trouble with network

[Beverlycoltrane]

I haven't been able to use my note 3 in my house for a year. I recently purchased a extender verizon said I needed. My phone is a 4G. The extender is for 3G. A tech now tells me I need a booster . What's the difference in an extender and a booster?

What you need depends on what the issue is with using the device. Is it an issue with the service from Verizon? Does Verizon service work in your house/area? Is it an issue with WiFi? Verizon has a device that uses your broadband internet connection to provide cell and cell data service to your phone. https/www.verizonwireless.com/home-services/hotspots/network-extenders/

You'd have to work with Verizon though about your issues. An extender takes a signal, and re-generates it again using the original signal, a booster is pretty much a stronger antenna or an amplifier that strengthens the original signal. Think of it as a bucket you try to throw 20 feet. An extender is two people tossing the bucket 10 feet to one, then the second tosses it the other 10 feet. A booster is one guy that is stronger tossing the bucket himself 20 feet.
