Continuity dosn't work but AirDrop Does

Hi

I have problems getting the handoff/continuity working probably and am trying to figure out why.

I have allowed handoff between my mac (mbp 2015) and icloud devices
I have switched handoff on on my iphome (iphone6 with ios9), and suggested apps are set to installed

As i say, i can use airdrop just fine between the two devices but not continuity/handoff. im not sure how related the two features are, but from my searches it seems that most either have both working or none.

Does continuity/handoff use wifi? ie could it be something on my network that blocks the continuity/handoff port. I did run a small test by creating a network on my mbp and connecting the iphone to this, however this does not work either.

Do you have any good suggestions to what i can try to get it running?

Best regards
