About LinkBacksFor the 25 years I've lived in this house I've gotten almost no cellular reception and it doesn't matter who the provider was, they were all the same. I would lose calls just walking around the house. No reception in the basement. So during the 35% off sale last weekend I bought the Network Extender for $161. Hooked it up today and now I get 4-5 bars everywhere in the house including the basement.
Funny story, when I called tech help to register the MAC ID, 2 tech reps had no idea how to do it. They said I was the first person to ever call them to do this. Finally they figured it out and now I'm 5 bars!

02-19-2010 07:21 PMYes, I'm glad I got mine. BTW, if you dial #48 you'll get a voice saying, "You are under Network Extender coverage."

02-19-2010 07:28 PMHow do these things work? Can they travel with you? I go fishing down on the coast, here in Louisiana and the coverage at the motel is terrible. I also go fishing over at Lake Okeechobee in Florida and same thing. I have however not been to either of these places since getting my Droid on Verizon, so maybe it won't be an issue.
Thanks -

02-19-2010 07:31 PMYou connect it to the Internet and set up the GPS antenna. I believe it's VoIP, only there is no subscription.

02-19-2010 07:38 PMMy sister had to get one of those for her place. (Concrete & Steal high-rise building) It works so nice. I used to never be able to get calls when I was visiting, now it's no problem.

02-19-2010 07:47 PMThe extender has the GPS built in so you can stick the whole thing near a window. It also comes with 25' of wire you can unplug the GPS antenna and stick it near a window. I believe that's in case you call 911 and they need to know where you are. Originally Posted by BayouFlyFisher
