I can only make WiFi calls when I disable DoS and Port scan protection
Although this thread is closed - I have exactly the same problem as initially logged with WiFi calling.
I can only make WiFi calls when I disable DoS and Port scan protection (I do however have Sip ALG disabled).
I have current firmware for Nighthawk RAX80 ver 1.0.10.140
Ideally I would like to turn back on the DoS and Port scan protection - however if I do this WiFi calling stops

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What mobile device are you using? Android or Apple?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

The ISP modem is the NG one:

Previously I had MAC Address randomize on - I have just now disabled it.

FW version is behind: https://kb.netgear.com/000070381
Might manually update the router and re-check this: https://kb.netgear.com/23960/How-do-I-manually-update-the-firmware-on-my-NETGEAR-router
