Hi

I am technical but new to this technology... have just received an HP T5730 1gb/1gb configured with magic jack. I have plugged it into my router wired. It works but I can hear voice when I call someone but they hear me in broken segments. Also, my other PCs (one imac, 2 win7 laptops, xp laptop) on the network are having trouble getting the internet and email...

There are two issues I would appreciate your help with:

How to fix the jittery voice? and
If the thin client is hogging the bandwidth, can this be fixed?

Many thanks.... Cheers!

Jitter can be caused by many things. Here's a quick article for some simple things to try to fix it http://www.ehow.com/how_2238303_deal-jitter-voip.html Also I would run a line quality test http://myspeed.visualware.com/indexvoip.php and check the results.

Thank you. Jitter at my location is measured as 27.9ms w/ 0 packet loss... is there anything I can do or is this not good for magicjack and I should not use it?

Also, my thin client seems to hog all the bandwidth when it is on... I have shut it down for now while I investigate if there is anything I can do... any suggestios???

Cheers,
:)April

Does your router support QoS? If it does then hopefully this can help. What is your up/down speed on your internet connection?

Hi

Thank you once again.

My router is a D-Link DIR825 and does support Qos but I don't know what to do with it. I have started looking at what others are using it for but that's as far as I have researched.

With my thin client engaged, my net speed at 6pm:
PING - 50 UP .50 DOWN 5.2

Cheers,
:)April

One quick thing you can try is switching MJ to the Air Card setting (upper left corner of the dialer screen). Seems that uses a codec that requires less bandwidth. Don't forget to restart it after you switch it.
