I was really stoked when I heard that Verizon was going to release the Verizon Network Extender, a femtocell device for directing cell phone traffic over your broadband internet connection. I live in a very rural area, and cell service at my house is non-existent. When I decided to order the device, there were not many user reviews on the web yet, however there does appear to be a few on CNET now. I decided to give it a try anyway, because as an existing Verizon Wireless customer with no service at home, it seemed like an obvious choice.
The Extender has been hooked up for a few days now, and so far it has been working great. Installation was simple, and phone calls have been crystal clear. My phone went from literally no service to four bars. The signal is strong throughout the entire house, including the basement and garage. If you’re interested, Verizon has a helpful installation video here.
If you live in cellular ‘dead zone’ like I do, I highly recommend the product.
