Verizon Extender Will NOT Connect Wirelessly

Here is my updated 2024 Verizon Fios Experience. I am happy with the service overall. Just got a little frustrated when I wasted so much time!

i had my router like 2 feet from window i moved it right next to window and noticed a dramatic change in download speed for the better sometimes these older houses have old pipes that are metal can mess with signals dont even think im gonna use the extender at present.

[BigelowInventions]

Thank you so much for sharing this info! I was driving myself crazy trying to get the extender working wirelessly. After checking the offical troubleshooting guide, I can confirm that this extender doesn't work wirelessly with the recent router. I feel like they need to update their installation documentation in the box to clarify.

[henrybostick]

Thank you very much. saw plenty of videos that had the old router and now I know why.

I just upgraded from an old Verizon, and the extender does not connect to my router. The extender starts off great then goes back to yellow. I have moved all around my house with no luck. My new router and extender came together, I never upgraded until now and the wifi is horrible. I miss my old router with was the black one.

I just upgraded my Verizon Fios internet from a paltry 75/75, which I have had forever to 300/300. It has been a major nightmare. I can't even go into it because it has totally stressed me out being a senior or 75yrs having to deal with a cancer diagnosis. Horrible service, the only person worth anything was the installation person who they eventually sent out because it was so messed up! Next time I will probably switch to Spectrum. How much worse could they be?

I was told I had to pay $150 to put a coax cable in. It’s crazy that they even market its “wireless” total waste of time and loads of frustration.

[genewebb]

Thank you for the video. We just switched over from Xfinity to FIOS. Our house is wired with yellow ethernet cords. Do you think if I get the extender and attached to the extender, will it work. Do the router and extender need to be next to each other for this model?

[shootinglikeimkobe]

I got the extender about a year ago and it’s been working swell now out of the blue now my extender don’t work at all it shows only a solid red or yellow light I can’t get it connect wirelessly anymore. I have the same extender and router

[Lil_Thomas_III]

So I have the E3100 still because my mom forgot to send it back, but at the same time I also have the newest router. I also happen to have been sent the E3200 WiFi extender as well and just like the common trend, it doesn’t work wirelessly and I have no coax/Ethernet in my room that I can connect to. Would I be able to just unplug the new model (CR1000A) and plug in the old one (E3100) and continue using the internet seamlessly or is there a process I have to follow? I know the extender works on the old one I just want to know if I can just unplug the power and WAN cables and then just plug it into the old router with no hassle

[jameshanbury]

I have the CR200A and the new extender cr1000a but i dont have a ONT will they work with out the ONT?

[futureman]

I have the SAME SITUATION AND I AM NOT HAPPY

Where can I learn THEN to connect COAX OR ETHERNET ?

I own Square Router with Round extender

[jamescunningham]

My old g3100 router started dying recently, and asked verizon to send me a new one. They sent me a new g3100 2.0, a e3200 extender, and a new cr100a router. I was promised my bill will not increase, so for now it all stays. Just figured out the extender will not work wirelessly with the cr series router, but luckily in the basement where the extender was going is access to another lan, and ill be using the second router down there for my personal gaming network. Zero use for the extender lol

[tonyp]

Thank you for letting us know. Had the same issue now but been reading this person use TP Link AX3000 wifi extender and he has no issue. What do you think about that extender?

[TrumanJPray]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

[mattlensis]

thanks for the video, i was considering getting this router and you saved me from a lot of wasted time and frustration.

[marvinc]

Oh yeah I got 2 extenders from Verizon for free and both of them don’t work wirelessly with the new router

[ccruzer]

had the same problem with router and extender, Verizon sent me the old router without any problem. Now everything is fine.

[Enerolisa]

I have the old router and 2 extenders connected wirelessly and it works very well. I recently called to change my router. The children complained that the Internet was weak around the area of their bedrooms but Verizon didn’t want to change my router I founded weird but they did send me another extender to be connected wirelessly and now everything is wonderfully fine.I understand now why they didn’t accept the change.

[DaryusGazder]

Tried connecting this wirelessly and surprise it didn’t work. Called customer service who said they would send a technician out to connect it via cable for an additional $200. I feel more than a little hoodwinked by Verizon. The router was working fine until about a month ago and now the internet cuts out in places it didn’t. Can’t help but feel this is done on purpose so we have to get the engender. Not sure what to do next.

I’m connecting mine with a coax cable and I have issues with it disconnecting I don’t know what’s wrong. the router is downstairs and extender is in my room connected with coax. My PC stays losing connection I don’t know why and it stay blinking not sure why if it’s connected to the coax.
