W610W/W611W as router phones

[AaronJ]

On the Supported IP Phones page, there are a number of Fanvil phones listed under the heading "Can work as router phones for limited number of phones" including

• Fanvil W series: W610W, W611W (Portable Wi-Fi Phone)

However, when I attempt to add a Fanvil W611W to a 3CX v20 u2 (Build 715) system, the option to "connect directly" cannot be selected.

I would never advocate for using a Wi-Fi device as a router phone to support additional normal phones, but it certainly would be nice to have the W611W establish its own tunnel connection to the phone system. Is it currently possible to provision Fanvil W610W/W611W as a router phone, and if not will this capability be coming soon?

The “outer page” listing all the phones shows that some of the models can be router phones. If you click the X series you’ll see it’s only the V2 model s for instance.
The page for this phone shows Under Construction for me.

In the list of the supported devices you can see the description "(can be Router phone)", once you press on the model series you will be clarified which exactly devices can be router phones.
The mentioned devices are not marked as router phones.

As @SteveITS pointed out, the link for that model series directs to a page that says "UNDER CONSTRUCTION - COMING SOON". But thank you for confirming that the W610W/W611W does not currently support router phone functionality. I do think it would be very useful if these could eventually be made to directly connect via the tunnel protocol given their portability, but perhaps the technology involved precludes that.
