Cannot receive MMS messages

I cannot receive MMS text messages when phone connected to WiFi.
As soon as I disconnect from wifi picture will be delivered.
Sending works fine.
Same phone different router brand works just fine.

    More than strange - MMS submission and reception does happen on the mobile network only, not over the WiFi connected Internet, almost similar to SMS*.

     

    *Except that some carriers supporting WiFi calling might use SIP RFC3428 while the mobile network is not available. Not aware of anything similar for MMS.

    What router and firmware version? Version number not something like latest.

    The A7000 in sig is a USB adapter, not router.

      Thanks for the education. in my simple mind I figured if the phone was doing wifi calling then everything went that path. Obviously not.
