Wi-Fi calling drops and reconnects continously
I see other posts on this issue, but wondering if anyone has updated/recent information on this issue. I have an Orbi RBR50 with a single satelite. The router sits on my desk, and my iPhone 11 Pr...

Turning off Daisy Chaining and Enabling Fast Roaming has made a huge difference.
Wi-Fi calling still drops out once in a while but not nearly as frequently.

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I have an Orbi RBR50 with a single satelite. The router sits on my desk, and my iPhone 11 Pro Max is no more than 5 feet from the router. The iPhone is connected to the router.
I have T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling enabled. The connection drops/reconnects constantly which is extremely annoying as it happens frequently while during a call. The same issue happened with my iPhone 8.
Settings attached.
Router and satelite running latest firmware v2.3.5.50.

The distance is greater than that, but I do not have a general Wi-Fi issue. In fact, the Wi-Fi signal is fantastic throughout the house - max speeds at all locations. The only issue is with the Wi-Fi calling. And it happens when the phone is literally 3 feet from the router and connected to it.
Beamforming, MIMO and WMM are all enabled.
Armor, Daisy Chain, IPv6 are all disabled.
I had Fast Roaming disabled, enabled it - neither made a difference.
I do not see 'Circle'?
2.4GHz channel is set to auto, but 5Ghz ius set to 48.
Enable 20/40MHz is disabled.

Does disabling of Beamforming and or MIMO change change anything?
What iOS versions is loaded on the phone?
