  • One more thing: Noble Planet, which sells this unit via Amazon Marketplace, is very responsive and helpful.
  • So let me spare you and the Amazon Marketplace vendor (Noble Planet) some angst, and tell you how to get past that problem
  • Highly recommend this product and Noble Planet, the distributor.

Reviews around location (5.00 of 5)

  • Where should I place my extender?The thing is, the ideal location to get a GPS lock may not be the ideal place for best coverage of the areas important to you
  • My first strategy would be to go for placing the extender itself in a nice central location for coverage to your phones
  • You can also access a GPS signal strength meter to help find the ideal location for the GPS antenna
  • If accurate *location* info is important to you then a used extender registered in someone else's name may not work for you

Reviews around tech support (5.00 of 5)

  • Verizon's Tech Support recommended the Samsung Network Extender as I live in an area that currently has very poor reception
  • Got two of these, made a call to Verizon to get them provisioned (had really great tech support, make sure you have the model number
  • However, I will say that Verizon's tech support did tell me that it was likely the firewall causing the handoff issue.

Reviews around antenna (5.00 of 5)

  • The saving grace is that both the GPS antenna and/or the cellular antenna can be remotely located from the extender
  • This antenna provides a significant boost in coverage over the aforementioned omni models because of its size, and because the signal is not being radiated in all directions

Reviews around magenta (5.00 of 5)

  • We hooked up ours and beheld the same solid magenta GPS light and rapidly-flashing SYS light mentioned by the other reviewer.
  • 4G is not all that important for a cell tower extender in your home/office because most people already have high speed WiFi
  • Just received the item today, set it up, and GPS light is solid magenta, which the user manual (page 17) states:

Reviews around plug (5.00 of 5)

  • Works as advertised - unit took about 15-20 minutes to start working after being plugged in for the first time - looked like it was downloading new firmware automatically.
  • 4G is not all that important for a cell tower extender in your home/office because most people already have high speed WiFi
  • The model # that has the correct "SMA" plug for your extender is 311135

Reviews around network extender (5.00 of 5)

  • Verizon's Tech Support recommended the Samsung Network Extender as I live in an area that currently has very poor reception
  • I purchased a cheapo $10 GPS antenna here on Amazon (External GPS Antenna with SMB female for Verizon Samsung 3G Network Extender plus led light key chain) with a nearly 10ft cable

Reviews around use (5.00 of 5)

  • - This is the first version of the extender introduced in 2009 and is no longer being sold by Verizon, but is available used/refurbished through outlets such as Amazon and eBay
  • These units are still available from Verizon's website, as well as used through 3rd party sites such as Amazon or eBay

Reviews around coverage (4.30 of 5)

  • We are out in the sticks and previously had terrible coverage
  • Let's start with the simplest cellular antenna replacement; an omni that screws directly in the back of the extender just as the stock one does, but provides greater coverage
  • The Wilson of course has an additional edge with its 12' included cord, allowing for placement rendering the most favorable coverage
  • Where should I place my extender?The thing is, the ideal location to get a GPS lock may not be the ideal place for best coverage of the areas important to you
  • It might make sense if you get good coverage with the Verizon extender around the house but have, say, a pool house or other remote building that only gets a bar or two of coverage

Reviews around unit (3.95 of 5)

  • These units are still available from Verizon's website, as well as used through 3rd party sites such as Amazon or eBay
  • With that said, this IS a finicky unit in one important respect.
  • As soon as the Network Extender was connected to the new router all the lights turned blue over the course of about ten minutes (as they're supposed to) and the unit began working
  • Works as advertised - unit took about 15-20 minutes to start working after being plugged in for the first time - looked like it was downloading new firmware automatically.

Reviews around model (3.61 of 5)

  • This improved model was released around 2010
  • For a few people however this may be the preferable model to purchase
  • Probably just a defective model as the box was in pristine condition when I received it.
  • Neither model will work however until all lights are blue

Reviews around extender (3.14 of 5)

  • Coverage on how to determine if your extender is cool with your router is in the following troubleshooting section...MAKING THE LIGHTS TURN BLUEa
  • Second -and this addresses the router incompatibility issue- temporarily plug your extender directly into your broadband connection
  • Just remember in all these examples that unlike WiFi, you can't password protect your extender
  • Verizon's Tech Support recommended the Samsung Network Extender as I live in an area that currently has very poor reception
  • It might be a bad extender, or perhaps you live outside Verizon's "licensed spectrum"
