Hi

Is anyone using, or has anyone tried the above? I mean using a softphone on a PC that is connected to a router via wireless.

Have read mixed reports on quality, just wondered if anyone has some experience of calls using this.

Cheers

I guess it depends on the wireless access point/router you are using, how far away from it you are etc. Unlike typical data applications, if a voice packet is dropped, then the call may cut off or be a serious issue with quality, and i doubt the particular home solution you are using will offer Quality of Service.

It should be ok though if you are near the 802.11b/g router/AP and you don't like in an area where there are absolutely loads of other wireless/bluetooth users around.

i know its not quite the same thing but skype on my ipaq over wifi (wag54g router) seems to work fine.

Ive got a utsStarcom f1000 wifi voip phone and the call quality is great. Even when downloading big files there is no lag, works perfectly.

Well I have tried some test calls from my PC running voipstunt softphone. Made a call to my sipgate based phone, running through an ATA. Stuck the call on speaker and talked into my PC headset. Got really bad delays at about 5 seconds. Don't know whether this is down to the WIFI or VOIP to VOIP. I have a really good WIFI signal, the PC is only about 4m away from the router, always get 96-100%.

Ho hum, we shall see......
