The OGV200 takes vonage from barely adequate to completely usable. I've got a 6/8mbit cablemodem, but use it fairly heavily for work. Vonage quality was often too poor to use for business calls. After getting the network optimizer, I get no more complaints from the people I'm calling. Definitely worth buying.
Seems to work well 2007-09-08
Works fine running a Asterisk server along with 2 pcs - seems to have stopped drop signals from the cable provider which had become a real problem prior to the install.
You'll get clearer Vonage calls and faster downloads

I had problems with my DSL connection and voice line when I switched to Vonage (VoIP). I use a Linksys wireless switch router to connect my three PCs and Vonage phone adapter to the internet via a Verizon 3Mbps DSL.
When I connected this Optimizer between the router and the modem, my problems were gone, except for the internet being intermittent. So I logged on to the Optimizer's setup page (by default 192.168.188.1) and changed the Rate Detection and Modem Type from Auto to their specific values and it was smooth surfin' from then on.

I stumbled acroos this item when I was searching for a solution to
the constant call interruptions I was getting with the VoIP service
I was using. When I received the OGV200 and installed it (very quickly)
my connection problems were over, and my standard broadband connection improved dramtically - well worth the money!!!Linksys OGV200 Network Optimizer for Gaming and VoIP

I have Vonage VoIP service. Call quality is acceptable most of the times. Call quality is bad when I am downloading and uploading torrents. Thought this device may help by managing the available bandwidth well. Followed the instructions, got it installed and was expecting improvements during torrent activity. Made no difference. Call quality remained as bad as it was during torrent downloads and uploads. Tried tweaking few parameters at the console. Did not help. Overall, no improvements by using this device. Going to return it. Planning try Hawking broad band booster and see if that help.

The Linksys OGV200 has saved my Vonage. My side of the call has always been perfect. Often and only after Comcast took over from Adelphia, the downstream side of Vonage calls broke up so much that the people I called could not understand the conversation and it became necessary to disconnect and use a cellphone. After accidentally running across the OGV200, I made the purchase with little hope that it would solve my Vonage/Comcast problem. Was I ever wrong. To my knowledge, since I installed this little device, Vonage has been perfect to the point it's almost unbelievable. Worth note is that this problem did not exist with Adelphia, only Comcast. My Comcast service has been fine, but Comcast obviously changed some things when they took over Adelphia that did not agree with Vonage.
Awesome Essential Item 2008-03-17
This little item improved the quality of the calls immediatly.
No more dropped calls.
We telephone family around the Globe with our Voip Telephone.
This works seamlessly.
Of course you cannot get out of the natural law of physics.
Your bandwidth is your bandwidth.
You cannot get a gallon out of a pint!
But what you get is a very orderly and smooth operation of your data flow through your internet pipe.
I recommend this to ANY person with a family and a Voip Vanage Telephone.
The OGV2000 really works. 2008-01-18
Before the OGV2000 was installed in my network, my VOIP calls teetered between "fairly acceptable" and "somewhat garbled". After the OGV2000 was running in my network, the quality of my VOIP calls really improved. When I made my first call with it, the party I called thought I was just next door. The background rumbling noise that usually accompanied my past calls was greatly attenuated and the voices of both parties came in strong and clear. Installation couldn't be simpler --- the OGV2000 is plug-and-play. Truth be told, I bought the OGV2000 based only on what the manufacturer said it would do in the advertisement. I'm glad I bought it. Buy the OGV2000. It works well for VOIP!
By the way, I'm installing another one in my brother's home because he complains that in his VOIP calls he hears his called party clearly but his called party says that his voice comes in so choppy that his sentences are completely unintelligible. I'll give you feedback in another review.

This thing does exactly what it says it will do. Connect it between your modem and router and it gives priority to your outbound VOIP packets. To be satisfied with this product you have to understand what it can and can't do. All it does is give priority to RTP packets (those send by gamming and VOIP applications) during periods of heavy upload activity (e.g. using P2P applications). It can't do anything about inbound traffic as these are typically caused by bottlenecks on the internet. Don't buy this thinking it will improve call quality or lag on MMPOG (World of Warcraft, etc.) across the board. It won't.
This thing works beautifully for me and has for well over a year.
