Voip Internet Accelerator Intelligent Packet Priority Engine

Product Description:

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.

Helped a lot.......2007-04-11

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.

Does what is is supposed to do flawlessly........2007-03-15

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%.

Causes more problems than it's worth.......2007-02-18

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.

I am on 7000/896 DSL internet.

Easy to install, fixed our VOIP problems...........2006-08-15

When I initially came across the D-Link DI-102 (and the Hawking HBB1) I must admit I was skeptical of these "Broadband Internet Accelerators". After a little research, I decided on the DI-102 (based on my previous good experience with D-Link products). Both devices use the same StreamEngine technology from Ubicom.

We switched our home phone over to VOIP a few months ago, and although our ISP has infrastructure which is well optimized for VOIP, the call quality could be patchy when either of the Windows XP PCs in the house was using the shared DSL connection. However, when my wife's used her Apple Mac to FTP files, the VOIP connection was simply unusable. Unlike Windows XP, OS X 10.4 does not support Quality of Service (QoS), so it severely disrupts the VOIP packets.

Once I received the DI-102, I turned off all of my other equipment, plugged in the DI-102 between the DSL modem and telephone VOIP adapter, turned everything back on, that's it....

The device is very easy to install, and once installed it automatically goes to work. Basically it has two Ethernet connectors and a power connector. The built in browser based configuration is also very simple, providing status information for the device and four configuration options (for data rate, connection type, and static I/P information). Automatic data rate detection is already set by default.

We have noticed a substantial improvement in our VOIP call quality (and now even the Apple Mac can't disrupt our calls).

By the way, connecting this device (and any other networking/VOIP devices you own) to an uninterruptible power supply is essential for protection from "power nasties" such as surges, brownouts, etc.).

Great device, if you get good ping time........2006-04-03

Ha ha ha. I'm a kid. LOL!

Listen,
I bought this device to use with my asterisk server and it appears to do exactly what it should: give higher priority to VoIP (read: SIP and IAX2) traffic and allocate traffic as bandwidth needs change. I hooked up the device, changed my on-hold music to "Harvard Sentences", which are recognized by the ITU as a good method for determining telephone audio quality.

I immediately noticed a difference for the better, After baselining the quality level with full bandwidth, I tried downloading a few demos from Microsoft, and again, it seemed to work marvelously- no discernable packetloss.

This device won't help in all situations- I have two VoIP accounts, one has ping times around 180ms, and another with a ping time around 75ms. The 75ms VoIP had better call quality in virtually all regards, but the 180ms account still showed a few quality issues, that I've always had.

I noticed in multiple forums that people are having trouble using these types of devices on Comcast. This may be a cable issue, and because your sharing your connection, QoS probably needs to be setup on the head-end. My experience (with DSL) is 180-degrees of what the previous reviewer said.

I'm impressed. Compared to some of the more complex packet prioritization/QoS devices out there, this is the easiest to use out-of-the-box. It's truly PnP. It lacks in some aspects- virtually no end user configuration required, but when you stack it against other $1,000 QoS devices, It gets two thumbs up (way up.) It beats getting a dedicated DSL line for asterisk!

Long story short, if your getting a reasonable pingtime, this will enable you to still use a majority of your bandwidth for your browsing, without having voice quality issues.
