I have comcast cable connection with fast upload/download speeds when connected by ethernet cable but the speeds slow down dramatically when using my wireless router and laptop. Not sure why is slows down so much. I took the voip speed test and got these results. Speed test statistics --------------------- Download speed: 511040 bps Upload speed: 361480 bps Quality of service: 32 % Download test type: socket Upload test type: socket Maximum download pause: 339 ms Average download pause: 24 ms Minimum round trip time to server: 108 ms Average round trip time to server: 112 ms VoIP test statistics -------------------- Jitter: you --> server: 8.1 ms Jitter: server --> you: 4.8 ms Packet loss: you --> server: 0.0 % Packet loss: server --> you: 0.8 % Packet discards: 0.0 % Packets out of order: 0.0 % Number of supported VoIP lines: 6 Estimated MOS score: 3.7 Anybody know why?

How does that compare to your results without the wireless router? Can you post those? It looks like you still support 6 lines so something is good about your connection. Have you tried setting your router on another channel? Maybe it is interfering with something. The 2.4ghz range is unlicensed spectrum so it very well could be.
