Upgrading older equipment is definitely a possibility, but it may require soldering and replacing components. The software running on the devices could also impose limitations.

Each other device can still exchange data efficiently. Upgrading a network device’s speed isn’t possible; instead, you’d need a different network card for a PC or replace the phone if it’s integrated. Besides the network interface, the CPU, RAM, and storage must also support the increased bandwidth. If the phone’s processor can’t keep up, you won’t achieve Gbps performance.

12-01-2016, 01:52 AM #8The main challenge lies in the bottleneck of wire VOIP phones. When gig internet reaches each desk, connecting a VoIP phone and a patch to the PC creates delays. Eventually, most connections settle at 100Mbps due to outdated hardware in between.
We also use that in the office. You'd need to swap out the phone's internal NIC and probably its linked microcontrollers to boost performance. That wouldn't be worth it financially, especially in a professional setting where such changes would likely be prohibited by insurance rules. Doing this could put you at risk if something goes wrong—like a fire—and buying a new phone is safer and more economical.
