Does anyone have much experience with this unit? I've got this one operational but noticed that the phones in the house will default to trying to connect to the weaker signal from the local towers, draining their batteries faster. Only toggling airplane mode will connect them to the extender (confirmed by #48), after which both work as designed.
 
I have used one in a factory before. Basically on verizon if you can get 2 bars from a tower, the phone will not flip over to the extender from my testing.
 
Further digging revealed a recommendation on a VZ support forum to disable HD voice/enhanced LTE. It's working so far.
The 3G extender did not do this, FWIW.
