Yes, I have tried both restarting and factory resetting the extender. Neither has resolved the issue.
I sent a message a while back, is anyone able to look into this?
It is possible the software on the extender updated, but that's taken care of automatically, and I don't keep track of it. The iPhone also has frequent updates, but I don't remember one right as this... See more...
It is possible the software on the extender updated, but that's taken care of automatically, and I don't keep track of it. The iPhone also has frequent updates, but I don't remember one right as this issue started. I haven't updated the pixel 4a in a few months. It's also possible the towers in the area changed, but I have no way of knowing that. I haven't noticed any change in non-extended signal in my apartment.

I have had a 4g extender (SLS-BU103) for 3 years with no issues. In the past few weeks, phones are not connecting to it. My apartment has very poor - but not zero - signal, and phones used to choose the extender over the poor signal. I have an iPhone XR from work and a Pixel 4a on Xfinity Mobile (a Verizon MVNO), and neither will connect. I'm am occasionally able to get the 4a to connect by toggling airplane mode, but that's rare. If I log into the configuration page on the extender, it says the status is In-Service, but there are no connected devices.
The new power supply didn't fix the issue.  I'm surprised too.
I've got a couple other networking devices in the power strip, and they've been doing ok, and I don't have a UPS or anything doing power cycles on a timer. However, your comment about the powe... See more...
I've got a couple other networking devices in the power strip, and they've been doing ok, and I don't have a UPS or anything doing power cycles on a timer. However, your comment about the power supply made me take a closer look at that.  Good recommendation. It looks like it's 3rd party and sort of sketchy, which is believable since I bought the extender used.  It's also rated for 1.5A and the extender itself says 2A. So I'm not sure how it even worked as well as it did for the first 6ish months, or how I didn't notice that before.  Oops. I've actually got a 12V 2A power supply that fits, so I'm going to try that one out, and see how it works.

No, and I don't know of any changes to the network it's attached to either. I haven't had any restarts in the past two days, the only changes have been lowering the transmit power to 30%, and that the weather has been good (although I never had restarts due to losing GPS before, just losing service).  I'll keep an eye on it.

Within the past month, my 4G LTE Network Extender (SLS-BU103) has been restarting itself around every 12 hours.  It had no issues for about 6 months prior to that.  I have tried power-cycling it, doing a factory reset, reducing the transmit power to 33%, and limiting the backhaul to 100Mbps.  Nothing else about my network has changed in that time.  It will restart successfully after about 20 minutes, but GPS signal issues (depending on weather) can prevent service from being restored immediately.  There are no logs about the failure, the first entry after restarting is "Boot Complete". Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't have a Verizon account; I'm using the extender for a device provided by my company (Galaxy S7) and a personal device (Essential Phone) on a Verizon MVNO.  I bought it from a third party.
