Phone calls and text messages don’t work when connected to WiFi?
For some reason 5G and 4G devices have failed calls and text messages on my home network. Any setting changes or suggestions?

Using the Nighthawk XR500
- Netduma-FraserJan 09, 2021NetDuma PartnerOkay so I assume you're using WiFi calling? Are you using Smart Connect? If so disable this and connect to 2.4 or 5GHz manually and then see if it behaves better.
- appariiJan 09, 2021TutorSmart connect is not enabled. Thanks for the idea to check, though. WiFi calling is set up on all devices. Not sure why SMS/MMS messages don’t go through to Android users.
