Great, with "reasonable" limitations

See update from 4 stars to 5 stars below my original review: Original: I live in east-central Minnesota in heavily forested land 5.3 miles from the nearest cell tower. Our outside phone signal was, at best, -102dB. Our inside was -115dB, which was unstable and constantly dropped calls. Now, with the booster on, inside I get -96dB within 4 feet, and -105dB within 10 feet. The phone "clips" and skips outbound a bit-- inbound is clear, but calls do not drop. For data, I only could get ~<1Mbps outside (zero inside) and now get +/- 4 Mbps. (DSL is typically 1.5Mbps, so now have decent internet). Signal outside is not stable. Wind and rain seem to play tricks in the forest. But when things calm down, I can connect with the outside world. $900 ain't cheap, but in heavy forest with low satillite views (so satellite internet not available) and no DSL, I have no other choice. I guess limitation to within a few feet of the inside antenna frustrates me on the one hand, but on the other hand at least it is something, whereas before I had virtually nothing. Maybe after I live with it for awhile I'll up the rating. For now it is very good but not great. Considering what I had to work with, maybe I should just be grateful for the small, but limited, miracle of weBoost. Just trying to help folks set proper expectations... Update a week later: Raining and storming hard now. Outside signal Is -104dB, but in reality it is unusable with calls failing and no internet. BUT, inside boosted signal is -96dB and internet is slow but usable at 1.5-2 Mbps- a bit better than dial up -- but useable for news and weather and emergency warnings etc. This is far beyond my expectations. So I raised my rating to 5 stars, because I can't really ping weBoost for physics. You can't just boost the signal, because that boosts all the noise and garbage. You have to boost selectively, and weBoost has figured it out. Everyone I talk to about boosters says they are worthless. Maybe that's the case for "most" but not this weBoost.

Excellent customer service and product

Installed weBoost Connect 4G-X at camp on Toledo Bend, Milam Texas. I had no service using Nexus 6P with an AT&T sim card through Tracfone, my wife was able to text only, with her Verizon iPhone. I located the cell towers in our area, pointed the directional antenna in the direction of the tower and all green lights on the first try, was able to face time with the grand kids after installing. The following weekend was Memorial Holiday weekend, it struggled. I told the wife probably because of us being in a popular vacation place and everyone trying to use cell tower, so I called customer service to verify and they said that was correct what my thinking was, they were very courteous and said if I had any problems in the future to Please call back and they would be more than glad to Help. Since then this product has worked wonderfully except on a busy weekend. I'm writing this review to inform people that this is a very Good product along with customer service and that when you have more people on a holiday weekend trying to use cell towers it is going to struggle so it is not the products fault. You can think of it as a Friday afternoon on a long Holiday weekend and everyone trying to get somewhere on the streets and highways, congestion. More towers and streets would need to be installed to eliminate the problem. Hope this was Helpful and once again Thanks weBoost customer service.

Worked great for me. 1 bar of unreliable 4g to 3-4 bars of stable 4g.

Okay, purchased this item last Friday and received it this Thursday with a few other things I ordered. I just set it up today (Saturday) and it works very well so far. I have Verizon as my carrier. I had about 1 bar of 4g (LTE) on one side of my room near my computer, whenever I moved to the other side it’d switch to 1x or 3g with only 1 bar and most often I’d just have no service. When I installed this device, my entire room has 3-4 bars, sometimes 2 and the dB measurements are great. It also worked for most of my house, my moms room now has 1-2 bars instead of none and the dB readings are good. My room is 300 sqft, her room is 400 sqft. I got cell service outside of my house towards the front which is closer to my room before I hooked this up but it was generally 1 bar of LTE or 1x. Similar to my room. Haven’t checked outside yet but it works everywhere we want it to and it works well. We have 11 acres so as I said haven’t checked yet but so far so good, even if it doesn’t cover all of the acreage it’s not a big deal. Words of advice: 1. make sure you can get cell service outside of your house before buying this. It specifically says in the description it most likely will not work if you can’t get cell service outside. 2. It does not come with a pole. Either buy one or make sure that you can nail it in on your roof facing the cell tower and it’ll fit nice and flush. 3. When hooking up the inside antenna, make sure you push out the brackets that hook onto the panel that’s in the back of the antenna. Completely forgot to do this so I had it unscrew the bracket and push out the things the panel slides onto. Seems like common sense but it slipped my mind so just a warning.

