Why would the Samsung Extender need to connect to a cell tower? It connects the carrier via internet. Perhaps it connects to handsets?

This antenna will "extend" the Network Extender range, for situations where wider coverage is needed, for example if you have a large backyard, etc. You can also use it inside your home/office, not just outside as illustrated.

No the internet is not required for this cell phone booster amplifier. I tried it with a Wilson Yaggi(?) antenna suppose to be top rated so I could get reception in my home and basement. The amount of bar s gained was minimal to none so unless you can see a cell tower and have no tress or building blocking it this unit didn't work for me

I believe the Range Extender is designed to work with the native phone frequency. The Cell phone has to remain within 10 to 15 feet of the base unit or the voice transmission will be very intermittent

No the network extender is proprietary for the Verizon network. You need to buy a different unit called a Microcell for AT&T; phones.

AT&T; does use a Motorola SBG6580 model that has issues with extenders. If you have that model the extender may experience connection issues. Also, with what you have described with the metal foil insulation, an extender may not be a good idea as it depends on the WIFI signal of the router. If you have the option, running Ethernet cable and installing an access point would be a better solution.

No need. I have my main router hooked up to main FIOS Internet line on 3rd floor and the extender is on main 1st floor so that my TV on main floor and in basement can get internet by WIFI. It also allows me to get Internet outside. I can move around throughout the house using my tablets, cell phone, ipods blueray players and laptops using wifi. Son connects his game system and we don't lose connection. It's best to keep your network secured. Hope this helps.

Yes. The Samsung Network Extender will not function without a steady GPS signal. Apparently this facilitates 911 service.

There are 2 aspects to this. The GPS signal the extender needs from the outside and the internal "cellular" signal the extender puts out. As far as the GPS signal, if you can place the extender in a window that isn't obstructed by a lot of trees or buildings outside then you should have no problem getting a good GPS signal. If it is impossible to get the extender near a window you can buy the external GPS antenna which allows you to place extender in one place and run the antenna up to the window. With regards to the "cell" signal the extender puts out, a lot depends on the structure inside the building. If the steel building is mostly open with a few walls inside then you should get decent coverage. If there a decent amount of metal walls, a few block concrete walls and/or many wood frame walls then they all can cut down on the signal strength inside your building that your phones need to operate.

There is two prepaid companies that you can connect it to, one is PAGE PLUS and the other one is straight talk because is a 3g phone and a CDMA phone this is not a GSM phone it doesn't use sim card. you can look for both companies in Google they have very good prepaid plans and a very good signal because they work with the Verizon towers.

It creates a private network or extends coverage of an existing network. It doesn't create a connection to the internet. I think you are looking for a mobile hotspot.

I had no trouble setting up the unit with Verizon. They just need your cell number, address and a few other bits of info. The extender as worked fine for me.

This is an extension charging base, and does not connect to the phone line. You have to have a base unit (several exist, with or without answering machines) and then can have up to 6 handsets (including the base station)

You can't have both networks simultaneously connect to data service. It's either H+ or 2G. Can't be both.

You need to register the cell phones with it, the microcell plugs into the internet, reminder this only works for ATT cell

Hi, I don't have an extender to corroborate my answer to you,But isy believe that it wouldn't work with the extender. I hope you can get a more sertain answer from some one else. Good luck!

It requires a USB modem from a cellular provider to connect to the internet, you would need to have monthly service for the modem.

Yes, it does connect up to your base. Just make sure you have the right model. You can have up to 7 phones connected. They configure to your base very easy. I have added 3 to my base station with no problems.
