Router and satelite running latest firmware v2.3.5.50.
Regarding the settings: (a) with only a single satellite, Daisy Chain is not required. Daisy Chain "on" is the default setting so that purchasers of additional satellites find that "they just work." (b) "Fast Roaming" works for me. Here, I am assuming that the WiFi calling drops out while you sit still (not moving around), so this is not a "solution", but simply an observation. Firmware 2.3.5.30 is from last May-June. The new release, 2.5.0.38 is a "mixed bag." There are many things to find fault with (just browse any of the message threads with 2.5.0.38 in the title). After looking at the complaints and making a backup of your configuration, you might upgrade the firmware and see (a) if you can live with it, and (b) if it solves your WiFi calling issue. I would download the firmware for 2.3.5.30 (router and satellite) so that you can "go back". With a configuration backup, going back is not too difficult: do manual firmware updates, use the paperclip to "factory reset", then upload the saved configuration.
I agree with Retired_Member that you are more likely to find a resolution if T-Mobile is listed on the subject line or in a T-Mobile forum.
