I have the GPS antennae outside that came with my extender. Still not working. I live in a known "bad area" according to Verizon will this work?

I can't say for sure, but I had the same issue and this antenna worked for me

I actually spoke to My cellular phone carrier prior to purchasing this unit and they told me it's an indoor unit no parts of it should be outdoors it's an indoor antenna so the elements will effect and probably have damaged your unit.

I have one that does not work either. My home is in East Wakefield NH where there are limited towers, but I thought the internet and satellite would work around that. It didn't. I even received a replacement unit to see if it made any difference, It didn't. The extender does work fine in FL, where I spend 7 of 12 months, so I guess it is worth it in the long run.

I live in a very small town in the country where there is usually terrible service. I bought this and put it right near a window and it gives me just enough signal to receive text messages and SOMETIMES phone calls. I had to try a few different windows before finding a place that worked well enough. I did however buy another antenna that goes on the roof of your house, and that didn't work at all, so I wouldn't advise that.

I have no idea about the built-in antennae, but I've noticed no change in reception from the one that came with the Garmin. Everything works perfectly.

No, this antenna is made to replace the small stub antenna on the back of the unit, so that you can direct coverage to a spot where you need the most signal. For example, if the extender is in a corner of the house, then you would point the AeriaLight towards the center of the house to (possibly) get complete coverage. If you instead need a GPS antenna for the Network Extender, please let us know and we will check with the manufacturer and possibly publish it on Amazon for you.

This is just an antenna, so if your range extender has the correct connectors then it should work. As for the antenna itself, I found that the Alfa 9dBi SMA OMNI-Directional High-Gain antenna worked better. I recall that the AC1200 has two external antennas and therefore you should replace both. Antenna direction can make all the difference so if you haven't then google how omni-directional antenna work. Good luck.

I installed two of these antennae in two different locations and they work pretty good. check all your connections, you may have gotten a bad amplifier supplied with the antennae.

I had responded to your question but was talking about my Trendnet N150 wireless router so I deleted that post and replaced it with this one. I did purchase the Trendnet N300 extender but had mixed results with that. If you put the extender far enough away from the wireless router you're using, it may work fine in your situation. The problem I had was my phone and tablet would try to switch back and forth (it picked up both signals) and I wound up losing connections all the time. The only way it worked for me was to put it far away from my wireless ISP router and then only plugged it in while I was in that area of the house. It became such an issue for me that I stopped using it and purchased the Trendnet TEW732-BR (N150 wireless router) and just turned off my ISP router's WIFI function. The TEW732 has an external antenna and the signal worked everywhere in my 2,800 sq ft home. I simply used a network cable from my ISP modem to the Trendnet TEW732/N150 unit and turned off my ISP router's WIFI function. Hope this helps.

It sounds like you are missing a piece of equipment. Normally the antenna will attach to an amplifier from Wilson. One goes outside and the other antenna goes inside. The problem you may find if you are using it for internet connection is the frequency of your provider. Verizon 4G LTE is in the upper 700Mhz range while normal phones are 900-1800 range and this antenna is not suited for 700. The joy of different connectors for no good reason will cause a few problems. Verizon makes a router with outdoor antenna that works pretty well but again different connectors, (SMA). I ended up with two systems, one for my phone pointing to a cell tower with backup 3g coverage and my 4G system pointing another direction to a distant 4G tower but it works now. Try to find your towers first then work from there.

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.

You're not likely to improve phone reception by putting an extender in a basement. I got a powerline wi-fi network adapter (runs your network thru the power outlets to give you an Ethernet jack anywhere) and put this unit (which require an Ethernet cable connection) in a second-story room so that it had the best phone and GPS signal.

I only know it works great with my 1760 phone. I got 2 of these and now have perfect reception on my whole property.Check Uniden website: http://www.uniden.com/accessories/range-extender-designed-for-select-dect-60-cordless-phone-models/invt/drx100g

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

My need was to push a signal to an out building 250ft downhill from my residence. I placed the extender at the peak of the roof in the attic, (at the end of the house, closest to the out building). Plug the unit into a power outlet and presto I had a 3 bar signal to the out building. No additional connections or any other add-ons of any sort. Also, I'm using the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router (R7000).

Unless you have a defective unit your GPS will work just fine without wifi - but your mapping apps like Google Maps and Earth will not. You need an offline mapping app, and you need to download the maps to the device (either the internal storage or the microSD card). I use Mapdroyd for mine, and it works great, but there are many offline mapping apps out there. Also, make sure that your GPS is enabled. Go to Settings &gt; Location Access and turn the GPS satellites function on. I would also recommend downloading the GPS Status & Tools app to manage your GPS. It's free.

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!

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

the supplied antenna works pretty good. The only way i know to extend that is to use an app on google for android. not sure how good they work though.
