GSM5212 voice VLAN killing LAN access for Yealink T42S phones
Objective - I'm trying to set up 3 T42S phones for a 3cx pbx installation on an OVH vps in STUN configuration behind a Netgear M4100-D12G switch using the Auto-Voice VLAN. The router is a Netgear R...
It goes without saying that this is not my area of speciality so I truly appreciate the assistance.
As for the router, what one would you suggest for a small business environment like this?
My rudimentary understanding about using a voice vlan is that it gives priority to voice packets in order to keep conversation smooth and free of interruptions by other network traffic. If that is true, it would seem to be important for even one phone so that the user didn't inadvertently destroy the quality of his phone call by downloading a big file while trying to talk.
I would very much appreciate hearing your response to those thoughts so that I might better understand this.
Thank you in advance.
Hi @lcs0500,
You might need to change the R8000P with a business type of router that would fit your network requirements. Let me share the articles I found online and use it as your reference guide:

- In the year 2018 I would expect a 499 US$ router in the class of a Nighthawk X10 (R9000) should have enhanced towards supporting at least three default VLAN - main, guest (LAN and WiFi), and VoIP.
Thank you both for the suggestions and reference documents.
I have decided to replace the router with one designed for business use.
It seems to me that, with only 3 phones, a business router would eliminate the need for a managed switch.
Please let me know if that isn't correct.
Thanks,
Lou
This does lead to the question if there is a need for a business router and a managed switch if there are just three IP phones at all?
