Hi

If you start your own thread (new message), we’d love to help.

We’ve found that posting in someone else’s conversation makes it harder to follow when looking for an answer.

It’s easier and quicker if we can chat with you in a single thread, if you start your own thread, that will keep our community organised and help others with a similar problem.

Check your home phone number or account number are also added to your Community Profile as that will really help us to find your details quicker.

Thanks

Karl

Can you help, my WiFi is not working again.

Hi

Most phones will use mobile data as the primary connection and Wi-Fi as the fallback.

For android there are useful apps such as macrodroid that I find helpful.  These can be set to perform functions such as turning off data when connected to your Wi-Fi , and turning it on when not connected etc.

Thanks  

Karl.

Morning Dan

Really sorry, I didn't see your last reply.

I'm glad it's arrived and everything has connected up ok 🙂

Hey Debbie

Yeah did you see my previous post? 😊

Hi Dan

Has the replacement extender arrived?

[dannyw13]

Hey Debbie

V2 booster now online and showing up in the router as Keith said

Wifi calling does work when mobile data is off, must be firmware of the phone preferring mobile data over wifi which is fine, no option to change preferred anymore on android 14 unless carrier specific

Thanks for the support 😊

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Thanks Dan 🙂

[dannyw13]

Sure thing, will keep you updated 

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Thanks Dan @dannyw13 

It may still be worth testing with the new extender I've sent just to see how it compares.

[dannyw13]

Thanks Keith, makes sense 

[dannyw13]

I guess that makes sense, thanks for looking into this

One of my team has checked some settings on their Samsung handset for WIFI calling.

By default, phones will use mobile data for calling and only use Wi-Fi calling if the mobile signal is weak or lost.  This can usually be changed in the settings.....   

Tap Wi-Fi Calling, then choose your preferences:
Mobile network preferred: Your mobile network will be used for calls. If your network is unavailable, Wi-Fi will be used.
Wi-Fi preferred: Your phone's Wi-Fi network will be used for calls. If Wi-Fi is unavailable, the mobile network will be used.

In my testing @dannyw13 @Debbie-TalkTalk if this is an Android, you have to set the priority for WiFi calling to:-

• Call over Wi-Fi – if Wi-Fi is unavailable use mobile SIM
• Call over mobile network – if Mobile SIM is unavailable use Wi-Fi

I would guess that iPhones would be very similar.

Thanks Dan @dannyw13 

Ahh ok, just checked with the team and they said the signal for the extender appears to be strong but the phone may be connecting to phone data when upstairs instead of the WIFI extender. Switching into airplane mode makes it connect to the extender.

Hi Debbie 

Seems wifi calling has now appeared upstairs on the extender, in airplane mode, as soon as I turn it off wifi calling disappears

Thanks @dannyw13 

This was with the toggle to flight mode? 

The calls were made around 12pm?

[dannyw13]

No pain at all
