Verizon Cellular Network Extender 
Installation

In the US, if cellular coverage is not adequate
for communication signal strength, a network
extender is available through an IASD.
1. Place network extender near the most

centrally located window. For best results,
place extender in an elevated location
such as the top of a bookshelf or tall
cabinet. If already using a Wi-Fi router,
keep extender at least 2 feet (61 cm)
away.

2. Connect one end of the provided Ethernet

cable to an open port on the router and
connect the other end to the WAN port
located at the rear of the network
extender.

3. Plug the power supply into the 12VDC

power port located at the rear of the
network extender and plug the supply into
an available wall outlet.
