Traffic shaping is also how large corporations make data and voice service co-exist on the same physical network links (AKA Voice Over IP). Voice traffic is very delay sensitive and data traffic can withstand delay. Same type of tech is employed in many of today's ISP networks to gaurantee a quality of service to each user.
Hi all,

I have tried a number of suggestions as follows:

Update to latest firmware No Change
Change Channel No Change
Disable Filtering No Change

I can get the router into some interesting states by power cycling and refreshing my IPCONFIG on my laptop. There is something very odd about this router. I am going to pick up a Netgear tomorrow and see whether I have better luck. Maybe the router knows that I used to work for Bay Networks.
