Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Home 4G Cellular Signal Booster for its effective signal boost and easy installation process. Many users reported a significant improvement in their signal strength, with some even gaining an additional one to two bars. The simple setup process was also widely praised, with customers highlighting the convenience of installing the booster themselves. However, some users expressed concerns about the limited coverage area, relatively high price, and range that was smaller than advertised.

    It helps, I have signal in dead spots in my home. But don’t get exited. 427 dolllars for 1-2 extra bars in my phone with no change in internet speeds...it’s a “no go”. I have to climb to my house roof which is crazy risky and high for this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad product. But 400 is crazy and that crappy antenna gives you signal in an average bedroom, don’t think you will have signal around the floor. So in theory I have phone calls in some part of my house, with crappy internet speeds with AT&T, but I will embrace word calling and same 400 dollars

    A Skeptic's Review. This Works!

    We have a very weak signal. It was difficult to get a reliable cell connection outdoors let alone inside our metal roofed home. Readings outdoors ranged from 118 - 124. We could get a fairly reliable 1 bar on the end of our house toward the nearest tower. Very dense forest separated the two. Being 72 it took me about 4 hours to install the Home Room booster. We now have reliable 3-4 bar service in our home and our hotspot is amazing as well. The signal strength does start to fade when more than 25 ft away but I have not dropped a call anywhere in our 1600 sqft home since installing. Go for the multiroom version if your house is larger. Ha it was rainy and cold I don't know why the photo is green.

    I have an older model Wilson signal booster im not even sure how many years ago I put it in at least 5 and it still works fine for our upstairs bedroom. This one was easier to install than i expected I just aligned the new antenna with the old one and registered it and we now have reliable internet down stairs.

    We live in the country & have a hotspot offered as internet from Direct TV which is HORRIBLE internet service. Our cell has never worked inside our house(not sure if our metal roof affected that) but we now can talk on our cells with no drop calls & our internet is 100 times faster. The price is hefty BUT we wished we had bit the bullet a whole lot sooner. Bad internet service and phone service makes you crazy. This booster has made us all VERY HAPPY campers!

    My Bother's house has a metal roof and metal siding. The signal from Verizon outside is one and sometimes two bars. My phone could not be used inside the house unless I was at a window. I installed the booster antenna on the roof and turned it on. Wow! Four and five bars in the house and the data is pretty fast!

    This thing is not magic, but it does work. I live in an apartment with a balcony and inside the apartment I am lucky to get two bars of 4G on Verizon. Usually it's just one bar or sometimes 3G. Outside I can usually get three bars. I bought this thing after looking at a zboost model and calling their customer service for a recommendation. He said this one might suit me better. It is a little bit picky on the direction you point it. Having a balcony I have about 180° to play with and most of that is not helpful, which was discouraging at first. But finally I was able to find an angle that does wonders. It boosted my signal inside the apartment from the aforementioned 1-2 bars to an easy 4 bars. Sometimes even 5 but that's still pretty rare. Either way, it's a huge improvement. Both data and call quality are definitely improved! The good thing about this kit is that it gives you a lot of mounting angle options both vertically and horizontally. Before you get this, or at least while you're setting it up, I highly recommend downloading a signal meter to check your quality, since the bars aren't always that accurate. There's plenty of good free ones on the Google Play store. To give an example using specific numbers from the apps I use, I went from a weak signal of between -110 and -115 without this booster to between -76 and -88 with it. That's worth it in my opinion. But it is a pricey item so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it to you.

    When installed properly this can take poor cell phone reception and internet connectivity to be amazing. Using Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 hot spot on AT&T wireless. went from 1 bar(-111) to 3 bars(-82) more bars is better lower numbers is better. Download went from 7Mbps to 38Mbps. Upload went from 1.7Mbps to 7.81 Mbps. This is in a very isolated area. Only other option is Centurylink with 1.5Mbps download and 700K upload and that is when it works. This also helps greatly with cell phone reception in same area. Cell phones were always dropping calls and sound was bad. Now have not had dropped call in 10 days and sound is great. Most important is outdoor antenna placement, it must be correct to work properly. It is a little pricey but when you basically have no other choices that work well it is worth it to have connectivity.

