Here is my situation: at property where we camp, there is very little to no service. If you find the right spot you can get two bars of service which is plentiful for us. The 1bar or SOS is unreliable. Camp sits in a low spot, if I leave camp and head to the top of a hill (less than a 1/4 mile away) or just elevate by climbing on top of a 5th wheel trailer the signal gets much better (2bars 5Ge AT&T). We have power, and have the ability to elevate a repeater/device. We have no internet service.

Can you please let me know if there a repeater/booster/device that we can plug in and elevate and have it increase AT&T signal strength for a 1/4 acre or smaller area outside? (Not concerned with the signal inside buildings).

I bought a cell booster to use inside a metal shipping container. It works great to boost the signal for phone calls but I get no data. No website or app will load. Reason why booster works well for calls but not data? On google fi.

Hey there. We have a house in a hilly/mountainous area. Currently, when going inside the house, our cell phone signal is quite poor. When we go up the hill behind the house, which is about 500 feet. We are currently looking at cell phone boosting options to see what we can do to improve this issue. Everything I've seen so far uses RG6 coax cable and most kits only provide up to 75 feet. After doing some research it looks like RG6 is only really good up to 150ft due to signal loss. Could anyone provide any advice to a setup that could be used up to 500ft run and wouldn't break the bank?

Hi, I have a Netgear nighthawk m6 for my sailboat. I'd love to put an antenna on the mast, run it down and into my nighthawk. Any suggestions on what to get? I am on 5g Thanks

Hello I am a newly hired it support guy. I was tasked with installing a cell booster for the office. This office weird in a few ways I will say. It is very long and not rectangular really I would call it a long hall way with offices om each side. Additionally it is a kosher office so many individuals have flip phones.

I am looking around and most of these boosters have an outdoor antenna. What would be a good booster with an indoor antenna at the reception room does have good cell service?

Is this worth anything? I’m all 5G now and no longer need this!

Hey all,

I have a 6x10 aluminum cargo trailer that's insulated as my hunt camp. I bought this booster https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY8NJ33S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And it gives me a full 5 bars inside of the trailer, although the signal is super inconsistent and drops almost everything. I have the outside antenna about 30ft away 15ft up pointed at a cell tower.

For example, my download will be 4 with a 1 upload lasting a minute and then nothing at all for 5 minutes. Still while retaining 5 bars.

Need advice on what to do here. Signal is great outside of the camper.

Anyone know what this piece is called and where to find a replacement for it? Can’t find it anywhere on the weboost site. TIA!

I live off-grid with no line of sight and a weak 1 bar or 2 at most signal. I can use Starlink but would prefer a Verizon + antenna + router type option

I read the stickied post by sinakh, which was great. I then went to your website and came back here with the no direct line of sight issue.

Visible is powered by Verizon, and CEL-FI GO X G32 works with Verizon, but does it work with Visible? Anybody know?

I'm moving to a house with very poor reception for Google Fi. In the lower level (street level) there's absolutely no reception at all. What do you recommend? I've been doing some research but it's hard to figure out what to get. Concrete walls.

For several reasons, this is my ideal configuration (in attached picture)

question #1 should I use

75 Ohm antennas

or

50 Ohm antennas (with adapter between the F connector and antenna (probably N-female)

question #2 seems like there are cheap adapters, and expensive adapters with more technical details like pointing out 75/50 ohm. Are cheap adapters 1 impedance, and expensive adapters 2 impedances?

Appreciate your help. Obviously this isn't optimal but I'm locked into 50 Ohm booster and 75 Ohm cable. I do have control over which antennas will be used.

Have small (1k ft2) cabin in area w minimal cell service (for all carriers). We have Xfinity Mobile using Verizon network and have 1 bar service outside home. Phones for family ranging in age (iPhones from 8-14). Question: I read we have to have “permission” from carrier which seems odd as boosting all signals, yes? Question2: something along lines of WeBoost HomeRun a reasonable option for calls? We have WiFi 1gb service but cell phones not allowing WiFi calling . Help appreciated , new problem for us!

So in the past few days we have been setting up this cellular booster: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0897MKSKX

We tested to make sure it was working reliably before we fully set up the antenna on the roof, and are now in the process of finding the best spot inside the house for the booster side of things. Yesterday I did several tests over the course of an hour before breaking for the day. Today I went to resume the tests, starting from where I got the best results yesterday, and now the booster refuses to work. Out of the blue, all the alarm lights for all the supported bands stay lit green and no signal is received. I have moved it to every previously tested spot and got the same results.

The instructions say to reinstall the whole system, which ultimately can only mean in this case to disconnect and reconnect all the cables at each end, which I have done and it has solved nothing. Where do I go from here? I can't send it back - its been too long since we initially ordered it(we tested it immediately, it just took us until now to set it up) so its outside of return period.

Gulf of Mexico has a giant ATT network on old recycled b4 and b5 channels (850 and 1750).

Is there a way to force the go 32 to see these channels?

Works fine using a netgear mr6500.

Hi, I figured the community here would have some decent insight into my situation and idea... I live in a very rural Midwest US area where all my friends, family, and acquaintances for miles and miles in our area all have terrible terrible cell service. Most people I know are "fine" with their marginal data speed and connection for most usage. In today's world, you usually aren't too far from wifi anyway, or a lot of things can wait until you have wifi or a better data connection... But not so much with phone calls. It's immensely frustrating to pay a lot of money to these big carriers and have such terribly inadequate call reception where they constantly drop or can't even be made/received sometimes.

