Hi, I'm looking for a good router/modem that works flawlessly with VoIP. I have found a few seem to have problems, using 2talk.

Much appreciated.

Thanks

What type of internet connection? If it's DSL, the DrayTek Vigor 2760 has been tested by 2talk :)

Cisco SRP5xx series. Built in ATA and just an all round sweet router for any small/medium business.

527W for ADSL. 521 for ethernet.

Thanks : theEd, ajobbins and chevrolux.

I want the modem to be able to support more than 5 VoIP lines as well.

This is for a school that has 10 VoIP lines with 2talk but getting lots of network errors and when I restart the current TP-link modem its fine. Can you please confirm if the Draytek or Cisco 5xx will be able to support this.

thanks.

No sweat.
Does the school have a PABX? Or just registering some phones straight to 2talk? Might have better results installing a proper pabx with digital phones and have the 2talk trunks terminate on the system. You will get a lot more features too.

Hi - It is a small primary school in Waiheke island. The school currently do not have an Internal PABX.

Currently registering 9 x Cisco phones on a dedicate ADSL broadband.

You should never plan on any more than 3 or 4 simultaneous calls on an ADSL2+ connection unless you're willing to compromise voice quality and switch to a much lower bitrate codec.

That school (on Seaview Road?) cannot get VDSL2, and is not slated for UFB until 2015 (I live about 150m from there as the crow flies).

You should look at a PABX system (TrixBox?) and reduce the number of SIP lines.

Some of those Cisco systems do a pretty nice job of managing SIP lines and setting up a PABX.

The MyPBX is a very affordable Asterisk-in-a-box, supported by us (SnapperNet) :)

We have a Cisco UC320 here that does the job quite nicely. It looks after our data and also our phones - connected to 2talk and works a dream - track down coffeebaron - he sorted ours quite nicely.

Maybe mikrotik for the router, draytek vigor 120 for the modem and then a small PBX unit?
