1. Review these Verizon LTE Network Extender Requirements

• Internet Access: High speed wired broadband with minimum download speed of 10 Mbps and upload speed of 5 Mbps, 20 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up or higher is recommended. NOTE: Home satellite broadband access is not supported.
• A Router/Modem: The Verizon LTE Network Extender must be connected to an available LAN port on a router or modem with always-on internet access.
• GPS signal: The Network Extender requires a continuous GPS signal from the provided GPS antenna.

2. Position Your Verizon LTE Network Extender Consider these factors when choosing a location for your Verizon LTE Network Extender:

• For best results, place your Verizon LTE Network Extender near a window where a strong GPS signal can be acquired. For better GPS signal strength, please pull out and unwrap the GPS extension cable stored at the back of the Network Extender to position the GPS antenna as close to a window as possible. See the GPS Troubleshooting section for instructions.
  NOTE: A GPS signal is necessary for the Verizon LTE Network Extender to work properly and to provide your location if you dial 911 in an emergency.

• Place your Verizon LTE Network Extender at least 10 feet away from products that generate electromagnetic radiation (e.g., a microwave oven).

• Your Network Extender needs to be plugged into a power outlet.

• The Verizon LTE Network Extender can be placed on a flat surface, such as a table or shelf, or mounted to the wall.

• Plug the Power Adapter into an available outlet.

4. The LTE Network Extender will turn on automatically
