We have a cluster of 3G Network extenders that have worked fine for years. But they all stopped working a few weeks ago, we have verified power, GPS and internet connectivity, and all of those lights go blue, but the System light flashes red slowly then fast and then it reboots itself. We thought it was a network issue but I have taken them to a different site in a different internet connection and same problem. We’re these shut down early as part of the 3G shutdown? I’d like to get an official answer from VZW, I called support and could not get an official answer. I know about the 4G extenders but they present a problem as the signal is very strong and the data is very fast, we have a data limit on our internet connection and last time we tried a 4G extender, people unknowingly used large amounts of data and ran us over our limit. I just need these for basic phone service text and 911, the 3G extenders have worked perfectly for that. I knew they were going away but I thought we had until the end of the year. If not we need to figure out a way to throttle customers on the 4G extender without negatively impacting voice calls as happens when I throttle it from the LAN.
many insight here would be greatly appreciated.
