TMO WiFi calling breaks WiFi data

I'm noticing a strange bug and wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

On Marshmallow, when I have WiFi calling enabled with WiFi Preferred set, the phone locks into WiFi calling mode instantly.

However my WiFi data gets disrupted as a result. Various web sites and apps that use data get stuck and must be refreshed multiple times to get everything to show up.

Once I turn off WiFi calling, everything works normally. Quick and speedy.

I don't remember experiencing this issue on Lollipop, but Lollipop would have a hard time enabling WiFi calling at times.

Looks like you are on the preview version. Update build to mra58k or while you're at it then flash to latest build which includes all stagefright apps.

That's not a preview image... N and R are updates.

That's right. Unfortunately, no one knows what the specific difference is between those two updates. And since T-Mobile has yet to grace us with an "official" 6.0 update, there is also no knowing whether N or R is the best fit for T-Mobile's WiFi Calling set up. I'd go back to MRA58K to play safe since that is the last known "universal" build for the N6.
 
I really don't need WiFi calling so keeping it disabled for now is not a deal breaker. If T-Mobile ever approves a newer update I'll try that.
