Setting up QoS by port #, need the right numbers.

Post by slydog75 »

Since MagicJack uses a PC host I can't set up QoS on my WRT310N by the normal method (MAC), but I can probably do it by port. However, Im having a bit of trouble finding the correct port numbers. Can someone help me out?

You are much better off prioritizing twice. You should prioritize once within the router to give your PC priority and then again prioritize the MJ application within the PC for the highest priority. If you don't do that, and only prioritize Ports 5060, 5070 and 10000-20000 within the router you will end up with congestion within the PC that the router cannot conquer.

There are threads here that talk about QoS and prioritization. There is information in the wiki, as well.

Where is this wiki? I've searched for Wiki, QOS and priortization and haven't found much helpful. OH and are those ports TCP or UDP?

Look in the signature of any of az2008's 1000+ posts for the link to the wiki. He's kind of hard to miss.

Also, the SIP protocol uses only UDP. Your prior reading should have told you that.
