QOS question

[chpalmer]

Pfsense is GREAT and a really love it but it may be overkill

pfSense scales to anything you want it to... Overkill- yikes..

Agreed though... make sure you need qos before you tear your hair out over it...

I am considering VOIPo to replace my current T-Mobile@Home VOIP. My internet connection is kinda middling speed (~ 1Mbps DL ~ 300Kbps upload), but VOIP works fine unless someone is downloading on their computer or watching netflix, youtube, etc. So I'm interested in QOS / Quality of Service settings (but am pretty ignorant of it). My questions:


Do any of the devices available through VOIPo allow me to connect my wireless router AFTER them, and will that prioritize VOIP over computer/netflix downloads from that WL router? If some do and some don't, can I specify the device?

Or would I be better off purchasing a device like the OBI202 which specifically states: Built-In Router with QoS for VoIP Traffic Prioritization, and use that in place of the VOIPo supplied device?
