4G lte network extender authentication problem

[Coastal-Oregon]

I have a Verizon 4G LTE Network Extender, it has worked great for years, giving me cell service where there typically isn't any. Yesterday, my extender went down and a power off/on the device now stops at step 9 with the alarm 'Device Not Activated, Please Call Verizon Support'. Repeated reboots produce the same error. Calling the typical Verizon support number and even the support chats has not worked in my favor at all, does anyone have a way I can get to Verizon and see why the MAC address of my device is not registering on their network?

I am currently unable to use my Network Extender as well, and it has worked well for months.  Seems to have disconnected and started getting stuck at the SeGW segment since November?

I have reset to factory and reconnected numerous times.

The last listed EVENT is 

[Cleared]  Malfunction with the Ethernet port on the Femto. Ethernet cable not connected. A link down failure on the Ethernet Port.

BigMook22, we want your network extender to work like it should, so we're right here to help. I appreciate the details you've shared. What happens when you dial #48? What is the status of the LED lights on the extender? -Alicia

I have the "connecting to SeGW server" (it will stay there forever unless I restart it), and when I dial #48 it will tell me that I am not under coverage.

I have this happening on 2 different extenders, in 2 different locations, using 2 different ISP's.   (XFinity and Spectrum) and they both quit working around the same time.

Could be a server glitch that has a corrupted database and needs to be reset for your account.  Have technical support remove/re-attach/re-register your MAC ID (s) to your account to see if that clears the issue.

I was thinking "glitch" as well when the first one was found offline, but having the second one offline as well, when it is on a totally different ISP...?

More likely something with my account, but was hoping for more response from the VZW support?   Guess I'll have to take my chances at the 800 number.  😞
