Just set up as an extender and WIFI Calling does not work

I extended the current SSID network and if the Extender is powered on and connected no wifi calling from any location - even if you are city next the ISP router in the next room.  If I power the device off it will work a minute or so later.  I just now changed the settings to ony run the 2.4 network which is the base speed for the network.  Like many others we have poor cell reception so the whole point was to extend the reach a little for the wifi and so the calling, etc.

 

It is the latest firmware version.

 

Is there any way to get this to work and allow wifi calling or should I just return it if I am able and look for another option. 

 

Help if you can - otherwise it is a waste of money for me without a solution.

Model: EX7000|AC1900 Nighthawk WiFi Range Extender
