Is there a WLAN configuration that just works for Wi-Fi Calling? If so, could you please share it?
I shouldn't have to be a network engineer to get this to work. I know they like to say every site is different and needs a ton of analysis, but I just don't think that's true. I have neighbors, but there's nothing bizarre about my situation.
When I connect to Wi-Fi outside my home, my phone instantly establishes a Wi-Fi calling connection to Verizon. I was at a Dr.'s office today and joined their free wi-fi. My cell connected to Verizon, then within a few seconds, it established the Wi-Fi tunnel connection, indicated by "VZW Wi-Fi" in the phone's status bar. I'm certain my phone settings are fine.
On Ruckus, my phone won't automatically establish the Wi-Fi Calling connection. I have to toggle airplane mode a few times, then it will connect, but it will invariably drop when I do anything that uses a lot of data or for other reasons I haven't been able to figure out. Sometimes it will maintain the connection for hours. Calls get logged under Wi-Fi calling in the GUI if the call is made or received when it has the VZW Wi-FI connection, therefore, I believe my firewall settings for port forwarding of udp 500 and udp 4500 with the Verizon gateway are fine.
My Wi-Fi calling profile for Verizon is correct: Set to Voice for wo.vzwwo.com.
I've been analyzing the R510 system logs and also capturing communication with my cell from the AP and examining the capture file using Wireshark. Nothing is leaping out at me when the connection drops. I confess I'm not a Wireshark/network packet expert but I don't see anything obvious.
Thank you.
Here's my configuration:
ICX7150-C12: SPS08095f
R510: 200.14.6.1.179 (latest firmware, where Ruckus has now added OFDM Only, BSS Min Rate and Mgmt Tx Rate to the WLAN Radio options in the GUI).
I have 3 R510 APs, one on each floor of Lennar house, so I set the middle floor AP as master that doesn't provide Wi-Fi service. 2 APs provide ample coverage for my open floor plan house.
I'm using Background Scanning every 180 seconds on 5 GHz and don't see interference very often in the Event logs.
I'm using Verizon G3100 as my Fios Router and using it's Firewall and DHCP.
All 3 APs get their IPs from Verizon DHCP.
The AP's noise floor is typically -106 or -107 which I understand is pretty good (not much noise)?
I've got 30 clients spread between 3 WLANS. About 20 are 2.4 GHz. Changing the Power from Auto to Full or any other level doesn't make any difference. When I look at the power in the AP info in the Unleashed GUI, the power is always Full (even though it's set to Auto).
CAC Call Admission Control is currently set to 50% but it doesn't matter if it's 10% or 70%. Ruckus knowledgebase said to enable CAC.
Here's my WLAN configuration:
ruckus(config)# WLAN Philippines
