Another update. Since installing Starlink we have an intermittent problem with WiFi calling. We are out in the sticks with no mobile signal and rely on using broadband for phone calls. I have searched t'internet and it seems to be a known problem to do with IP addresses but without a definite solution. Has anyone else here experienced similar problems or even better, found a solution?

 

Just to eliminate the obvious when you've encountered this issue have you rebooted both the router and your phone/device?

Have you tried changing your DNS service. Can do it either on the devices (WARP) or in the actual router. 

So I just changed the phone DNS from automatic to off. The calling and text services now appear to be working. Do you know if there are any security issues with the changes I have made?

Yes I have tried that without any success.

Not sure about security when it is off.

I use CloudFlare as they only keep limited data for 24 hours.

There are a number of free, and paid for, services.
