This item had clearly been opened and handled before it was shipped to me. The seals on both ends of the wireless extender box (not the shipping carton, but the product box inside) were broken. The accessories inside were not packed like you would expect when getting something new. They were in a beaten up ziplock bag. It appeared to me that the contents of the box had been opened and handled a fair amount before they were shipped to me.
Despite all these warning signs I followed the directions to see if the extender would work with my phone. The first two or three times I turned my phone off and on the green light did blink indicating that it recognized my phone. I then hooked up the exterior antenna, but the extender never again recognized the phone.
After fooling with this for about an hour with no luck I gave up and called for a return merchandise number. The product and the condition it was in when I received it were both very disappointing.

Wondering if anyone has tried with an Iphone signal. In my house I get a good AT&T signal for my Motorola phone but my Iphone doesn’t do well at all. Need some help

The first one arrived broken, the second WOULD turn on, but did nothing for reception for my iPhone…So, too bad, I wasted my money. Don’t make the same mistake.

I bought this because for some reason our house is a Verizon wireless dead zone. We mounted it in 4 different locations in the house & with the antenna inside and out and at every single location the base unit flashed and said that the signal was too strong. Too strong? We have never gotten more than 1-2 bars in our house.
I boxed it up and am sending it back to Amazon. Decided to try the Verizon VOIP wireless extender instead because it looks to be no hassle compared to this unit.

Despite following the installation directions exactly, this $200 flimsy plastic box doesn’t work. It doesn’t send a usable signal unless you’re huddled right next to it, crossing your fingers, and doing the chicken dance… and even then it doesn’t work. Most of the time when I try to dial out, I get a network or connection error. If I manage to get through, my calls get dropped as soon as I say, “Hello.” As much as I’d love to blame it on AT&T, I can’t. Don’t waste your money.
