Wifi Calling on XR500
Anyone managed to get wifi calling to work on the XR500?
Would appreciate help with config/settings to get it working.
I'd recommend disabling Smart Connect for a start and connecting to the individual bands.
Smart connect is disabled and I am connected to the 5GHz band. Anything else I should note?
Is Beamforming enabled? It should be. You can test with MIMO enable or disabled.
160 should be disabled.
MIMO and beamforming are enabled by default. Doesn't work after disabling those either.
160 is greyed out and cannot be enabled.
My setup: Modem>XR500, if it helps. Also running a 1Gbps/500Mbps connection. No issues with speeds on wifi or wired connections.
Wifi calling is enabled on my iPhone 8 in Mobile Data settings as well as Location Services. Wifi calling only doesn't work when I'm connected to the XR500 but not when I'm connected to other wireless APs(public, friends house etc).
