Advanced Settings

Skype functions on most networks without any special settings required. However, some networks use restrictive firewalls that tightly control incoming and outgoing Internet traffic, which prevents Skype from functioning properly. If you find that your Wi-Fi Phone does not function from the network you are using, ask the network operator or system administrator for the settings required to enable Skype to function properly.

The Advanced option on the Settings menu provides access to the network connection settings that may be required for some networks. If you are not familiar with firewalls and networking terms, it may be best to ask a system administrator or knowledgeable friend to help make the settings for you.

Note: This section only provides a brief summary of the advanced settings available and a knowledge of networking is assumed. For more information, go to www.skype.com.
