How To Enable Voice Over Ip On Your Network - Linksys WRT 1900AC User Manual

Tip:
WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) Support is a wireless feature based on the IEEE
802.11e standard. WMM improves quality for audio, video, and voice
applications by prioritizing wireless traffic. This feature requires that the
wireless client devices in your network also support WMM.
Caution:
If you specify a maximum bandwidth that is too high, the router cannot apply
priorities correctly, and prioritization problems may result.

HOW TO ENABLE VOICE OVER IP ON YOUR NETWORK

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology for using the Internet as an
interface for telephone communications. To use VoIP, you need to get an account
with a VoIP service provider. The VoIP service provider typically provides you with
a telephone adapter that connects to your network. If you do not use your network
to make phone calls, you don't need to change the default settings.
The Application Layer Gateway SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) allows SIP pack-
ets, used by some VOIP service providers, to get through your router's firewall.
To configure the router for VoIP, do the following:
• Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See "How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi" on
page 7.)
• Under Router Settings, click Connectivity, then click the Administration tab.

If your VoIP service uses other NAT traversal solutions such as STUN (Session
Traversal Utilities for NAT), TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT), or ICE (Interactive
Connectivity Establishment), deselect the SIP checkbox.
Note:
You may need to contact your VoIP service provider to determine the type of
NAT traversal configuration they use.
