My Network Extender is on connecting to SeGW server

My Network Extender is maybe 60 days old.  It worked as advertised until now.  Now, it is connecting to SeGW Server, and that's all.  Please advise if the unit is broken so I can return the product for a replacement of refund.

Are you getting some error message on the extender?

I am in the same boat. I have two of them and they both have stopped working. I can connect to the SeGW but it doesn't complete the connection to the HeNB. I am getting error 9A and "SCTP HB failed over criteria" is showing up in my logs. Been working fine for years and this started last night.

and @scantoria , Maybe the server database authenticating the extender's MAC ID with your accounr has become corrupted.  Having a VZW tech support person remove your extender's MAC ID from the database and re-associate it with your account might solve the problem.

Yea I was going to call and try today. It's just strange that both are having an issue. One is on my personal account and one is on a corporate account and they are both not working. I have two ISPs at home and have same issue on both of them so I doubt it's a network issue in my side.

New extender owner here (1 week old), it was fine for the first week and last night was in "SCTP link failure" overnight. 

This morning I restarted it a few times, then it was flapping between being in service and "error 32".

For the moment it appears to have settled down and back in an operational state.

(And yes, I did try to contact tech support to see if they could look at see what the back-end was doing. The CSR suggested that I buy a new phone. sheesh.)

Okay. Glad I'm not the only one! mine started that with that same error 32 but after a factory reset I am only getting the "server error 9a". Unlike you I have not gotten mine to come back up.

@nedyah700 Unfortunately I can't say for certain if anything I did actually cleared the error. I tried a combination of the "quick restart", "complete restart" buttons in the web UI, as well as some power cord pulls. 

What I haven't tried yet is holding the extender over a bucket of water and muttering at it: behave or else! 🤣

... aaand it's back in "error 32".

I'm guessing there's something up with Vz's back end servers, although there doesn't seem to be a way to effectively communicate to them that they are having an issue. 

You'd think they'd want to have something like a "server status page"...

Well, that CSR was not tech support.  You have to ask for level 2 tech support or maybe call the National Accessibility Cust Svc Ctr at 888-262-1999 where I've received helpful extender technical support.
