VolP encryption bridging by home wireless router

摘要

A home wireless router establishes a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that supports wireless communications within a WLAN service area. The home wireless router establishes broadband communications via a broadband connection with a VoIP service accumulator. The home wireless router services a plurality of wireless terminals within the WLAN service area, including at least one Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) wireless terminal. The home wireless router determines that a VoIP wireless terminal desires VoIP call servicing determines a WLAN encryption scheme supported by the VoIP wireless terminal, sets up, and services the VoIP call via the WLAN and the broadband connection. Servicing includes terminating the WLAN encryption scheme supported by the VoIP wireless terminal to protect the VoIP call as it is wirelessly serviced by the WLAN and terminating a broadband encryption scheme supported by the broadband connection to protect the VoIP call as it is serviced by the broadband connection.
