CAX80-100NAS with Xfinity wifi texting failing
We have Xifinity internet and Xfinity mobile. The AX6000 was purchased by us and then connected to Xfinity. Starting in December, both my wife and my Samsun Galaxy S21 phones started having issues ...
Any chance either of you two or anyone else on this ISP happen to try one of there gateway routers or a different Wi-Fi router?
The reason is that sending text messages in Wi-Fi on Android requires Wi-Fi calling enabled. And Wi-Fi calling depends on how the carrier handles the traffic. Sending text message with photo will be more challenge as it's size is larger. So it may be related to the Xfinity mobile.
All this looks to be something lots of others are experiencing as well with this ISP and this ISPs particular service:
I have another older Netgear router and I have a much older Arris modem and when those 2 are hooked up there is no issue with my Samsung S23 sending out MMS/photo text messages. Also the photos that I'm sending out are very small screenshots that are way less than 1mb in size.
My wife and I have tried several locations on different wifi systems and home is only place we have issues.
