Reader Reviews I was having some issues with VOIP quality dropping if our PC's were in heavy use on the internet. So I picked up this device hoping to fix the issues, and sure enough, it worked! Setup was PAINLESS beyond belief! I plugged it in, waited 3 mintues, and it was done, completely automatic exactly as described.. A 5 year old could hook this thing up! In testing, it works perfect.. I saturated my internet connection with downloads and video streaming, then tried to make a VOIP call, and the call was crystal clear. This device squeezed down the other things, and allocated more space for the VOIP, and once the call completed, it increased back up the other items. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
