Softphone choppy on office Wi-Fi, fine on cable

Wi-Fi roaming and QoS prioritisation are usually the culprit.

Try this first

  1. 1Lower roaming aggressiveness in laptop driver
  2. 2Use APs with 802.11r/k/v for fast handover
  3. 3Enable QoS / WMM, voice traffic on AC_VO queue
  4. 4Replace non-business APs (consumer routers), they cannot do QoS

When to bring us in

Still choppy? Vectel runs a Wi-Fi survey, usually overlap or co-channel issue.
