System Requirements

• 

An always-on broadband Internet connection with a minimum speed of 

300 kbps.

• 

An available Ethernet port on either your broadband modem or a router 

connected to the modem. 

Note: 

If you are connecting your Verizon Wireless Network Extender to a 

router, please ensure it supports Virtual Private Networking (VPN). 
Although most routers support this functionality, refer to your router’s 
product documentation to confirm compatibility.

Quick Setup

Setting up service on your new Verizon Wireless Network 
Extender base station is fast and easy. This section outlines the 
procedures needed to quickly set up the base station.

1.

Confirm your package contains all components.

2.

Review the "Important Safety Information" on page 19 

before installing the base station.

3.

Make sure that both your router and your Internet 

broadband modem are functioning properly. Refer to your 

particular product’s documentation for more information.

Note: 

A router with at least one free Ethernet port is required to connect the 

base station.

4.

Place the base station near a window in a central location. 

For best results, place the base station in an elevated location, such 
as the top of a bookshelf or tall cabinet.

5.

Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to an open 

port on the router (1) and connect the other end to the WAN 

port located at the rear of the base station (2).

Note: 

Plug the Ethernet cable into the base station before connecting the 

power supply.
