Indeed! I use WiFi calling at home and was using an older NetGear dual band router. Coverage was spotty in some places (using 5GHz). Switched over to a newer Linksys AC1900 router and now coverage is great wth no dropouts.

As a note, I use 5GHz because 2.4 GHz has a lot of Wireless routers/access points in my neighborhood, specifically during the summer months, but only one other 5GHz user. No co-channel interference to deal with.
