Our Android phones don't like the R1.

[Chuppy]

We need wifi calling turned on for our android phones to work in our area. 

When I switched from our ISP's router to the R1for better gaming, the cell phones would not make phone calls with wifi calling turned on.  I assume it's a setting in the R1, or the phones are communicating wrong with the router.  With my limited knowledge of both I will need all the advice you can give.

Thanks

So we invited my parents over for dinner.  My mom as a Galaxy 9 android phone.  The Netduma R1 remembered her phone from over 2 years ago.  It also signed her in, she did not need to input the password.  And then blocked her from using wifi calling also. This never happened before for her phone either.  At this point the only really big difference was the 3.0.207 update.  And also some minor settings in the R1 itself.

Please help.

The R1 and the firmware version are very old at this point, any new issues would likely require a firmware fix which won't happen now. You could try with a guest WiFi network and also disabling QoS fully to see if that helps

Well it took me  some time, but I figured it out.  Since both my ISP router and my old R1 are limited, I daisy chained them together and made two networks.  I ran the ISP router into the ISP modem.  I ran the R1 into my ISP's router.  I'll put all the cell phones onto the ISP router, while everything else is behind the R1.  Since cell phones don't take that much bandwidth, their impact is minimal.  While I am still able to get full affect of the R1 for gaming.

All for a short piece of cat6.  Two limited routers equals one (2) good home network!

Very good solution, thanks for sharing it!
