Hello - To follow up on yesterday's thread, I logged into the RBR40 router last night and made the following changes and ALL cell phone wifi calling is now working in the house with no issues:
Enabled the following (checked the box):
-Beamforming
-MU-MIMO
-WMM
Disabled the following:
-Disabled IPv6 (it was already set to Disabled so no change necessary)
-Disabled Daisy-Chain mode
-Disabled 20/40Mhz Coexistence
-Disabled Fast Roaming
Tested 2 out of the 3 phones (IPhone 11 and IPhone 10) last night and today with no wifi calling issues. Will test the IPhone 8 when I am able to, but I do not suspect there will be any issues. Voice quality is very clear too, I noticed an improvement after making the above changes. Thanks for you help.

I will log into the router RBR40 tonight and document these settings.
I allowed the IPhone app to autoconfigure the router so some of these Optimized settings (WMM, MIMO, daisy-chain, fast roaming, etc.) may not be optimal.

Glad its working better. Be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
