I have FiOS 100/100 and my setup is: ONT (coax) -> ZyXEL HLA 3000 -> (CAT5) -> Frontier Router (FiOS-G1100 by greenwave) -> 8 port switch ->4 PCs. Everything is CAT5 hardwired, no wifi.
When the kids are streaming videos, my wife's VOIP audio call quality tanks horribly. Logging into the router, the total bandwidth usage is not that high, something like 30 Mbs. Speed test shows I get 95/95 with no one else on the home network so it appears Frontier is delivering the promised 100/100.
My question is where's the bottleneck in this setup? I'm suspecting the ZyXEL but have no proof. Anyone have a opinion to share on how I can improve my wife's VOIP quality when the kids are home?
The current router from Frontier doesn't support QoS AFAIKT. I've considered replacing it with my own router running DD-WRT so I can QoS the kids PC's down. But that won't help if the bottleneck is the ZyXEL.
Thoughts on that?
thanks in advance,
