Ooma how much bandwidth

You need at least 2 up to even think about turning QOS off. Just the upstream speed needs QOS. Setting the downstream to 0 should work fine. Or set the upstream to 8 First of all - it's best if OOMA is installed in-front of the router. That's a 1 rule for any VOIP service if you want it to be the most reliable.

The difference in quality could be just in that 1 call out of but the difference will be there. Rule 2 is to then properly setup QoS to ensure your phone voice quality will never suffer under any internet bandwidth usage pattern in your household.

So reserving bandwidth for OOMA calls is very important. Below applies only to the configuration when OOMA is in front of the wireless router and thus can control the bandwidth. If you receive a 2nd call and have two calls in progress at the same time - another 1.

So we are down to a very important question - OOMA had reserved 10 mbps - 6. The answer is NO. The highest amount of bandwidth used by the highest quality call is not more than 0. You need only 0. So how do you setup QoS properly - without sacrificing too much bandwidth and without affecting quality of your calls? You have to set your upstream and downstream values in QoS to much higher of your actual bandwidth.

In the example above with actual bandwidth of 10 mbps down and 1 mbps up most common cable bandwidht in the USA you should set your bandwidth to about 12 mbps in downstream and 1.

But in reality your internet is limited to 10 mbps so the actual bandwidth you left to OOMA is 0. If you have any other bandwidth - you can use the calculations above to approximate correct settings for your QoS values.

If you have DSL line and your bandwidth is limited to 3 mbps - I would make the calculations above to allow only 0. Home Phone.

This forum includes tips for maintaining the best audio quality possible with the Ooma System. If your Ooma system is having issues with dropped calls, static audio or echo, look here for assistance.

My question is how much upstream bandwidth should I allocate to ooma under the QOS settings of my router. If you have a link please note it. Re: Quality of Service - How much bandwidth to allocate? Post by Aveamantium » Wed Feb 10, pm You don't allocate how much goes to Ooma unless you have a Hub and not a Telo then it has an extra pull down menu to identify the bandwidth allocation. For this just use the default in the pull down menu. Instead you tell it how much bandwidth you have total and it will reserve some for the Ooma device and give the rest to the LAN.

Note that this only occurs during a telephone call, when not on a call the QOS is off. See this Post by canaanskier » Wed Feb 10, pm Thank you but it does not address my question. I needed to be clearer in what I was asking. I have ooma connected to one of the ethernet ports on my wireless router. The router not ooma controls QOS. I have given ooma highest priority but I also wanted to know how much of my upstream bandwidth I should allocate to the ooma device.

If you have the dual lines you'll need twice that. To be safe I'd allocate around kbps in each direction for the Ooma.
