XR500 - WiFi Calling Stopped Working?

This seemed to have worked for me as well. Did just your voice dissonccect for you after 1-2 minutes on a call? I'm using AT&T for my cell/wifi service. I named my guest network Wifi Calling and so far so good! Thanks for saving me alot of $$$, was about to buy an ASUS.
