My wife's new iPhone 6 won't connect with our Network Extender.  I have reset the extender and the phone connected for a short time and now won't connect at all.  Any ideas?

The solution to this is to change your LTE settings (Settings - Cellular - LTE) from Voice & Data to Data only, otherwise the phone gives LTE preference above everything else. Just had to do this for my brand new iPhone SE as well and it solved the problem immediately.

This was the fix for my Iphone X. Had to change Settings>Cellular Data Options>Voice & Data to LTE, VoLTE Off when it was on LTE, VolTE On. Works like a charm now.

Worked for me also.  After sending the first Network Extender back as defective and working with Verizon for 5 hours over 2 days.   I was ready to send the replacement back with the same problem -- then luckily i did a little research here!!
