<span class="gmail_quote"></span>ok then, so for the sake of avoiding confusion, say all connectivity was wired, would i then be able to prioritise voip packets over say http and gaming packets?<div><span class="e" id="q_1157a8af6e4d29de_1">

>From what I understand, you're looking to apply QoS on the wireless side of<br>things. QoS is a funny thing... It won't really do much in a wifi<br>environment. On the radio side of things, you can't stop people sending you
<br>data. As the radio side is a shared medium, any QoS applied to it will not<br>give the same results as on the wired side.<br><br>When you get many people on an access point, because it is a shared medium,<br>you will find that the performance will drop off exponentially until it's
<br>pretty much unusable. Such is the way with shared mediums - think hubs,<br>cable nodes etc.<br><br>If you're using things such as VoIP, which really does require guaranteed<br>bandwidth, I would look at using wires - as wireless really won't suit your
<br>needs in your particular environment.<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:melbwireless-bounces@wireless.org.au" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">melbwireless-bounces@wireless.org.au

<br><br>hey there peeps,<br><br>im trying to decide which hackable router is best for my situation.<br><br>i basically need a router thats rock solid. a router with a good radio, a<br>router that can handle hundreds of connections from multiple users, intense
<br>multi-user traffic, voip prioritisation and QoS for multiple users.<br><br>since u cant buy the wl-500gp anymore (it seems to have been superseded by<br>the wl-600) i was wondering whether anybody's had any experience with the
<br>600 (according the openwrt site, it says it isn't fully supported as yet)?<br><br>now i know quite a number of you guys have wl-500gp's , what have been your<br>experiences with these so far in terms of my requirements. are any of you
<br>guys using these for internet sharing and hc p2p downloading (torrents,<br>emule, ares). do any of you use them for voip?<br><br>im presuming these models have both bigpond cable clients and pppoe/pppoa<br>login clients?
<br><br>in terms of QoS, have you tried gaming/making phone calls and p2p at the<br>same time!!? what about the wireless sensitivity/range is it gooooood?<br><br>i must stress that it must be stable especially under duress!!!!!
<br><br>thx guys<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Melbwireless mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Melbwireless@wireless.org.au" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
