Problem with phone (voip) over new modem setup

I just noticed that the phone quality with my new setup as mentioned in the last posts is bad. The ringing sound is almost echoing and when someone on the other end speaks it is like I am on a bad modem dial-up connection. Arghhhh!!! Do I need to blame my new D-Link modem or did I forget an important setting in both of my DSL-modems? I am receiving a call from my best friend from Germany tonight and am ready to pull the new modem apart and go back to my old setup. I cannot even ask anyone for ideas, because my setup is pretty rare, I guess…maybe I do need to put my German modem first and the Australian modem second? But then I wonder how to receive the high speed internet, if my German modem is not receiving it, plus I also want to use the wireless of the German modem… Would be easier to draw a picture to explain what I mean. Okay, here is my setup:

Looks easy, but took me a while to setup the software of both modems to actually work with each other. However, the phone seems to not get the decent amount of bytes through the line as the sound is just shabby. Also, as I said yesterday, our internet speed is still very much the same as before the new modem came into play. I guess, that the D-Link modem is not transfering the whole speed to the Fritzbox modem. But, where to check and what to set where and why??? HELP!

UPDATE
Just found out that I can call out, but the person on the other end can’t hear me.

Call me computer network geek with boobies

Today at 2.30 pm you might have heard a loud YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

That was me, because I could finally get my personal smart DSL friggling modem2modem setup to work.

So far I was using my wireless German DSL modem (Fritzbox 7050), which I hacked from Annex B to Annex A to receive the Australian DSL signal, plus I changed the firmware and installed another hack.
Unfortunately I didn’t receive the full ADSL2+ speed with my hacked German Fritzbox modem. My internet provider is iinet, and they advertise with up to 24000 kb/s as download speed, which one can only reach when your next exchange is right next to your house probably. Our exchange point is 3,2 km away, therefore we can only reach between 4000 and 6000 kb/s.

Because I wanted to highest speed possible (who wouldn’t) I bought the D-Link 502T Generation II DSL modem (on eBay.com.au).
Since last night, I was trying to connect both modems, because I wanted the full speed of my internet line, which I reach with the Australian DSL modem, but I didn’t want to miss my Fritzbox wireless internet and the VOIP (voice over IP), because I have two phone numbers set up in my Fritzbox, a German number, so that people from home can call me cheap or for free (with a flatrate to german fixed phone numbers, pretty common these days).
I know, it sounds quite confusing for someone who is not in it.

I am totally in it, a bit exhausted but HAPPY! Learning by doing, as usual the best training!

And my man is proud of me, again. I’m his computer chick, he accepted and lives with it. What would he do without, anyway? Saved him and us a lot of money for an Australian wireless DSL modem with VOIP integrated, which also needs to have all the features that my Fritzbox has. Ok, and I love my Fritzbox.

Mission accomplished!

I have wireless Internet again, can use my phone with the two numbers, use the advantages of my Fritzbox settings (like the the night setting where phone is automatically turned off, the nice online traffic counter, modem reports via email, setting of two alarm clocks and let the phone ring me up in the morning, the awesome software display design (D-Link looks like 1995!) etc.), but still I am surfing over the Aussie D-Link modem with the higher speed.

The only thing, I don’t know if the speed I am reaching now, is correct…I measured it with speedtest.net and it said 0.27 Mb/s download… My Aussie modem is receiving 6853 kb/s, which would be over 6Mb/s, or am I wrong?

Connecting new Aussie ADSL2 modem with wireless German DSL modem

Finally I have time to install the new DSL (ADSL2+) modem that I’ve ordered on eBay a few weeks ago. It is brand new, cost me only $30 (plus shipping extra $15), and is supposed to be a good DSL modem, as far I could search in diverse forums for user opinions. For geeks, it is the D-Link DSL-502T, Generation II, ADSL2+ modem router.

My plan is to connect it to my German wireless DSL modem. With only my German modem, which I changed from Annex B to Annex A (Australian Standard), the DSL speed seems to be, ehm, very slow. We reach not more than 900 kb/sec as download speed, around 500 kb/sec upload. Our internet provider gives us up to 24000 kb/s download speed and we can’t use it so far, but we pay our $60 per month. Therefore, I listened to Sven from the other side of this country (Sydney), who said, he had the same slow internet connections with his German DSL modem, therefore he bought a simple Australian DSL modem to put it as transmitter in between phone line and German DSL modem.
If you don’t see me for a while it can mean that I’m having trouble with getting the internet running. Wish me luck!
