      I'm trying to use the shaping wizard in pfSense 2.2 to boost VOIP priority only, I don't care about anything else.

      From what I'm seeing, apparently you can't use the VOIP wizard option if you are using PRIQ. Though, I guess if you can't do that, why does it act like it can do it? It should detect that situation and not allow you to attempt VOIP prioritization.

      ================================

      PfSense 2.2

      Dashboard:
      WAN #1: 1000baseT <full-duplex>LAN #1: 1000baseT <full-duplex>LAN #2: 1000baseT <full-duplex>LAN #3: 1000baseT <full-duplex>Multi Lan/Wan Shaping Wizard
      –---------------------------
      WAN connections: 1
      LAN connections: 3

      Next

      LAN #1: MYTEL_VOIP    - PRIQ
      LAN #2: LAN            - PRIQ
      LAN #3: GUEST_WIRELESS - PRIQ
      WAN #1: WAN            - PRIQ
        Upload: 93 Mbit/sec
        Download: 93 Mbit/Sec

      Next

      Finish

      Give up. Start over, but choose HFSC for all interfaces this time:

        (Also, I realize 10 megabit is a ridiculously high bandwidth guarantee. But we've had VOIP delay / dropout problems and I want this fixed and not have to deal with it anymore.)

        Bit higher recently due to fone techs doing remote access monitoring over the voice VLAN:

          Forget the wizard.

          Just create 2 PRIQ queues on the WAN. A default queue for all unclassified traffic, and another queue for exclusively VOIP.

          Then setup a floating rule in the firewall that directs all VOIP traffic into the proper, prioritized queue.

          Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.
