i am trying to add a Verizon network extender to my home due to poor cell signal. It was connected to my modem and will not initialize due to a “LAN/firewall” issue. I called Verizon, I called my ISP and was advised to check my firewall settings in my modem. I have no idea how to do this and what to do if I could find the firewall settings. Any assitance would be appreciated.

SB8200 - trying to add extender due to poor signal
Best answer by plemans
Well, the SB8200 might have 2x ethernet ports but its a modem only device and most ISP’s only support a single device connected to it.
You need to go modem---->Router---->verizon extender.
Don’t plug the extender directly into the sb8200
