Model: Deco X68  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.5

I finally got wifi-calling working on my phone by forwarding ports 500 & 4500, however, the app will not allow me to open these ports for other family members' phones. 

The error message that I receive when adding a second IP address is "Failed to save your settings. Please try again later."

Hi,thanks for posting question here.

Please make sure you are using latest Deco app from Google Play or Apple Store.

May I confirm model and OS of your phone and your family's phones? 

It is suggested fo follow this thread to check the settings on Deco app and phones.

You may try to set up address reservation on Deco app for your family's phones and try take port forwarding again.

Hi @Marvin_S - thanks for responding.

The phones we're using are an iPhone 13 on iOS, a Samsung A54 on Android and a Huawei Nova 5T on EMUI.

 

I've made a few changes  (Turned off "Mesh Technology" for the Smartphone on Deco APP and turned off "Fast roaming" and "Beamforming") based on the thread that you linked. I will test this out over the next few days to see if it makes things better.

 

 

When you say "You may try to set up address reservation on Deco app for your family's phones and try take port forwarding again." - are you saying that I should be able to open ports 500 & 4500 for multiple (reserved) IPs? All phones are using using reserved IPs, but I've had no luck in forwarding ports 500 & 4500 to more than one device at a time. 

 

I'm on the latest version of the Deco app and firmware on each of the decos.

 

Nick

  @Nick105 

Are you trying to forward an inbound (coming from Internet) TCP or UDP session received by the Deco on port 500 to several devices?

This is not possible.  One session can only be forwarded to one single device.

Hi  @yves_b - yes, that's exactly what I want to do. Thanks for the reply - that answers my question clearly.
