Orbi WiFi 6 with 4 satellites - flawless EXCEPT drops Zoom telephone calls from work to cell
I have the Orbi WiFi6 setup with 4 satellites. Armour enabled. Have pretty much had zero problems. When I started working for a while remotely, the office ZOOM phone system allows calls to my offi...
Hopefully the new FW fixes this for you.
I've been enjoying the new FW for sure.
Hi, and thanks for the response. I also thought it might be Armor. Armor played havoc with my internet connections on my home network a year or so ago. They finally fixed that. This started when our office system started with a ZOOM phone system. Can set it so that if out of the office any call to the office number rings on my cell. Works for all other people in the office, but for me when I answer it works for a minute or two and then as noted above I cannot hear them on my cell but they can hear me fine. Firmware is most current: V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 for my Orbi 6 system at the house. Office building size: don't know square footage, but takes up an entire floor. My coworkers without Orbi home networks have no issues, even those with the same iPhone I use (13 Pro).
Will need the feedback for the questions presented to better help you.
Might update FW as well since new FW is availalble for manual installation.
Did not realize that the firmware had been updated so recently. Update all the satellites and then the router's firmware. Normally, when my issue would arise it would come about 3 minutes after the call connected. After the FW updates, Had someone call my office number from another phone to see if it would cut off a few minutes after connecting. It worked fine for more than 5 minutes. For the heck of it I turned on Armor again just to see if that would affect it. It did not. Monday will be a better test with loger calls, but this is encouraging. Thanks, and I will advise hoe next week goes.

Any progress on this? I see this post has been marked as solved...

Yes, sir. Firmware must have worked. Been on ZOOM calls for 10-15 minutes and no issues. Even running Armor again and no problems. Thanks for the help.
Also, better RSSI to my Ring doorbell, although purely guesswork if the new firmware had anything to do with that, but I'll take it!
