With the traffic shaper turned off, I get about 1340 kb/sec both ways. What should I set the traffic shapers inbound bandwidth to? Should the outbound be the same?
Also, when it asks for reserving bandwidth for VOIP, what should I set that to? I have it set to 384 or 512 right now. But I'm not even sure what that is for.
