I purchased the device last November so it’s outside the support period. It has had the issue since new, but I didn’t realise it was circle causing it until I found time to properly diagnose.
i have had a similar issue. Spent weeks trying to understand why wifi calling only works intermittently, often having to wait several hours for the iphone SE to pickup wifi calling despite it being connected to a strong signal. Disabled Circle and it connects immediately. The circle profile had VPN etc enabled. It seems that this is a known issue for sometime but Netgear has yet to address it. The whole point of having the orbi was for the parental controls. Come on Netgear, sort this out.

- I have been using circle for 18 months. I have only just got a phone contract with WiFi calling.
