Network Settings for Voice Data
If you are using an app-based telecoms service or other cloud based telephony tools you want your calls to be the very best quality possible. The way you can achieve this is implementing Quality of Service (QoS) on your home network.
If you are using app-based telecoms services configuring QoS on your network router ensures that your voice data is prioritised over other network traffic in your business.
This is vital to ensure that other activity happening on your network doesn't impact call quality and stability. When your network isn't stable this can cause information to get lost in transit which in turn means gaps in conversations, reduced call quality and even call drops.
If you are a CircleLoop customer our help document on Network Settings will assist you
- Please refer to your router's instruction manual when applying changes to settings and remember to always backup your current settings before making any changes. If you're not familiar with network management then please take advice from somebody who understands your network before applying any changes.
