I have the RT-AC66R router and for the most part it does everything I need it to do and Merlin has extended the functionality and life of this router with newer firmwares. I am running the latest 380.65 firmware with no major issues; however, every once in a while some firmwares cause weird reponse issues with my Ooma telco system (VoIP). It is connected via a Wireless connection with the Ooma telco wireless adapter and while the adapter is fussy (for example, it doesn't reset if router is reset) it works well.
When we make calls we will get drops and either have trouble hearing the other person or vise versa and I can see from the Ooma web stats, that we are loosing a lot of packets, close to 9% on the last call. I can't connect Ooma via wired connection as the phone jack is across the room from the cable modem jack. Not sure who wired my apartment, but that's besides the point. Some firmware versions I have not seen this issue and others I do, but can't quite put my finger on why.
I have tried enabling the traffic manager so I can prioritize all the traffic from Ooma, but that slows it all down since it disables hardware NAT acceleration. I am also considering setting up an older N router in DD-WRT wireless client bridge mode to use instead of the Ooma wireless adapter, but I would need to buy an old cheap router since my old Linksys E3000 overheated.
Has anyone else run into this with a VoIP system and the RT-AC line? If so, was there a fix?
Thanks,
Nathan
