[Hidden-tech] Verizon Wireless Broadband

[Tom Gajda]

Hi Annamarie,

 

We live in a valley in Ludlow and our cell phones were unreliable in this
location.

 

We purchased a Verizon/Samsung network extender from Verizon for about $250.
The extender seems to work excellent. It is like having a cell tower in our
house. Four bars all the time.

 

Perhaps you have a different model or you need to revisit the installation
and setup of the extender.

 

Regards,

 

Tom

HI all, 

 

My family has a lovely old house in the middle of the National Seashore on
Cape Cod.  We are internet challenged and I thought folks on this list might
have some interesting and useful experience to relate. 

 

We have Verizon Wireless, a USB device which plugs into a wireless router in
the attic. After much searching I was able to find the one spot where the
USB device picks up a signal. I did this two years ago.  The device works
but not well. Last year I researched and bought for the house a Wi-Ex zBoost
YX510-PCS-CEL cell phone signal extender . For various messed up reasons, I
wasn't there when my sister attempted to install it. SHe has declared, "it
doesn't work".  Having read all the instructions for careful placement, I'm
not sure I accept her verdict. On the other hand, she's reasonably smart
about these sort of things. 

 

According to Verizon coverage map, our house has full data coverage and
spotty cell phone reception.  So has anything improved in 7 months? Has
anyone  on the edges of coverage put together  a good system that they
recommend? 

 

Thanks for help.
