Question

Hello,

is it possible to reserve bandwith an WAN for internal network-ip (for the phone pbx).

In some cases we have trouble with VoIP connections when big downloads are running in network.

Router: RUTXR1 - WAN via PPPoE

Hello,

for that you can try to use SQM or QoS, both otherwise known as Traffic Shaping. Traffic Shaping is a bandwidth management technique used on computer networks which delays some or all datagrams to bring them into compliance with a desired traffic profile. Traffic Shaping is used to optimize or guarantee performance, improve latency, or increase usable bandwidth for some kinds of packets by delaying other kinds.

This manual page provides an overview of the Traffic Shaping pages in RUTXR1 devices:
