Hey all, first time posting so bare with me.
Here's the background info: two of us in the house work on computers that use VPN connections. We use a VOIP application in order to receive calls and speak to customers.
Here's the problem: if one of us is taking calls alone, everything works great, but if we both hop on, it all goes to crap. Packet loss like crazy and we can't take calls without having to call the customer back since the calls drop.
Here's the setup I have now after trying to fix the issue (haven't tested so I don't know if it'll work): I have one central modem (cable modem). That modem has an AirPort Extreme router connected to it. Connected to that AirPort Extreme's LAN port is one of the computers. Connected to the same AirPort Extreme's other LAN port is another router (AirPort Express). The other computer is connected to the AirPort Express' LAN port. So, one computer is plugged into one router, the other computer is plugged into the other router, both routers are connected through ethernet, and AirPort Extreme is connected to modem.
My question is: how can we maintain one central modem and two routers all while keeping both computers hardwired so that we won't have VPN issues and packet loss issues? If you need more clarification, let me know! Thanks for your help in advance!
