I'm a Mobile Broadband customer, so my internet uses a SIM card. Do I need to do anything else to get WiFi Calling working on my phone?
I find that when I'm connected to my WiFi at home, the quality of sound is poor and the call drops frequently, even if I have 5 bars of WiFi signal and 50Mbps broadband.
If I use WiFi at a cafe or other public place, WiFi calling works perfectly. Just not at home. Done lots of resets etc., all the usual things, but no improvement.

@bristolian Mobile Broadband, not Mobile Network 😊. It's used in rural locations, it has a mains powered router which contains a SIM card.
My router is a B535 with an external antenna + SIM.
WiFi is achieved delivered via 5x Omada EAPs, including outdoor grade, hard wired with PoE injectors from a D-Link smart managed switch. Giving WiFi coverage of approximately 3 acres at a full 5 bars. However when testing, I switch this off to simplify the architecture and just hook to the B535.
@Leanne_T Thank you! I would, but because the entire nation is drooling over the new iphone, I can't get through on 150. I'm hoping there might be some ideas here.

Mobile broadband uses the same mobile network as a phone, it's only the UE (user equipment) that differs.
For WiFi-calling, you will effectively need two SIMs. One in your router to support the router > MNO connection, but a subscription in your phone to allow calls to be made & received.

Thanks but I'm all good on the basics.

@Leanne_T Please can you change the thread title? My query has been split away from the original and now it doesn't make sense. Original for ref

What would you like the title to be, @MmmToast?

Thanks @Christopher_G How about: EE WiFi Calling over 4GEE - calls dropping and poor audio.