My crazy idea is to start my own MVNO little cell company as sure, a business model that needs to financially make at least some sense, but with the primary focus being to get a bunch of people in my area and my own family a notably better cell service experience. I know there would be substantial costs involved for use of, say, Verizon's network under my own setup, but wouldn't I have the possibility of a lot better reception if we would be able to then use outdoor cell boosters or roof top repeaters of some sort? If so, it sounds definitely worth it, but I want to know just what level of money are we talking, and how many people in the area would need to be on board with me to make it financially work? Or is there a better option or plan suggestion? Should we be building our own cell tower?

I was looking at the overland version, but maybe the RV version is what I need(despite not having an RV)..

Basically I want multiple users outside of the vehicle (at campsites,etc) to have increased signal, not just whoever is connected to the cars Bluetooth. Do they support this?

I'm sure this doesn't make sense, but I need a solution to connect to better, as in faster towers in my areas versus closer ones that show better bars. For whatever reason, we can have full bars in our home, yet basically zero useful data. It's all around our neighborhood,in Fort Worth. It's beyond frustrating.

I'm looking to install the CEL-FI GO X G32, but I can't find any information on how it actually works when trying to "bypass" closer towers.

Ground floor flat with no/connection or 0 bars when all windows are closed. Triple glazed aluminum (?!) large roller frame.

Opening even a small crack in the patio door / window, gets me 3 bars of signal.

Also I have on the wall plugs that say "sat 1, sat 2, TV, radio return". No idea if they go to the roof of the flats block or not.

As it's getting to winter I cannot keep the windows open all the time.

I really want signal indoors.

Would plugging in antenna to the wall sockets radio do anything? Can I drill and connect a passive antenna from outdoors to indoors? Should I replace my windows?

Buying a signal booster like this one https://eu.hiboost.com/product/hi10-5s-pro/ sounds expensive and an overkill (or possibly will fix signal for the whole block).

Any recommendations for my windows don't let 4g and 5g in?

Hello, I am getting conflicting information regarding this booster as the website claims it boosts 5g, but, looking at the bands it covers, it does not seem like so. We don't have 5g ultra in my neighborhood, but I do get Verizon 5g outside my building.

I need this as we live in an earth sheltered home with at least 3' of soil and the shell is minimum 9" of thick concrete reinforced with rebars.

Thanks

Recently was on a trip to NorCal, deep on backcountry roads and the Weboost exceeded my expectations. I know that it’s not possible to create cell service, but it was able to pick up service when my phone had 0 service. We tested it with 2 different providers and it was either really good with one (t-mobile) then poor with (Verizon) or vice versa. I highly recommend this device if you are someone who frequents the backcountry.

I bought a booster from AliExpress for LTE B20 (800 MHz). Without it, I only got 2 or 3 bars, and with it I get full 5 bars. However, when the booster is on my speed goes from 1Mbps (without the booster) to almost unusable (0.1Mbps). The outdoor antenna is on the roof, while the indoor antenna is on the patio. I also noticed my phone usually connects to 800+1800MHz, but my booster is only 800MHz and my phone doesen't always connect to it. Could getting a dual frequency booster solve my issue?

I have a newly installed Weboost Drive Reach with the sharkfin antenna mounted 13 feet on the roof of my RV on a metal groundplane. The cable runs down into a compartment on on to the amp. A distance of about 8 feet. The indoor antenna is about 1 foot from the amp and mounted vertically on a wall. Cell phone sits about 6 inches from the inside antenna. Signal goes from -118 db to around -72db when its active. However, download speeds from the hotspot go from 4 mb/s in fringe areas to no more than 600 kb/s. The amp LED does not show an error just solid green.

How can I optimize this to work better?

Thanks,

Rick

I live in alone in a shed I'll be converting into a tiny home , and currently run a generator for a few hours a day, which charges my Jackery (a portable 12v/110v power supply). I'm looking for an energy efficient 5g unit in the sub-$400 range. The Jackery seems to be somewhat inefficient at inverting to AC power, so 12v options might be good. Please let me know what works for you, and what sort of consumption figures you see!

Hi, first time posting here, lurked some while making a decision on brand.

Got a great deal off Facebook marketplace on the Hiboost 4k for $100 new and using it in a 30ft travel trailer. I have the outside antenna figured out and am mounting it on a 20ft expanding flag pole on the rear bumper.

The part I'm struggling with is where the optimal indoor antenna placement would be. The most important area would be the main bedroom at the front of the TT which has my work PC, with the living room next to it being second. The rear of the RV is the kids bunks and bathroom, not so important.

Where would be the best point to mount the indoor antenna for best reception in the most areas?

I couldn't do this on my phone, so here is a follow-up post with better pictures. Can anyone help me find the part I need to connect my Drive Reach RV Booster to my Weboost into broadcast antennas? We are going cross country next week, and I was trying to install it today. I bought the booster used off eBay and don't know about these connectors at all. I worry about finding the right size online because photos can be deceiving, and I need to figure out what I need to connect my booster to the antenna. Here are photos of both ends. A link would be amazing.

Hello All,

I am curious to know if a WeBoost model meant for residential (home studio, home room, home complete) would work if used in a vehicle? Also would a RV/Mobile Cell booster (Drive X , Drive Sleek, Drive Reach, Drive Overland, Drive OTR, Destination RV) work in a home/apartment?

Which of these products would work best for both applications?
