Honestly...if I knew how to setup QOS for Sprint wifi calling on my old Asus N66U, I would have. But I don't. So the QOS is a huge perk for me. I re-setup my entire home network, to ensure that the wifi calling would get prioritized over all traffic. Previously I had other items connected in the network before my wireless access point (N66U). So this I'm hopeful will help. My wife was having some wifi calling issues with our old router when we were streaming, and we have 50/50Mbps FiOS.

No

When I tried last summer when I got a N66u, Verizon told me my ONT didn't have Ethernet, so I hung up and tried again...this person said they needed to send someone out to do it. So I gave up...and just used the N66u as an AP.

Have you ever called Verizon CS? I own the Actiontec and it only took a few mins to put it in bridge mode, which gives the Asus WAN a public IP. Maybe one day I'll take the time to do Ethernet from the ONT...lol

Got mine today! Side note...I have an Airave 2.5+ on my account as well. Wifi Connect router is working great! I re-setup the whole home network, put my Fios Actiontec in bridge mode so I'm not using it for anything but passing the WAN IP directly to the sprint asus router. Things are much faster now!

I have both. Make sure the Airave is tied to a different than the primary line and it's fine it seems. My Airave is used by my parents and their home, wifi connect used at my house.

Excellent point I hadn't thought of!

I was on a Sprint account through my church a few years ago (long story...left church, had to assume liability of lines to keep numbers). It was pretty painless, and no new contracts were required. I did it all over the phone. Sprint took care of contacting the existing account owner, and then called me back. They really made it smooth, and this was a few years ago, when all Sprint CS was awful.

Yeah, the QOS for wifi calling improvement is much needed. I have 50/50Mbps FiOS, but since we don't have cable, there is sometimes 2-3 streams going, amongst other things...so the wifi calling was getting choppy. Hoping this improves the experience.

' That's weird...I got shipping confirmation for mine. I have an Airave 2.5+ on my account (not used for primary line and also used at a different than primary address, which Sprint was ok with). So maybe since it's for different lines, they are ok with me having both? On a side note...I wonder why Sprint went with the AC66U instead of the AC68U. The difference between the two models is minimal (I like the design for cables of the AC68U better, but that isn't a deal breaker by any means). Seems like a good opportunity for John Leger and his Twitter entourage to blast Sprint again. lol

One phone on my account is in a dead spot area, so they have an Airave at their house. Would Sprint still send me the wifi router for my house and let me keep the Airave for a different location? I honestly could probably ditch the Airave, but it works really well in the house and the 3G speeds over it are usually around 2.5Mbps. I guess I should go over there and get them (parents) with wifi calling and just ditch the Airave. The problem is the iPhone still needs to be connected to Sprint for SMS/MMS, so it might drain the battery if its searching for a signal. EDIT: Decided to just call...they have no issue with you keeping an Airave on one line, and a wifi connect for other lines. Took literally 3 minutes to call and have it ordered...super easy! A person answered the phone as well, no hold/wait queue.

Finally the black hole that is BWI is fixed!!

Awesome! I contacted Boingo and Sprint about which devices are capable...Boingo emailed me very quick with the list! This is great news!

This link is to Airave...but CS on Twitter gave me this link for new wifi router...? Edit: link... http://www.sprint.com/inhomecoverage

I just got off the phone with CS...they had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. I directed them to the press release, and said she said she had heard absolutely nothing. She almost didn't believe they would be providing wifi routers. So I guess we will need to wait a little more...maybe I will tweet Marcelo and ask him.

So where do we signup? Lol. (I wonder if Framilies are excluded from being "qualified"). A lot of good stuff going on for Sprint right now. Between the wifi router with Sprint QOS, wifi calling at airports, Canada data/calling...this new Sprint continues to impress me.

I've hit 20GB once...usually around 10GB. I find it hard to go above that, because I spend so much time on 3G in central Maryland still...lol.

Audio quality improvement is quite noticeable in my car. Don't care for the slight lag it has between channel. Doesn't work in the tunnels in Baltimore, and more overall interference which is more noticeable with HD radio. But overall...I love it!

All this talk about droughts and no water...and I'm over here just waiting for my back yard to dry up so I can just cut the grass...

Did anyone who added "Direct Connect" get a Sprint order status email? I talked to them and they said its related to the Direct Connect feature add-on...weird.

I was dropping calls on wifi calling yesterday on my iPhone. I'll turn it off for now, don't need it at home anyways. I have FiOS 50/50 tier, which consistently has pings below 20ms...so I'm sure my home wifi can handle it.

Yeah, when I had a GS5, if you did wifi calling, it would completely drop the Sprint signal and SMS would send over wifi just fine.

???????????????????????????????????????????????? Yes! I am so glad that is finally fixed. It was super annoying.

That's unfortunate.
