ADSL router with working QOS?.....

[leezer3]

Minor rant time......
So, I've moved from VM cable and a brilliant WRT54GS/ Tomato combination to a Sky ADSL connection- All is well in the world, other than QOS

To this end, I acquired an exceedingly cheap Draytek 2710n from the MM, and I was hoping for something supporting a reasonable level of QOS, and a simple enough configuration- I was horribly wrong on that part

All I really want to do is setup three distinct QOS categories-
1. High priority, catching VOIP calls, web browsing and BF2/ WOW.
2. Standard priority http downloads/ streaming.
3. Low priority for all traffic to the server and any torrents/ P2P activity.
In the Draytek, I've been left digging through a mound of badly described options, and it doesn't even seem to have a default P2P and VOIP detection, but simply works on a ports basis.

Is there an ADSL router that actually lets me do this easily (My second choice would have been a Billion 7700N), or am I going to end up sticking the Draytek into bridge mode and going back to Tomato?

QoS on my N300 works fine.

Not the best router going but works.

Which version?
I can see various versions, mainly differentiated by the case design AFAIK

Also tempted to try dropping Gargoyle on the WRT54GS and running the 2710n in bridge mode, although that would give me far too many boxes behind the desk, as I need a gigabit switch there

I had the 7800N and whilst it is a nice router it's QOS is non existent - which was disappointing as I specifically went for it for the QOS element - part of the reason for my Gargoyle post tbh. It was in the Whirlpool Billion forums that the recommendation was made to go for Gargoyle if you want QOS working

My initial point entirely
Hitting torrents with the Draytek causes everything else to go to pot, even though it claims to have QOS.

Too many boxes behind the desk is a big issue for me- I'm already using 10 plugs there, and another one is something I could do without.

I'm almost tempted to start trying to build a customised version of the Draytek firmware, but I've not really got the time for that.
