I'm sorry, I'm assuredly posting in the wrong place. Unfortunately, searching "network extender" returns all sorts of wireless network extender.
I have been running ASUSWRT-MERLIN for quite a while without any issues. However, Verizon is sucking lately in my area, and they sent me a network extender to make up for it. It works for outgoing calls and maybe 10% of incoming calls. 90% of incoming calls just go straight to voicemail while on the extender.
I have reset everything there is to set on my phone, and Verizon has been basically useless. Finally they said it may be a router issue. First thing says to put the router into the DMZ. I found where to do that, but everything I've seen basically says that only a moron would enable DMZ on a home router.
Then it says to unblock ports/IP addresses. Here is the content, and I'm not sure what to do with this information. I'd appreciate any help (from "If ANY calls get through then it's not the router" to "Use DMZ, you'll be fine" to "Piss off", though the last one seems a little mean).

- The following ports and IP addresses must be unblocked for the Network Extender to work properly.
- It is necessary to enable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) (incoming and outgoing) for specific ports and/or unblock specific IP addresses on the modem/router.
- Refer to the Internet Service Provider (ISP), Network Admin, or equipment manufacturer for assistance with these settings. Examples of router setup are provided here; however, Verizon Wireless doesn't support 3rd-party routers.
