Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the Android thread, but, here we go.

I have a Motorola Edge Plus 5g UW on a Verizon plan.
My house is a deadzone.

For awhile, I had the phone set to use WiFi when the mobile network wasn't available, which is pretty much anytime anywhere inside my house, and that worked fine.

The other day, I upgraded my router to a Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 (the old one was also a Netgear, but I can't remember anything except that it was on Docsys 3.0 and capped out around 500mpbs)
Ever since I upgraded, my phone will not let me make calls or do any of the mobile stuff over wifi like it used to. I've tried every troubleshooting thing I could find online, which basically amounted to "Reset your network settings, disconnect/reconnect the wifi, reboot the phone"
Still nothing. Anytime I try to make a call, it says the mobile network is not available and I need to connect to a wifi network, despite the fact that I'm already connected to it.

I contacted Verizon tech support, and after trying the same troubleshooting steps, they said the issue must be on my ISP's end.
When I contacted my ISP about it, they said that made no sense and certainly wasn't a them problem.

Is there something else I can try? Or barring that, any recommendations on a cellphone booster?

Thanks. I shot Netgear a message about the ipsec alg thing, so if that doesn't work, I'll splurge on the Verizon booster that Duckman mentioned.
