I have given up on ever getting verizon to make my DSL work the way it should. I have been fighting with them since march. My velocity has been a fraction of what I was paying for.
It is now better but still not great. The crappy little speedstream modem apparently doesn't play well with other routers etc. I offered to buy a cisco from verizon but they never came through.
So. . . .does anyone here know of anyone that specializes in configuring a small network to work with verizon DSL?
I currently have the speedstream modem feeding a router/vonage device which then feeds my linksys wifi router. I can not get a straight answer from verizon on how they should be configured etc.
If I hard wire plug into the vonage router, I get close to the velocity I am paying for. . . 1.2 megabit but if I go wifi it drops significantly down to 300- 400k. . . .
The cisco router has 4 ports so I could have all this crap hooked up in paralllel rather than series.. . . . .I also will bring down a print server and network optimizer in a few weeks. The network optomizer reportedly optimizes for VOIP and streaming. . . . the two most important things in my case.
