New framework and wifi calling

[Celeri]

Hello,

Since new framework, and with Circle enabled, wifi calling stopped working.

When i disable Cicle, everithing works well.

Do you have this problem (i live in France, with SFR as provider)

Thxs !

If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

Has a factory reset been performed and set up from scratch after the FW update?

Reminds me to the T-Mobile Wifi calling thing - read here -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Circle-WiFi-Calling-T-Mobile/td-p/1638997

Hi @Celeri

May I please know the following information: 

- Carrier for Wi-Fi calling?

- Was it working before? 

- Will it work if filtering level is set to NONE? 

- Device/Phone affected? 

We look forward to your response.

For Wifi Calling to work, your device needs to be able to reach to certain addresses (Fully Qualified Domain Names FQDNs). It seems that Circle -for some reason- is blocking those FQDNs. Please check with your Wi-Fi Calling provider which FQDNs are needed so that you can set Circle to allow, examples should be like (I'm just putting SFR as an example, but the addresses can be something else, please check this with your operator):

• epdg.epc.sfr.net (to reach to the ePDG in the network)
• sentitlement2.mobile.sfr.net (for the Entitlement server, if any, used for multiple devices)

Seems like something with Circle in new FW is causing problems...

Any news about this problem ? For me it still does not work.

@Celeri Can you please test the following to confirm the theory that Circle is blocking the needed FQDNs from the phone to your operator:

Can you please go to the Circle app, choose the user for which the device who have problems with wifi calling belongs to, select "Filter", then "Custom Filter", add sfr.fr and keep it as "Allowed".

I would contact NG support about this if you can't seem to get it working correctly.

The domain sfr.fr was just a guess :), can you check with sfr what the real FQDN is? or please try other possible domains like sfr.com, sfr.net,.....
