The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Vonage - Motorola VT1005 -> Linksys WRT54G Router -> Port Forwarding

Asked by eentc in Voice Over IP

Tags: , , , ,

We have been using our Vonage service behind our Linksys router for a while now, but call quality has been poor.  Vonage has suggested we put the Motorola VT1005 right behind the cable modem and then string our existing Linksys router behind it.  This is great for the VoIP service, however, now I am faced with a confusing and difficult setup for the port forwarding we were using on our Linksys network.

We have a few web servers, and other applications running on our internal network that we need visible to the Internet. On the Linksys unit, I simply setup port forwarding for the specific application ports to go to the appropriate internal IP address.  Now, the Motorola VT1005 is introducing another layer of Network Address Translation.  The Motorola unit is 192.168.102.1, while our Linksys network is 192.168.245.x (and we cannot easily change this).  I tried setting up port forwarding for the appropriate ports on the Motorola unit to go to the WAN IP address of the Linksys router (which is now 192.168.102.100), but that did not work.  I also tried setting up the WAN side of the Linksys router as a DMZ to the Motorola unit, also without success.

Is there a better way of doing this?  It appears we need the QoS (Quality of Service) features from the Motorola unit to achieve proper voice quality, but we also need the port forwarding capability of the Linksys WRT54G (which is an 802.11g router with 4 LAN ports).  I just cannot figure out how to get both at the same time!Start Free Trial
