An internet connection with better upload bandwidth may help.

Well i have proved to myself that is not the problem. Basicly i have 2
routers: A wired one connected to my cable modem, a wireless one thats a
client of the wired router. As long as i go through the wired and not the
wireless it has no effect on the phone so the problem has to be the
wireless router.

surfing from pc_1 has no effect on the phone

Hi Eric
is your Wlan encrypted by WEP or another algorithm? If yes, its my
experience that the working range between the AP and NIC is
substancially reduced not to speak of the transferspeed - try sitting
like 3 metres away from the AP with no objects between the laptop and
and the AP and give it a test - if the quality is better that might be
your problem.

If that isnt the problem it might be a bad cable from the LAN to the AP.
One of my first selfmade network cables had a flaw - after i made it, i
tested it with my Fluke network tester and it turned up all ok. Then i
plugged in and started copying and it gave me a load of bad files - not
to mention a copy time of 5 minutes pr. 10 meg or so.

Hope you crack the problem
