[asterisk-users] Best inexpensive home office router for VoIP (QoS with maybe PoE)

[Mark Coccimiglio]

I'm using a Cisco 1605R [running IOS 12.3(5a)] small office router with 
"Fair-Weight" queueing enabled.  Works great.  The nice thing about 
Fair-Weight queueing is that it dynamically adapts to lower the priority 
of higher demand traffic (e.g. large downloads).  If you want quality 
stick with quality stuff.
