Hello,

Don't disable WMM function, which is useful for your device.

You say it prevents WhatsApp Calls, do you mean you cannot open the WhatsApp Calls? When the call cannot work normally, can the client access the internet?

For your issue, which band does the client device connect to? We recommend you to set two different SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G, then check if the client has this problem when it connects to 2.4G and 5G band. 

By the way, you can use different channels to have a try. 

Hello, forrest

After you start a video call and the recipient accepts the incoming call, Whatsapp sends this error message and the call is closed (in other words, Whatsapp quits trying). Intenet works normally. Whatsapp text messages work normally.

The client was connected to the 2.4GB band. I will try with the 5GHz band. They have different SSIDs.

I will also try changing the channel.

Thanks

Hi, forrest

I unset the channel from "auto" to a fixed channel and the video calls sometimes can be stablished. I used Wifi Analyser to check a less used channel.I tested using the 2.4GHz carrier. Using the 5GHz carrier even the voice calls could not be stablished. Do you think there's a problem with this specific EAP245? I bought it last week.

Thanks

Hello, Questionmark

I am not using the guest network.

Once I could stablish a voice connection and the 2 peers were in this same Wi-Fi network.

Many times the connection fails even if one peer is outside the network. So I don't think the problem is related with client port isolation (which I could't find where to set).

Thanks for the ideas.

Hello,

From your description, we think it may be related to the wireless environment so when you change the channel, it will be better.

Please choose a uncongested channel to decrease the interfere.

And do you enable Airtime Fairness, Band Steering, Load Balance? If yes, please close them to have a try.

By the way, we will release a new firmware in the next two days, you can download it from the website by then to have a try.

Hello, forrest.

I was using Band Steering. I will have a try and wait for the new firmware.

Thanks

I'm sorry that unsetting Band Steering did not solve the problem. Sometimes the video calls work; most of the time don't.

I am still waiting for the firmware update. The only file available on the US TP-Link site is the same I have: 2.1.0 Build 20181107.

Hello,

The latest firmware of EAP245v3 is released, you can download it from the following website:

Good news!

I dowloaded the new firmware and I'm waiting for a non-peak hour to install and test it.

Thanks

Hello

Well, it didn't make any difference. Sometimes the voice Whatsapp call works, but most of the time, when the recipient of the call touches the phone to accept the call, the error message pops up.

Should I send the device to warranty maintenance service? The people there probably will say that there's nothing wrong.  Any other possibility?

Thanks
