Blocked Texts
Hello, I recently noticed some of my texts are being blocked on my iphone but only when I am connected to the RS700 router. I also use Netgear Armor on the router and downloaded app on the phone...
I believe I am receiving all texts now. The issue i think was the Protection Engine setting.
Just want to clarify - texts are working now that the protection engine is off? If so, you might want ot mark that as the solution.
Though obviously it isn't clear why FURRYe38 gets texts with the protection engine on.
Maybe also turn RCS back on.
Honestly, I would need to test further but what I listed above is working so I’m done trying to figure it at the moment. Could be either RCS, PE, or Private Wifi. Or whatever combo of each.
Furrye38 seems to have a different setup thats working for the same phone.
I like NordVPN way better than Armor. So I will continue to use that on all my devices.
Seems to be just the crazy combo rechecking everything multiple times that kills texts for some reason. I blame Android phones. 🤣

I'd turn on RCS first. If that is ruled out, then set the Private Wi-FI address to fixed. If that also is ruled out, you could turn the PE back on.
Losing RCS does affect the user experience - lower resolution media, loss of read receipts. and loss ot typing indicators.
