BLUF: trying to get our cell phones working properly again..
I have fios service with the Fios-G1100 router. We are in a townhome and our verizon cellular service is downright terrible inside our home so I also run a Samsung 4GE LTE Network Extender. 99% of the time, this brings our cell service from 2 bars of 3G to full 4G LTE service. Every once in a while, we have the problem I'm having right now.. Our phones report full 4G service, they make phone calls just fine, but they can't transmit data, no texting, no web browsing, no e-mail sending. nothing.
In th epast, it's mysteriously fixed itself, but today it's been like this almost 18 hours or so and I happen to have some time to investigate..
Our phones are a Galaxy S7 Edge, an Iphone 6S, and an iphone 6 Plus (I know, all older models, we're on a budget..) and they all respond the same.
What troubleshooting can I do? I am computer literate and do know how to log into my router, but it's been a number of years since I worked in the IT field so I'm having to relearn some things (since when did it become so hard to kick an IP address off your network without banning it? that used to be a quick command+the IP in dos... now I have to click through like 5 different menus and enable things to remove an address in the router page..)