DIY Install beside a lake with 1 bar signal

We live in the country, built into the side of a hill. We are about 15 miles from the nearest tower, and generally get only 1 bar cell. In our downstairs living room, kitchen and anywhere in the hill, we have no (zero) signal. We had to go onto the porch or outside to complete a call. Despite cable internet and Wi-Fi, we still dropped calls and had poor performance. I purchased this unit and did a temporary set up running the cords through the halls. We immediately saw a huge improvement with the majority of our house now getting signal. Neighbors also get more signal. Still have a few places in the house that are spotty, but these are located far from the receiver, and not a big deal. I used the web site for tech support, and it was OK, but instructions to notify Verizon that we had a booster didn’t work, and hard to follow (likely Verizon’s fault more that WeBoost.). The directions for tuning were OK, but we really need an app that makes this process much easier. I did find some apps that helped—(some are on the website) Site Locator US, OpenSignal, CoverageMap. I tried the website instructions to use the signal indicator on my cell phone; I had both an IPhone (didn’t work) and an android (worked, but slow). Ultimately, the combination of apps and android signal strength helped me tune the direction after I rerouted to the roof. I would have liked more hints and tips about securing the wire across the roof. Not a good DIY set of instructions. Of course, they recommend a professional install, but who wants that?

THE VERY BEST!

Had poor reception out here in the sticks had to walk down street 20-30 yards to get steady 1-3 bars no fun in the winter or rain. Had an older weBoost that got 1-3 bars in my super insulated house only in the living room area. Installed this unit, with some great advice from weBoost on where to point the antenna. Now getting a consistent 5 bars on the first floor and an unheard of 2-4 bars in the basement and second floor, thank you weBoost, worth every penny!

Rural Internet Solutions...

If you are looking at urban or suburban solutions, skip this and look for reviews that more closely match those scenarios. The principles involved are the similar, but this review is targeted to those particular to the challenges rural people face when presented with few or no options for decent voice or internet communications. Ok, background. 1.5 miles from nearest Comcast/xfinity mark. Quote was 46K to run a node to my location, and I’d be basically carrying all the load for all new customers added downstream of me with zero reimbursement after the fact. So that was no solution. AT&T switch for ADSL was maxed, and even if there would have been a port available to me it would be at a whopping 1.5mbs up/ .5 down, so that too was out. That left HughsNet. Super slow and laggy, hyper expensive but it was all we really had at the time so i suffered for a year on that. AT&T Wireless LTE at my location was on the low end. Two bars at best in house. I decided to focus on this as a possible solution. I worked in IT for AT&T Wireless for 11 yrs and still had friends and contacts there in the RF Engineering side of the company, so i did have an edge most won’t be able to leverage. The RF engineer was able to give me coordinates for the tower closest to my house. I was able to locate it at night through line of sight and confirm that from a few spots both on the ground and on the roof there was an area where by holding my phone to that direction i could get a strong, consistent 3 bars of signal. I had to go by bars because my iphone was 11iOS and that update screwed up the field test mode needed for decibels. It turns out the bar reading was just fine anyway. He recommended the weBoost as a signal booster. He told me to ignore the square footage specs for the house size and the specific models and get the top of the line spec’d for a house much bigger than mine. So, i did. Wow. 3 bars turned to a solid and strong 5 bars. So impressed! To sum this up and give you the best advice i can: * Ignore low reviews here. Most can be chalked up to either not enough signal to begin with or they did not follow the EASY instructions provided. * Do you homework prior to purchase. Most of you probably already know where in your house AND outside on your property that you get the best signal anyway. Go with that and refine. Scout for info as best you can on where that tower is located and how you can best grab it from the highest place at your home possible. *Maintain BOTH vertical and horizontal distance between the receiving antenna and the inside broadcasting antenna! THIS KEY TO SUCCESS! *With the above rule in mind, identify the best possible location for the indoor broadcast antenna. Situations and how you use data and voice vary, but i chose a location roughly central to the first floor of my home. Most calls and computing happen here for me. Make sure this antenna is oriented in the OPPOSITE direction as your outdoor receiving antenna. Using this allowed me to us mobile LTE voice throughout my home at great signal. By moving my mobile hotspot (AT&T netgear hotspot with Wifi netgear cradle found here at Amazon, with 25g unlimited plan) to a location close to the indoor antenna (close, but not too close. You need to move it around a few times and be patient to find a cinderella best location) I am able to run my entire household of internet connected devices at very acceptable speeds. That being relative term, i average 20mbps up/ 16mbps down. Works for everything i need here, period. Netflix, remote vpn for my work and wifes work connections, xbox...everything. I can’t explain the relatively high 16mbps up speed. Thats unusual as up is usually about a 3rd of downlink in most other settings I’ve been in, even wired high end provider connections. I’ve seen as high as 50mbps downstream at times! I am about to swap the netgear hotspot with a MoFi 4G LTE/Wifi router, because of overall robustness of it for this application and to overcome the 15 device limitation of the netgear hotspot. Ill update the results when i have them. I’ll also update with some photos to more clearly illustrate my particular situation and the solution used. I am extremely happy with the WeBoost device. It does exactly what it says it will if you implement it as instructed. Period. Full stop. I hope this helps others in our situation. Also note: this is provider agnostic. My ‘closest’ neighbor came here to look at the solution i used as his plight is the same as mine. He has a Verizon iphone. His signal pegged off the meter on speed test! He about flipped and has ordered one as well. It is likely that the tower i am aimed at via line of sight is either...close to a Verizon tower, and it might be as i see three light beacons on the horizon where Im pointed when looking at night or...AT&T and Verizon are co-located on the same tower. This is common, especially so in highly desirable tower locations near high traffic areas. You can spot a collocated tower as it will be a single tower with two or more ‘ring’ arrays of radios going up the tower.

