I don’t recall when the firmware was updated, so I know WiFi Calling has worked since the last update to v.14.
My ISP setup is kind of unique. I live out in the country and have a wireless broadband service provider. And this ISP leases space on my tower. So, as part of the lease, I have a cat 5e cable running from my Orbi router out to the tower and into an ISP owned switch. It is small cheap Dynex DX-GB8PRT and has several items connected, service to me being just one of the items. That switch gets its input from something installed up the tower.
I have set the SIP back to default of being on after my test.
Thanks,
Doug

You might power OFF the ORbi and satellites for 1 minute or two, then power them back on and test.
I can't find much info on this switch:

Not sure if it's managed or non managed. There as been users reporting issues with Orbi systems and managed switches. I don't think this one is managed.
You might power OFF the switch for 1 or two minuts as well if you have access to the switch while you do the same with the orbi. Then last power ON the Orbi system and test.
