Hello All, I've finally become so frustrated with my current router that I'm seeking alternatives. I presently use a Linksys BEFSR81 which was chosen for its QoS capability. However, that device quite routinely loses WAN<>LAN connectivity requiring a reboot. Sometimes it goes day or weeks just fine, sometimes I have to reboot it 4 times a day. Readingwwwbroadbandreports.com's VOIP forum I see that this is a known problem with this device. Linksys will provide no assistance whatsoever.
Also at the broadband Reports VOIP forum I found a post from someone who had started using the m0nowall firewall with his Vonage service. m0nowall looks interesting as it boots from CD and stores its setup files on floppy. I can even be run on a Soerkis Engineering embedded PC booting from compact flash. It appears to provide "traffic shaping" which I'm given to understand is like the Linksys QoS controls. Does anyone here have experience with this or similar small Linux firewall/router apps? Care to comment? FWIW, my home office has three SNOM 200s, a Sipura-2000, Asterisk with outbound calling via VoicePulse Connect, 4 incomming PSTNs.
