4G Network Extender is NOT working with iPhone 7

I am experiencing that same behavior that Roadblocked is having in this thread: 4G Network Extender is NOT compatible with iPhone 7 - PLEASE HELP .

If I reset Network settings, the phone will reconnect to the 4G Network Extender.  If I attempt to make a call, it disconnects leaving me with no service.  It will not re-connect to the extender until I either reboot or reset Network settings.

The network extender that I am using is: Samsung 4G LTE Network Extender - Verizon Wireless .

The phone I am using is Apple iPhone 7 Plus 256GB.

I have HD Voice enabled on the account and the device via Settings>Cellular>Options>Enable LTE>Voice and Data.

Also, I have WiFi Calling active as well.

I can also confirm the extender is working correctly with other model of phones  such as Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Iphone 6 Plus, Iphone 6.

Please help.

JWLIONKING,


It disappoints me to hear about your experience with the Network Extender on the iPHone 7. I would be puzzled if other phones work but my phone on the Network Extender. Trying to determine the cause and comparison, what is the software version on the iPhone 6 devices?

JWLIONKING,

We want to make sure we get you connected to your Network Extender. You would want to make sure your phone is listed on your Network Extender. You would go to Network Extender Management and Security #1 http://spr.ly/6584BCz8p. I am confident putting this on your list will make sure your device is able to connect.

Unfortunately I am unable to manage.  Please see screen capture for what I see on my account: http://imgur.com/a/UzSAJ

Managed access is not available for 4G LTE Network Extenders at this time.

Thank you for confirming this. I want to check something here, can you try to turn off Wi-Fi calling and test it out? Does this help you connect?

Thank you for helping me with this issue.  I shut off wifi calling and I still get the same behavior.  Once in a blue moon I will be able to connect and make some phone calls but then it quickly kicks me off.

You are very welcome, we want to help get you connected ASAP. When is the last time the network extender was powered off/on? Have you by chance, been able to connect to any other network extenders without issues?
