Review: Verizon Wireless Network Extender - CNET
CNET have published a review of the Verizon Wireless Network Extender cellphone accessory. 'Just like the Airave, the Verizon Wireless Network Extender is made by Samsung, which might explain the similar design. It looks like a regular wireless router, and on the front are four LED indicators for Power, System, GPS, and WAN status. On the back are an Ethernet jack, a charger jack, the power switch, and an antenna that can rotate up to 180 degrees. Also on the back, toward the top, is a built-in GPS antenna. The GPS is required to maintain network-timing updates plus to provide E911 services. If you can't get a GPS signal where you are, you can pop out the antenna, attach a cable to it, and position the antenna in an area of your home with the best GPS signal. In general, you should try to set up your Network Extender next to a window for the best possible signal.'
