I have Vonage, and I was using a Linksys RT31P2 router, with 2 phone lines.
I have been getting random voice call drops and occasional router lockups
... so Vonage sent me a new Motorola VT2442.

The admin / config pages seem to be less intuitive, but appear to have more
robust features / options.

Does any one have any experience with this?

Please explain why? I have comcast Gold - 8 mbps down and 768 kbps up. The
90, or 50, or 30 is so small it's not an issue.

The Linksys router had a voice QOS that you could set aside bandithwidth for
the voice part.

I apologize my note was not clearer - I was looking for opinions on the
Motorola VT2442 router.

I apologize for not explaining further. I should have explained the fix
supplied by Vonage that involves log on to Vonage web site and make changes
from there and not at the router. This was a successful fix for that problem
I encountered. I was supplied with the Motorola VT2442 router from the start
which only need this one adjustment and has worked fine since. I no longer
use my Linksys router.
