Subject: Configuration question: Having two Ooma Telos to share one internet connection
I would like add one more Ooma Telo to my household. The net is to have two Ooma Telos, one Telo and one Telo Air Wireless, in my own household. The router is Netgear N750 and the IP upload speed is 2Mbps.
After reading several postings about QoS+ Ooma settings on the Ooma Forum, I came up two somewhat educated guesses.
Current configuration:
•Cable Modem-> Telo ->Netgear Router
•QoS is turned off
•It is working fine as far as Ooma concern
Future configuration 1:
•Cable Modem-> First Telo ->Netgear Router-> Second Telo with Air Wireless
•QoS is turned on with manually entered Ooma specific ports (UDP 53, UDP 123, UDP 514, UDP 1194,UDP 3386, UDP 3480, UDP 10000-30000, TCP 110, TCP 53 and TCP 443)
•Question: when both Telos are being used at the same time, would the First Telo hogs the bandwidth and throws the QoS setting out of the window. If that were the case, would that make the performance of the second Telo unpredictable?
Future configuration 2:
•Cable Modem -> Netgear Router -> First Telo (wired) + Second Telo Air (wireless)
•QoS is turned on with manually entered Ooma specific ports (UDP 53, UDP 123, UDP 514, UDP 1194,UDP 3386, UDP 3480, UDP 10000-30000, TCP 110, TCP 53 and TCP 443)
•Question: when both Telos are being used at the same time, would they compete for the same ports and make both Telo having poor quality of communication?
Last but not least, are there any other configurations that would serve better on a single internet connection? Thank you!
