To do this you are going to have to administer actual changes to the firewall’s settings, so this should be done when you are managing the network yourself. What you are going to have to do is to enable certain ports that FaceTime is going to need to operate over your specific network. Apple lists these as “ports 443 (TCP), 3478–3497 (UDP), 5223 (TCP) 16384–16387 (UDP), and 16393–16402 (UDP).” Enabling these is not going to ensure that FaceTime will work over that Wi-Fi network and there may be additional changes that must be made, but in these cases it may be best to find an alternative firewall.
