VOIP Degradation on Wireless Network
Hi all,
I am using a VOIP softphone. When at my office this works fine, but when I am working from home I get massive jitter and delay in response.
I am wondering if my home wireless network 802.11G could be the cause. When I connect to my router directly with an ethernet cable, the IP Softphone seems to work much better with less jitter.
I don't really understand that as my laptop is only a couple of metres from the router in clear line of site and I have a solid 54MBPS connection on wireless.
I am not sure if I could also have a latency issue - I seem to have ping times of 120ms to the my companies' servers in the US which is where the IP phone exchange is located.
Is it normal to expect much worse performance on an IP softphone when going over a local wireless network?
cheers for any comments on this.
