    I won't enable uPNP for security reasons.  It has been a week since I rolled back to 4.65 and WiFi Calling has been stable through out the home all week (all Access Points). It's the only way I can receive and make cell calls from my office, located in my home.

    Something is wrong with 5.31 (probably occurred sooner than that since I haven't tested previous releases, other than 5.30 which didn't work either).

    Since we have no reliable cell service, I must stay on 4.65, which makes me uncomfortable.  I posted my settings in original post how I got it to work in 4.65, but as topic reveals, these settings do not work in 5.31.

    One thing to try is set in config > security policy > session control the UDP session time out to say 3600

    You know this would solve this problem...

    But NAT may also need source port option to destination any port...

    Thanks for feedback, I will look into your post for further detail.

    The destination port number isn't always the same. I haven't had much time to deal with this, but I appreciate your feedback on this topic.

    I just saw your PM, I've been backed up with my schedule, sorry for delayed response. I did send a PM back to you to coordinate.

    Will try and schedule this middle of next week, and I will call forward my cell phone to my Voip Line.

    Sent you PM. I have since updated Standby firmware from 5.31 to V5.35(ABAR.0) and testeing WiFi-Calling (the Version I'm running). WiFi calling appears to be working much better!

    I had to stay on V4.65 since WiFi calling would not work on V5.31.

    I don't see Port 4500 being blocked. Will keep an eye on logs!
