Then you don't have a local LAN problem.  You have a QoS issue with your 
  WAN connection.  Since I doubt your ISP has QoS on the link you'll get 
audio issues.  Unless you have audio issues between calls that don't hit 
the router, in which case I have no idea what to suggest.

r: Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from
the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert
this by default into all your dial statements as you are killing call
progress information for the user. Really, you almost certainly do not
want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where
it is appropriate to do so. "r" makes it go the next step and
additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to
do so.
