SS2 connection to a 4g network extender
My house is in a very poor signal area so I had a 3g network extender from Verizon. They dropped support on that extender and upgraded me to a 4g extender. So I had Simplisafe send me a 4g network card for my SS2 base station. Simple, right? Not so much. After spending a half a day talking to Simplisafe and then Verizon, we gave up trying to make it work. I put the 3g card back in the base station and it worked if I put it in the perfect spot in my house where it could pick up signal from the closest tower. Now I see that as of January 1, 2020 I have no connection to dispatch. I suspect Verizon may have turned off 3g signal on the tower I was communicating with. I put the 4g card back in my base station, and I have no blinking red light, but I still have no link to dispatch. So my question to the forum is : Does anybody have a SS2 base station with a Verizon 4g cellular card working with a Verizon 4g network extender? It works great with cell phones, so I think it should work with the base station. I also have considered that maybe I just have a defective 4g card in my base station. Any suggestions would be better than what I have now, which is nothing!

Beyond that (or toward getting another cellular module), try calling in the mornings when they first open (9 am ET), then pressing #1 for sales, someone should answer sooner.

I have a 2nd generation base station that was upgrade to a 4G sim card. The local verizon tower keeps going offline, so Verizon sent me a 4G extender that now has our phones working well. Like others in this tread, the base station does not link to the extender and I have no connection to the monitoring station. Is my only option an upgrade to the latest base station that has wifi capability? I really do not want to replace all the sensors!