    I am torn: maybe I shouldn't be so picky and given it a 5 star rating. It did boost our cell signal. We went from 0-2 bars, to 3-5, depending on where we are in proximity to the Weboost. We are now able to receive calls, which usually didn't happen or were very bad. My hesitation on giving it 5 stars was in part for the instructions, which mostly used pictures. If they weren't going to have detailed written instructions, then the pictures should have been bigger to tell which screws/washers went where. Also it stated that a person could use the vents on the roof instead of a pole. Wonderful! But they figured the pipes were 1-2 inches and ours were 3 1/2 inches in diameter. So we had to rig up hardware to make it work. They had nothing in the kit to fasten the cable so it wouldn't sag, hang down, etc. We will be getting some fasteners. I also suggest a hose clamp or tie down or something to hold the cable that comes from the outside antenna so the weight of the cable doesn't pull unnecessarily on where it connects to the outside antenna. The cable has some weight to it, considering how long it is. The instructions said to use an app like Open Signal to find the nearest cell tower, but it didn't show my carrier. So I got the app, Network Cell Info Lite, for my phone. It showed me exactly which way to point the outside antenna for best reception. I have to admit that registering the product (FCC rules say you must) was very simple. The easiest part of the whole install. The Weboost website and more information, both on the products and on installation. I wish I would have researched the Weboost more before I purchased the model I did, not because I am unhappy with it, but because if I had, I would have gotten the "bigger" one that handles rural and large homes. We are definitely rural, and it would have been nice to have it boost the signal anywhere in the house. But it is working in our dining room and kitchen which is where we congregate for most of our phone calls. So I think we will keep it until it dies. (I have no idea of its life span.) Then get a bigger one next time. We will keep using this, until we are sure it will work consistently, then say goodbye to our landline.

    Start off by saying this device was purchased to go inside a 5th wheel camper. Device worked not great but did give us a couple bars to get by for the weekend. Unit became very hot. Cant imagine using it 24/7 365 probably won't last long under the heat it was producing. Overall find it to be a bit on expensive side for the setup effort and overall result!

    I am glad I got the weBoost Home Room LTE Cell phone booster. I bought it for my lake house in the Texas Panhandle. I was only able to get mostly 1 bar, and sometimes 2 bars on my AT&T iPhone 11S. There were so many phone calls with garbled speech and texts not sending, and very slow internet on my hotspot on my phone. I never found the nearest cell phone tower by using the Opensignal app, but it didn't take me long to get a good signal by simply mounting the outdoor antenna, facing abour 155 degrees to the southeast, on the side of my porch. I now have consistent full bars and good service on my cell phone. It was worth the money,

    A little tricky to set up, but boosts the signal

    I needed a better cell signal for work-related phone in meetings. I was getting a max of two bars and was breaking up on a regular basis. This booster was a bit tricky to set up, but in the end it was worth the effort, as I now get 4 to 5 bars. And the funny thing is that I moved the indoor antenna to wipe up my kitchen counter and found out it provides more coverage when it is 6-7 feet above the floor. So now it sits up on a ledge instead of taking up space on the counter. I don't have it set up "pretty" so at some point I may make the installation neater. I was in a bit of a hurry and needed to get it done. I did download an app to my phone to find the cell towers near me, since the instructions tell you to point the outdoor antenna at a cell tower. It cost about $400, so its not cheap. But I wanted to make sure I came across professionally for work meeting. So I see it as an investment.

    I had to try several antenna locations and then several orientations and then distances between anttena and amplifier before I could get a signal improvement. I was skeptical about the signal bars or daba strength that I gained but when I tried a phone call the quality had increased and was voice was clear and clean. My advice try several locations to assure you get the most of the signal amplifier

    The bars on my cell phone in my house went from 0-1 to 4-5. I absolutely love this cell phone booster. I got a universal because I have seen a lot of reviews saying a universal booster is better than a booster designed for you phone model. It is so easy to install. My contractor had it up and running in about 30 minutes. I am sooooo happy that I purchased it. Now I can actually have a conversation with someone without having to run outside in the heat or cold to talk. I definitely think you will be happy with this product if you give it a chance, have it installed per the directions and put it up as high as you can if you live in a dead zone. I have a tv outside antenna and it was put on the pole under the tv antenna.

    Got it home and mounted it about five foot above roof on television pole. Went from 1 bar to 5 on my cell phones. Extremely easy to set up. Thought price was a bit high, but it did the job.

    After many frustrating experiences of slow signals and even occasional lost signals, and unreliable speeds, I purchased weBoost - Home 4G Cellular Signal Booster. Install took some time, but pretty self explanatory. Didn't have to run a cable into the house, as we had recently disconnected our satellite service and used the lines that were being used for satellite from the roof. Our signal has increased dramatically. We went from 2 bars or sometimes 1 bar and now get 4 bars on a slow day and most days we get 5 bars. Tremendous increase for our needs. Download and uploads speeds are more than we thought possible. Great product. Worth the price.

    It's boosted the signal two bars in our home. We're still trying to dial it in to get consistent coverage within the house. Signals good in the great room but lacks in the master. It takes longer to install then they claim (at least for me). Most of the time spent was figuring out where to place the outside antenna and get the cable routed inside. You'll have to have an app on your phone to locate the cell tower to make sure you're outside antenna is pointed in the correct direction. Each weekend we spend a little time testing different locations for the indoor antenna. But keep in mind it's limited based on its cable length from the booster unit.

    This cell signal booster works very well, if any sort of signal is available. I installed according to the directions and now have 4-5 bars where I only had 1 bar before. No more dropped calls, and I can call from anywhere in the house.
