With your first solution, many network issues on your WAN could have affected call quality, but with the Linksys wireless routers the problem may be at the MAC address level. WRT routers do MAC address substitution at times (substituting the phone's address for the Router's LAN interface address). ESI's Voip protocol requires the MAC address in the packets to be correct at *all* times or you will have issues.

Is it a Ip 200e or a 128e. I'm wondering because the IP200e does not support digital phones, only IP.

ESI's remote phones use very little bandwidth on their own but any Voip solution requires a lot of overhead. If you don't want any glitches the entire link should never use more than 30% of the available bandwidth. Just because you'r eusing 802.11g doesn't mean you're going to get anywhere near 100Mhz bandwidth. Has there been a bandwidth test on the link?
