No additional numbers after CODA -45.
When i use the app on my phone, it says there are no updates available at this time.
Turned SIP ALG off.
IPv6 is disabled.
Unchecked box for 20/40 coexistence.
Router has been rebooted.We have
Walls and kitchen appliances seemed to effect the wifi signal at each end of the house so I installed satellites to get better wifi signal at those ends of the house.
We have made a number of changes. How do the changes that have been improve the "hand shake" between cellular calls and wifi calling?

The newer FW needs to be applied manually.
Having more signal in a closer area can cause problem and noise on the phone and could effect how the phone operates on wifi and the handling of incoming calls via wifi.
You might run a test with all RBS turned off and have someone call you and see if the phone call comes in normally or doesn't.

Firmware is now V2.7.5.4
I will disconnect both satellites.
How do check signal strength at each end of the house to see if RBR50 is providing a strong signal?
I really appreciate you help and hope this allows us to receive incoming calls via wifi. Don't have a problem with outbound calls.

Did a quick speed check using Ookla. In room where RBR50 is located got 610 mbps down and 55 up. In room with satellite #1(now disconnected) 93 Mbps down and 19 up. In room with satellite #2 (now disconnected) 491 down and 54 up.
Speed test using ORBI speed test 729down and 52 up.
Should I consider a different router and forget a MESH network?

I would think those are good speeds if your speed testing over wireless with a wireless device. Thats not bad at all.
What are speed results with a ethernet connected PC?
Are incoming phone calls still missing?

Speeds with ethernet cable are similar to wifi in room with router. Yes, speeds are good. Just worried about room with satellite #1. It is room with computers, printers, and tv.
Too early to know if we are still missing phone calls.
If I do start missing calls again, should i consider a different more up to date router?
