XR500 - WiFi Calling Stopped Working?

Could you disable QoS from the Anti-Bufferbloat option menu please and see if that helps. Untick Disable IGMP Proxying in WAN Settings as well as ticking Disable SIP ALG.
Thanks so much for your reply on this. I greatly appreciate it. I solved my problem with WiFi calling. How you might ask? I dumped my account with AT&T. I jumped ship to an awesome 55+ plan (only available in FLorida) with Verizon! No need for WiFi calling as I have plenty of cellphone service in my h ome. Thanks anyways.

Any update on this? I recently upgraded all my networking equipment (CM1150v modem, XR500 router, EX7700 Extender). I was using WIFI calling today connected to the EX7700 and the call dropped off WIFI calling mid conversation. The call did not drop, however I saw on the iphone that the 'Sprint - Wi-Fi' was gone and only the wifi symbol showed. I rely heavily on wifi calling as well since service in my area is not great. Any update/suggestions?

Netduma-Fraser Thanks for the reply. Unrelated to the wifi calling, I had one other issue today. Woke up this morning and everything was working great - phone and mac were blazing fast. About 30 min later, my father tried to connect his work computer to the XR500 - was not able to connect. I restarted my mac (which was just connected and working great)...upon restart I was not able to conect to either the EX7700 or XR500. During this time, my iphone was still working great..so I restarted the iphone - same issue..could no longer connect. It seemed like something was blocking the new/restarted devices from connecting? The internet was connected because as I stated devices were working fine until they were restarted. A full reboot of the router solved the problem for now. Any settings I should look for if this happens again?
- Netduma-FraserMay 02, 2020NetDuma PartnerI assume you have nothing setup in Content Filtering? Were you able to check if the EX had internet - if you plugged into it? If you set Static/reserved IPs for the devices in LAN Settings do you see this behavior again?
