VoiP phone and PC set up

Re: VoiP phone and PC set up

Herein lies your problem!

now kiddies this is why you should all be running a linux router with traffic shaping implemented.

default priorities would be VPN - PC (downloads "TUT" etc) - Phone

under the VPN you can change the settings to lower the bandwidth used for that, IE bring just the 'icons', through as opposed to the 2048*1076 background image from the remote desktop etc etc.

setup a 'capped' download limit on the PC so it will not download at anything faster than say *1mb a second*

failing that follow Rizzle's suggestion on the link

or get a faster broadband connection lol

Now how do I do the things highlighted in red, please? I didn't set up the VPN, our computer "expert" did (I say that lightly, cos I wonder whether I know more about pc's than he does sometimes!), so I'm not sure how I get to the settings to set up a capped limit etc.

I'm on Windows 7 if that helps?

Thanks for dropping by stevie - most grateful.

PS. I reset my router earlier cos I couldn't log on to the IP of it, and lost all broadband connectivity. I shit myself!!! Got it back now though, phew! The kindly supplied instructions from riz's link don't match what comes up on my wizard, so I don't wanna play with the router for now, in case I break it again..... well, I am a bird!

Not too surprising, as that was a link that came up from a quick Google.

And is more imprtantly, for a different model router than yours.

I was more suggesting that there might be something similar to that for yours. Not exactly the same.

Thanks riz, I did try and search for similar instructions pertaining to my own model, but without success, sadly. I am most grateful for our input
