images sent from phone are failing and having issues
Hi All, I recently purchased an xr500 router and I've been noticing an issue when sending/receiving pics via text message. When sending, it will stall for awhile and then fail. Sometimes it goes ...
- Could you try disabling MU-MIMO from there please - I'm not sure how new your phones are but might be they don't support it properly.
I disabled smart connect and connected to each band separately. They both do the same thing. A pic will send successfully at first (within the first 30sec to 1 minute of connecting) but if you wait, it will begin to stall and fail.
I checked the network monitor in the router UI and I have very little traffic happening at the time. There are only 2 additional devices connected to the 2.4 GHz and no additional devices connected to the 5 GHz
In WAN Settings toggle SIP ALG, does that fix it?
I selected the box to disable SIP ALG and I'm still having the same issue
Correction, it might actually be working after disabling SIP ALG. It failed at first but they seem to be going through on my last 2 tests. I'll test it again in the near future
Netduma-Fraser - I just tested again and things seem to be working. Thank you very much for the help/guidance!
