R6120 wifi calls
I have a R6120 wifi router. We have no cell phone service where we live so I try to make wifi calls. The calls are staticy and there is usually a wierd delay that makes communication nearly impossible. I'm at my wits end, I don't know if I need a bigger wifi router of if it's my satallite internet, I would appreciate any input

Thats your key right there. Satellite internet. Its slow and has really high latency. the newer starlink from spacex is reducing latency to the point where wifi calls are practical. but traditional satellite internet has around 500millisecond latency (half a second).
