Verizon E3200 Wi-Fi Extender: Compatibility and Setup

The E3200 is Verizon?s Fios extender for specific Verizon routers. Confirm your router model and whether the connection must be wired before choosing it.

The Verizon E3200 Wi-Fi extender is a provider-specific option, not a universal repeater. Verizon lists compatibility with the Fios Router G3100 and Verizon Router CR1000A or CR1000B; when paired with the latter, Verizon says the extender requires a wired Ethernet or coax connection. Verify your exact router and wiring before choosing an E3200, especially if you expect it to connect wirelessly. If you have a different router or internet provider, compare standard extenders designed for broad router compatibility instead.
