Solve : VOIP conversations keep dropping?

1.	Solve : VOIP conversations keep dropping?
Answer» Quote For example, if your router was using 300 Mbps Wireless Access (802.11/n standard) just had to correct myself here... 802.11/n is 600 mbps, not 300 Update: her oovoo (VOIP program) disconnects randomly while she is away from the computer. lolHow come I can not modify new posts? I also read about 'ATM loopback test'. Should I do this one on her router if things don't go well? Anyway, Update: I ASKED her and her house mate about the whole DSL thing, she said yes, it's DSL, phone and internet at the same time. Now to find out if it's router+modem at the same time. She's going to plug it in the phone socket of her room today and she found an 'old LAN cable she used for her laptop'. This should work. We'll see.EEVIAC!! IT WORKED!! She put her DSL line in the phone interface in her room and the whole splitter thing and put her LAN cable in the router then in her laptop and we don't have this problem anymore!!! I'm so happy! Especially because I've asked about his problem to networking people so many times! Me and my girlfriend would like to thank you a thousand times!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I'm so happy! Happiest day ever! If you have problems I will always check them out on the forum and do my best to help! Many thank yous and cheers, Treval You're welcome, sir. Now that we know it works with a cable, we've pretty much isolated the problem to the wireless environment. If she still wants to go wireless she can, but will have to make some assessments and tinker a little.. Hm. Our conversation last NIGHT (with cable! =)) lasted 41 minutes before the conversation on her end 'froze' and dropped. I hear her laptop harddisk do a lot of read actions. Rrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrr. Dunno. Probably her problem. RAM or something. Also, oovoo on my side builds up endlessly on RAM for some reason. It goes up to 500+ MB (I have 2 GB DDR2 dual channel!) I THINK it's because I'm forcefully blocking every single (and there are a loooot of them) ad DOMAIN from every ad oovoo is trying to show me. I turned off the DNS caching service with HostsMan and this little neat program blocks all the adds. Oovoo's ads say "Don't want to see ads? Buy an oovoo plan". Rofl, I did it the smart way. Maybe oovoo can't deal with me blocking its hundreds of DOMAINS a second. Perhaps that's why the RAM builds up? Dunno. Or perhaps it's just oovoo being memory-leaky. Or! Perhaps some tiny connection problem occurred on her end. =P Also, oovoo requires minimum 128 Kbps up/down, so we're fine. The connection bar is nice and green and all bars are maxed out so that means maximum connectivity. Anyway the problem of connectivity is solved anyway. At least no dropouts. =P I'm not too worried about the rest.
