Hi,
What kind of router are you using? It's possible that if you have specific
Firewalls enabled that this is restricting continuity features. Also, are you
getting any notifications when attempting to enable continuity between devices.
Usually, for Text Message forwarding and such, notifications are sent between
devices if it takes. That is, a confirmation dialog is sent to allow/disallow
the continuity connection. If this confirmation is not sent/received, then the
relationship is not approved, thus continuity is not actually enabled.

Hi,
In FaceTime and iMessage, try with only the phone number as the active part of
your Apple ID. That is, on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, check or deselect the
blahb...@icloud.com address, with only your phone number selected. It works on
my devices that way, on my wife's devices and others that I've assisted with.

There are really two separate components to “Continuity”, but both require
iCloud. They differ in how they use the network.
For iMessage SMS and FaceTime phone-call proxying, the devices just need Wi-Fi
proximity and access to the same iCloud account. In my experience this part is
reliable—certainly absent other iCloud issues, anyroad. Just look for the
settings to set it up in the Settings app or in System Preferences. It’s not
all that intuitive.
The rest of Continuity, the so-called “Handoff” feature, and AirDrop and
Hotspot, are in my experience (and it seems that of many others) the far more
fragile part. It uses iCloud, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (which some
hardware simply doesn’t have). Wi-Fi on Macs requires dual association and is
only supported by certain adaptors, but because of a design problem in the
chipsets, frequently fails. In my opinion, it’s not only not worth worrying
about these features since they can generally be made up for with a bit of
extra effort, but in any event they are so unreliable as to be of no real
practical use.
