D-Link , an industry leader in networking technology introduces the DI-102 Broadband Internet/VoIP Accelerator, a breakthrough device designed to enhance your VoIP calling experience.Typical Internet applications such as e-mail and chat require minimal bandwidth. But other applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and video streaming/conferencing require much higher bandwidth as they are real-time sensitive. The DI-102 Broadband Internet/VoIP Accelerator uses an intelligent engine to detect and prioritize bandwidth-sensitive packets so that they can be sent over the Internet as soon as the request is made. This results in faster processing of real-time based packets, less latency, and a better user experience.For instance, there are two computers on your network and both are online - one is using an e-mail program and the other is making a VoIP call. When data packets from each computer are sent to the Internet at the same time, the DI-102 will automatically classify the VoIP call as more important and send the VoIP packets first, and the e-mail data second. The user on the phone can immediately notice the benefits whereas the user sending e-mails will barely notice a change.Setting up the DI-102 only requires 3 easy steps. Power it up, connect your cable or DSL modem to the WAN port and then your router's WAN port to the LAN port. You don't have to worry about compatibility because this device works with virtually all Internet connection types and broadband routers on the market. In addition, the DI-102 dynamically configures itself by automatically detecting your Internet upload speed and is ready for use once it's plugged into your existing network infrastructure. It's a pure plug and play solution!Now, with this Internet/VoIP Accelerator, experience static-free VoIP calls, jitter-free video conferencing, and lag-free online gaming.

Customer Rating: Summary: Internet Technology Guy Not Exactly Happy With VOIP Accelearator Comment: To me this Voip Internet Accelerator Intelligent Packet Priority Engine does not live up to the proclaimed capabilities. I have the same problem as an internet technology guy who usses skype, vonage an routers etc, I have lots of uploads and downloads going on and this device no matter what I do I just don't see the great benefit. There is no solid indicator of what it is doing for me differently so I find it hard to recommend since I don't see a difference. There could be a benefit but I will never know what causes the slow down or not because no indicators of I am working as I am suppose to or better or worst because of the Voip Internet Accelerator Intelligent Packet Priority Engine Customer Rating: Summary: Helped a lot Comment: I was having problems with Vonage when I was downloading anything. I got one of these, plugged it in between my router and my cable modem and basically those problems all went away. Easy as that.
It's not magic. If you have a poor network connection, then that's what you have, but it helped me be able to use my Vonage VoIP without worrying what was being downloaded at that moment. Customer Rating: Summary: Does what is is supposed to do flawlessly. Comment: This device does exactly what it says it will do and with zero configuration. I just plugged it in between my router and cable modem and it went to work prioritizing my outbound traffic. It has been doing this quietly for several months without complaint.
It is important to understand what this device can and can't do. It can't do anything to improve a bad connection from your ISP nor can it do anything about inbound traffic. What it does is give priority to outbound VOIP traffic during periods of heavy uploading (e.g. P2P applications). I no longer have to shut down applications that upload a lot of traffic when I am on the phone nor do I have to mess around with QOS settings in aftermarket firmware on my router. This product fixed my problems 100%. Customer Rating: Summary: DI-102 VOIP QOS Accelerator Comment: Provides some quality of service on VOIP traffic. At full list it is pretty expensive for the modest improvement it provides. This product is slightly more effective the more PC's you have on your home network, providing the VOIP or like traffic (video streaming) with priority service. This improves the quality of the call mostly at the other person's end. Your voice is slightly less broken due to the way it delivers the VOIP packets. It can make an otherwise bad call OK. Customer Rating: Summary: Causes more problems than it's worth Comment: Firstly, this does make VOIP calls more stable, but it causes so many 'strange' browsing problems that I just had to stop using it. I really like the way that this device prioritises traffice, but as I said, too many problems and too little configuration. I am very technical and spent quite a bit of time trying to get this working well and unfortunately, I'm just better off without it.
