4G LTE Network Extender call quality issues

Enthusiast - Level 2

Hey.  I've got poor cell service at my home and I'm using a 4G LTE Network Extender.

Problem is incoming audio glitches in-and-out frequently during calls. Not ALWAYS, but generally for at least part of every call, where I hear only every other second of audio.  As far as I can tell, outgoing audio is fine; no one has ever complained.

Here are the answers to the questions you're likely to ask next:

1. Pixel 7, fully updated

2. 900mbps up and down, from my phone. Running a Deco mesh network.

3. No one else is hogging  bandwidth when the problem occurs. It happens when I'm the only one home and no other demands are placed on the network.

4. Extender is set to IPv4-IPv6 (hybrid), DHCP on, transmit power 100%.

5. Wi-fi calling is on, and I  see my phone connect to the Extender during test calls. Problem occurs regardless of distance to the Extender. 

6. Extender connects fine. 

Who's got a fix for me or something to try?

Thanks!

7. In all other ways, call quality is reliably fine.
