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 receives a query from the VoIP service
accumulator requesting information regarding the home wireless router's
prior servicing of (or ability to service) VoIP calls. In response, the
home wireless router responds to the VoIP service accumulator with
information regarding the home wireless router's prior servicing of (or
ability to service) VoIP calls. The home wireless router and the VoIP
service accumulator subsequently service VoIP calls within the WLAN based
upon the information regarding the home wireless router's prior servicing
of (or ability to service) VoIP calls.
