Network Extender has never worked

We received a network extender from Verizon due to the lack of coverage in the area we live - too far from a tower.
I have tried every weekend to get this thing going and I always get a solid blue power light, solid blue wan light a SLOW BLINKING RED SYSTEM LIGHT and a solid magenta GPS light.
I tried calling Verizon for support but the tech rep didn't know what to do and was trying to read through the manual, I think and the call dropped after about an hour (back to the lack of coverage issue).  I was so tired of not getting anywhere that I just let it go for the evening.
Bottom line is - this thing has never worked.  All I can find is that a slow red blinking light is there is an abnormal condition. 
Is there any further troubleshooting I can do or do I just need to see if Verizon can send me another one?

Update  -  now I have a solid red GPS light & the slow blinking red SYS light.  Will let it sit for an hour (as the sticker on the side suggests) and see if there's any difference

  • My network extender has stopped working...

    My network extender has stopped working. The SYS light is a fast blinking red, and the GPS light is a solid red. I have unplugged both the unit and internet router multiple times to try to reset them. I did recently switch the account over from my wife's name to mine to receive a larger corporate discount. Not sure if that would have any effect or not.

    No I haven't. I'm not quite sure how to do that. When I click on the plus sign next to the search bar on the My Verizon page, then click Manage Network Extender, it just takes me to the sales page of the extender.

    If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
    First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
    Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

  • My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

    My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

    Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
    I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
    Could you try it at somone else's house maybe?  If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
    You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

  • I bought a MacBook Pro in September 2011 and it has never worked well.

    I bought a MacBook Pro in September, 2011 and it has never worked well.  Are there known issues with this machine?  It just stops responding, usually for 3 minutes (especially when I'm working in iPhoto or Contacts).  I regret buying this machine.  I wish I could just go back to my previous MacBook Pro.  Any chance Apple will just exchange this for me without it costing me my other arm & leg? 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Ipad mini headset has never worked.

    I have a brand new ipad mini less than 2 months old... Plugged in my  headset and wont work and has never worked. The ipad mini has been in an otterbox since day 1 and yet customer service is giving a run around instead of investigating the issue. How can you look at the ipad mini and say I see a scratch on the outside so it has physical damage?

  • Keyboard shortcut for Copies has never worked in print dialog

    I don't know if this is the right place to report a bug, but it has always irritated me that the keyboard shortcut ALT-C to move the focus to the Copies field has never worked in the Adobe Reader print dialog.  It should work as the underscore exists in "Copies:"  I use the shortcut all the time in Office whenever i want to print more than one copy.  It would be nice if this would work in Adobe Reader also.  It should work as the underscore exists in "Copies:"

  • Photoshop Elements 12 installed on my PC has never worked.

    My Photoshop Elements 12, which I installed as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 on my PC running under Windows 8.1 has never worked.  In cannot find a catalog. My Elements 11 worked fine under Windows 7 and still works fine after I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe techs and have had my local PC professionals examine the PC.  They both concluded it is a bug in Windows 8 but if so I do not know to proceed.  Help would be most appreciated.

    did you see the confirmation?
    if yes, uninstall, run the cleaner and try reinstalling - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • IPhone 5 won't start or charge or turn on and was not dropped recently and the power button has never worked

    My iPhone 5 was not dropped recently however I went to use it and the screen was black, I plugged it in and nothing happened. When you call it it goes right to voicemail. The power button on it has never worked it always turns on when plugged in... Any ideas?

    Are you certain that the battery has not run out? Have you kept it plugged into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes to see if it is just needing to be charged?
    If it does not come on after being plugged in for 30 minutes or so, then without a functional Power button you cannot reset it, so you are going to have to try to put it into Recovery mode and restore it:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You may not even be able to do this since you cannot proactively turn it off, but you can try.

  • Hp network communicator has stopped working message

    hp network communicator has stopped working message appears all the time how do i get rid of it

    Thank you SimonO,
    This path,  Control Panel > Review your Computer's Status > Maintenance > View Reliability History, helped me understand better. What I can not see in the screen shot is what the error message says.
    Can you type out the information related to the HP printer errors. If they are not all the same maybe you could tell me a few of them.
    I am curious as to what it says under Source, Summary, and Action.
    I appreciate the screen shot but can not make out what it says. Do you get error messages any where else on the computer or the printer. Do you have any issues when using the printer?
    Have you tried clicking on Check for solutions to all problems at the bottom of the reliability history? If so what happens, if not can you please try and let me know what happens?
    Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you again.

  • Back to my mac has never worked for me [sigh] - Help?...

    Hi Gang,
    I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I've never been able to set up Back to my mac. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to it if you've got a dot mac account, all Apple hardware and (in my case) a static IP address for the Airport Base Station (which is now a 1TB TimeCapsule). I feel like I must be missing something obvious as it seems I see the problem appearing less frequently with posts on and off this board now that 10.5.2 is out. Have a missed a post here which solved something obvious?
    Here's the basic setup.
    Home Computer is G5 Tower, always on connected directly to TimeCapsule which is connected directly to cable modem. The TimeCapsule has a static IP address and I have a couple others which are unassigned. Running 10.5.2 with Back to my Mac Enabled.
    Laptop MBP moves all over town and country (and globe) with all the same systems and updates.
    I have 3 different dot mac accounts (all full user) and have rotated through them to see if that would help. I'm not 100% certain which one the desktop is running, so I've registering all 3 (one at a time, of course) to see if it would magically show up in the shared bar. I'm not entirely certain if I'd need to log in and out to see that. Am I?
    I run Apple Remote Desktop 3 when I'm on my local network, but have never used it across the internet. Tried it last night from London and realized there are configuration issues that I'm probably not aware of and just have not had time to troubleshoot it whilst on a family trip here.
    I did (only for this trip) password protect the screen (in Security prefs), but I thought that would at least present itself for entry if I was successful enough to actually access the G5 Tower. Yes? No?...
    I'm just kind of stuck and it would be so nice to be able to access the desktop on this trip. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix while I'm on the road?
    Very much obliged,
    Mick

    Thanks Dogg,
    I had a moment of light when I was able to access my wife's computer (which was on) and then remotely access the desktop. For about 5 whole minutes it worked! I checked the settings there and then made the really stupid mistake of trying to change the Screen Sharing settings away from Remote Management to Screen Sharing, and then totally lost my connection. I feel so dumb. I'd forgotten that turning one off to get the other on would obviously not work. [sigh]
    But at least I saw it work briefly on another computer.
    Any idea how to turn BACK on Screen Sharing or Remote Management, remotely?
    much obliged,
    Mick
