Unlocking Bootloader Verizon Galaxy Note 3

[Android Central Question]

I flashed the OF1 firmware onto my phone (Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V) and successfully rooted it through dr.fone. Now I am having trouble unlocking the bootloader. I have read many different forums and watched plenty of YouTube videos and everything I've tried just doesn't seem to work....maybe I'm doing it wrong?? Also recently started having issues with my phone saying I have no internet connection but I am most definitely connected to my WiFi and it's working fine on my laptop. Any ideas what can cause this??
