Did you ever fix your iOS devices ? I had issues on my TP-Link router setup as well, and for me It turned out to be a couple of things. Also keep in mind when I give you what fixed my issues, that I'm using and iPad Air M3, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max, so WiFi 6E, instead of 7. For me, I had...

I've hit good coverage areas on Verizon's 5G network, and with "allow more data on 5G" enabled on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I've gotten close to 500 Mbps down, and between 20, and 40 Mbps up. So those are great speeds for Cellular. As far as the dedicated 5G internet service, I haven't gotten a...

It is set on my iPhone as preferred I think what happened in my case after doing research last night is, Verizon prioritizes Cell service over WiFi and only connects to WiFi on low to no cell service. So I had to force my choice. I also, because I have apple devices, went in and enabled Add...

The Main router in use now is the TP-Link BE11000 Pro firmware from Nov 2025. I disabled SIP ALG in the security of the router as it's a known problem maker for WiFi calling on certain models. As far as the fix, it wasn't the router at all here, it was more about forcing Verizon to connect to...

OK, guys, I fixed WiFi calling. Here is what I did. First I passed Gemini the problem, and the suggestion was to turn on Airplane mode, and then enable WiFi to force a WiFi connection as Verizon is known to prioritize cellular over WiFi for calls. So, that's what I did, and then called their...

Thanks, I don't think mine is working based on your picture. Also, my cell signal is typically not bad, but it jumps and that's why I was trying to get this to work, and why I thought it was working until I read this thread. I'll consult Verizon support s well as other resources to see if I...

I think you got me confused with someone else. I wasn't doing this from a friend's place. This was in my own apartment.

I asked because I didn't see any new icons / symbols regarding this topic on my phone over the ones that are usually there and I'm familiar with. I'll look at the link to see if I've missed anything. Since I can't see the icons in detail without zooming in, I could have missed something. See...

Do iPhones have a WiFi calling symbol? I have it turned on for Verizon, and I have it set to prefer it. I don't remember ever seeing a separate symbol / icon for it when on a call, and the impression I've been given for the years I've used it, is it's just supposed to work. When I was using the...

@RMerlin I was curious, with some of the reasoning behind banning TP-Link, wouldn't Asus also be a candidate? Especially with the botnet issues they've had with their firmware? TP-Link has been accused of being less secure, and as Chris pointed out in the above video (I think his name is...

Well, a quick reminder, before Apple dropped their Airport line, I just stuck with those. It was in the Apple ecosystem, and they just worked, and was a good set it and forget it solution for most. After the Airport products were discontinued, the hunt for a new router was at hand. TP-Link...

Well for anyone interested, here is the video I watched. Usually I just ignore these types of videos, but he seems to be the most level headed out of the majority of others I've watched.

Well I got some really useful info from watching a YouTube channel for CrossTalk solutions and he basically said the whole TP-Link proposed ban is based on a lot of speculation and accusations without any real facts being present. He did a video on this a while back, which was my take on the...

The FCCID is correct. However, I'm using hardware version 1.0. The pro variant of the the BE11000 (which is what I have) doesn't have a v2 according to TP-Link's support site. I'm using the latest V1.60 firmware from last month. The non pro versions seem to have a v2 option, but I've never...

Well, it is true that I was focused on wired port expansion since my switch is full. I thought I had made a comment though after having mesh in place for a while that it has helped keep signal in the bedroom slightly more consistent than one router doing everything just because it does have to...
