My extender used to show 3G and 5 bars of strength on my phone. It now shows either 1G and 5 bars (off & on), but mostly shows 4G and 1bar while network extender shows on the phone. I used the #48 to verify the network extender but again it's off an on. I spent a hour on the phone with Verizon tech support without any results. Does anyone else have the same problem? I'm planning on the purchase a new extender to rule out the unit. Maybe someone can save me some money.
Let's try to save you some money. As these devices are rarely powered off, first thing to try is powering the network extender off for a minute and turn it back on.

I tried powering down my Internet modem/router and network extender. I also unplugged the internet cable from both units. After waiting for several (10) minutes, I plugged my modem in again and waited again for 10 minutes before plugging in the extender. I continue to have the problem after trying this several times.
I just received my Samsung Network Extender. Brand new and delivered from Verizon. Plugged it in. And the GPS and Sys LEDs are both showing problems. GPS is solid magenta. Sys is blinking red. Quick internet search shows this is a common problem. The manual on your site points that this may be a defective unit. Read though various message boards and I have gotten the same conclusion. However, it is a bit hard to believe that this brand new unit that was opened and installed is defective out of the box. Either way. In need of help. I am now wondering if I need to set up my router differently as I have read something about that on your site. This is all super confusing as I do not have a network degree.
And before you ask. Yes I have tried it in an open space. Using the GPS cord near a open window and a cloud less day with nothing but birds chirping in its way. Tried restarting it. Tried different ports. Like I said. I've been through the FAQ sections.
Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

Mikehamm45, we definitely want you to be able to enjoy the stellar service in the comfort of your own home. Let's look more into this together. The internet connection must meet this requirement for the network extender to work. Minimum of 1MB upload and 1MB of download for voice. 3.1 MBps is required for voice and 3G. QoS should be 80%. Jitter should be less than 15 milliseconds. Packet loss should be less than .25%. You can find these information by going here http://bit.ly/1Vwghrk. Is the network extender not picking up on GPS only?

The Internet connection is well above the metrics you cited. Network extender is not picking up GPS or phone. Both the SYS and GPS are not working.

You need to open up ports on your firewall...a few things I have learned about these:
Once you get through your firewall, you'll progress to slow-blinking red SYS and solid-red GPS until you get a GPS lock....then GPS should cycle to blue
Judging by this extender. Don't get a new one
