wasim21k

hi there, any of you guys have any experience with this device
Grandstream HandyTone 486 VOIP adapter

there is another device on dabs which is Linksys By Cisco VOIP PHONE ADAPTER
can some one please tell me which is better as i need to buy soon,
there is other option which is FRITZ!Box but its bit expensive so can not afford this much money, and right now my netgear router dont have QoS so if i m going to buy any of the above mention device i might end up buying another router for QoS.
oo one more thing i m with ice bb:mad:

I've just ordered the Linksys PAP2T myself and waiting on delivery so haven't tried it yet, Pixmania have it cheaper than Dabs (although €12 for shipping) http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/541731/art/linksys/voip-pap2t-telephone-netw.html

Well you'll probably get better quality with hardware (using the right codec) than a softphone. If your broadband isn't great though to start with then you might always have quality issues. It's not loads of bandwidth that's important, you just need good consistency and low latency. Blueface have a good network tester available which you can install and run to give you a good idea how suitable your connection is for VoIP :

Make sure nothing else is using your connection when you run the test. If you need an online tester then try

or

Try testing at different times of the day too.
