older hub?
Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
try rebooting the router and the ooma?

Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
The default iLBC codec uses about 30kbs each direction, when forcing g.711 it's around 70kbs each direction but I do not believe this is the issue. The issue I believe is that you are asking the ooma device to pass high bandwidth in both directions AND process packets as well as compressing and decompressing with codecs during a phone call. I just can't imagine a hub or telo having that much processing power but I could be underestimating them.
I can only suggest hooking it behind the router.

Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
Okay. Some additional information...
This is the old hub. The modem, hub, and router and have been power cycled a few times.
The QoS is set to 384 upstream and 0 downstream. I don't think 0 is right. And if 384 is correct, still doesn't explain the dramatic drop in upstream. Not sure if either explains the insanely high ping.
What are the recommended values?

Re: Ooma taking all the bandwidth!
I forgot to mention my reserved bandwidth is 130Kbps. If I reading this right, then an active Ooma call should never exceed 130Kbps.
I went ahead and changed downstream to 2048Kbps just to test and see. This is what happened.
That is interesting information, but I am still unclear how the default up and downstream values are bad.dknyinva wrote:https://www.ooma.com/support/knowledgeb ... ty-service