It worked GREAT for our rural home!!!

I'm a believer! I have no idea what we would have done if this booster didn't work for us, thankfully, it did and we are so grateful. We rented a rural house that we were told could get internet; we were lied to. After researching our options over a 2-month period, we discovered we had two options: satellite access or using our cell phone provider (Verizon). Satellite was not a good fit for us due to the delay involved in using Skype/FaceTime, and it was simply so expensive with a 2yr contract and the data involved. We decided we'd go with Verizon, but we could not get a useable signal in our home for data or for voice. We worked hard to find the cellular provider that had the closest antenna, strongest signal, etc... oh man, it went on and on and took a long time. After using the test mode in our phones (which WeBoost helped us to do), I was able to crawl around on our property looking for the best signal strength and found it on the roof with Verizon. We decided that with a 2500 sq ft house (1 story) that we'd go with the 4G-X to be safe, and that turned out to be the right call. I managed to get the shortest cables possible to do all the connections (to preserve signal strength), grounded the unit and installed the lightening protection. Once we got it all connected, we now had internet and phone inside the home! Not only that, but it was useable internet speed (LTE) and we could stream Netflix/Hulu and video chat (though only 1 stream at a time). Don't forget to calculate in a new data plan with your cell provider if you are using this WeBoost for data. In addition to this product, we also purchased a Pepwave Max Br1 4G Wi-Fi router that we put close to the WeBoost antenna. The router was not cheap, but it let us put everything on Wi-Fi, to include our home computers since they don't interface with the 4G/LTE signal, and it also let us share our internet with guests and family members who had no signal on their cell phone. Do not confuse a 4G/LTE Router with a regular Wi-Fi router that you can buy at your nearest electronics store; they are not the same. As great as this kit was for us, it WILL NOT give you a signal in your home if there is no signal outside your home, so determining the strongest signal on your property and how much cabling you'll need to run is a CRITICAL first step before you order the kit, and you can determine signal strength with your smart phone. I spent a lot of time on the phone with the techs at WeBoost and they were extremely knowledgeable in helping me get up and running, and also advising me prior to purchasing the unit. If you have questions that you can't find answers to in these comments, call them! If you have any questions about the cell booster, just ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them promptly. Good luck and I hope you get up and running soon! I know how frustrating it is to not have connectivity!

Amazing

This system is amazing, it is very easy to set up it's all plug and play. I put the antenna facing the general direction I think the tower is located and it brought my signal from 1-2 bars 2g at the best of times to full 4g lte. It got dark before I could finish install but if it does this well with a basic set up a permanent install will be the ticket. I live in rural America with no land based high-speed Internet so I have had to go with Verizon pay per gb at the tune of $300 a month, now with this system I can go with t-mobile unlimited for a fraction of the cost and it will pay for itself.

really boosted my signal

After reading several reviews I decided I would give this one a try. I have bought 2 other less expensive antennas around $400 that did improve my signal but not as well as this one. They also seemed to burn out in a year or 2 and the signal was limited to really just my office. So far this one is awesome ! I live in a house with a metal roof and cell phone service in my rural area is maybe 1-2 bars LTE if I am lucky. This booster gives me pretty much full bars or minimally 3 bars throughout my 2 story house. I am very pleased as I work from home and use my hotspot for internet access.

Doesn't help that we are on the Sprint network and frankly they don't have the best coverage on the east coast

Just purchased a new house and turns out it's in a valley! Doesn't help that we are on the Sprint network and frankly they don't have the best coverage on the east coast. Thank goodness for the weBoost! We haven't properly mounted the external omni directional antenna, but we get excellent cell coverage when the unit is turned on and we have proper separation between the antennas so there's no interference. My only complaint is that the Connect 4G-X amplifier unit isn't rated for higher temperatures which means it cannot be installed in the attic. I would prefer to be able to keep that unit in the attic and only need to mount the indoor panel antenna within the main living space. I would definitely recommend this for anyone with poor reception in their home.... I would just make sure they would be able to install themselves or we might need to start a business installing weBoosts!
