Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been fighting with my cellphone provider for months now about how horrible my service was at my residence. I’ve seen the WeBoost on the shelf at BestBuy for a month or two and thought about buying it, but haven’t due to how expensive the device was. Pulled the trigger tonight and within a minute of setting it up my cellular signal was boosted over 1000%!!!!! Absolutely hands down an amazing investment. Just wish it was cheaper and that I would have gotten it months ago!!!!

It works. Just read the directions. You will have to move the base around to get it right. I use it with a T-Mobile internet gateway (band12) and T-Mobile hotspot. Went from 1 to 3/4 bars. Better speeds. Vz had a great signal before so can’t tell you anything. Roof mounted see pic

Our cabin only had 1 bar 4G at best inside and 2bar at best on the porch, but if you got up on the hill you could get 3 or 4 bars 1/2 mile from cabin. Installed the unit using the previous COAX run for the satellite system. I am able to get 5bars 5G within 5 feet of access point and then next room over I get either 4bar 4G or 3bar 5G. I have used my cell phone to stream tv services, connect my computer, play a game and participate in video call without any issue. Meets our needs perfectly.

I got tired of having to go outside just to answer a call, send a text not to mention the buffering...so I was skeptical about this product but I thought what's the worst that could happen it actually work?? Hook up was simple and easy used the open signal app pointed it at my nearest tower and tada! Let the before and after pictures speak for themselves. If you have poor service in your house this will take care of your issues!

Off Grid, and this unit really brings in the weak Cell signal!! I use it with a WiFi unit to operate my computer here Off Grid for Internet access with great results. We are up in the mountains and can not see the cell tower 5 miles away, but this unit really brings in a great usable signal. I did add a heat sink to the back of the unit because it gets pretty warm, if not totally hot when in use. See the pictures.

Bought this for bringing in a cellular signal to provide coverage to a small office area in a warehouse but primarily to serve the 4G router in place. Bought and installed the same day. Practically is plug and play (but find your cell towers. I did the research first). Went from 3G to full LTE

Amazing product increased my 5g in my home by 3 bars

Work's as advertised! Live on farm was having poor reception installed this problem solved!

Had work in a remote area, barely any cellphone signal, bought it and it works, not a miracle device but definitely helps some. Went from 1 bar to 3 bars of lte signal.

First thing, get the OpenSignal app and look for the direction the app points to the tower. Walk around your building, maybe even reboot the phone and see if it still points in the general same direction. Now, if that tower happens to line up with the direction of your building, then you can use the included mount with a few screws and mount to a corner. If not, then you need to get you some pole mount hardware like that used for TV/Satellite antennas. There is U-bolt hardware included to mount to that pole, but you have to have a pole on your building to attach to. It doesn’t have to be precise, but within a few degrees. Once you have figured that part out, consider where you will run 30/60ft of RG-6 cable (included) from outside to inside and the rest is simple. The indoor booster looks a lot like a typical WiFi router and is as simple with a power adapter, an antenna and a port for the RG-6 cable. Once connected and powered on, the five band lights will give indication of each band's status with red/yellow/green and flashing. Solid green is what you want and it may take a couple minutes for them to become stable. If after a couple minutes they aren’t green, consider moving the booster to a different area, as it may be too close to the outdoor antenna causing interference. If it still doesn’t work, you may have to adjust the angle of the outdoor antenna which is where it is all left up to you and your phone in trial and error on what is better. I really wish they had a simple way of testing strength, like a tone or meter on the booster. Anyways, 5 green lights and I went from 1-2 bars inside to 4, out of 5. When outside on my ladder, while installing the outdoor antenna, I was getting about 3-4. So, this essentially boosts what I could get outside, to a steady strength inside. The OpenSignal app also has a speed test, make sure to turn off your WiFi and give it a try with the booster off, then on. You can see in the image below, it clearly made a difference in the speed for download and upload. Throughout the day though, running a test randomly, I get varying results, but that could be the cellphone company as well. This particular booster is meant for small homes or apartments, not whole house. However, it does seem to still keep the strength through other rooms. Also of note “On February 20, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted new rules governing the design and operation of consumer signal boosters” which requires you to register your signal booster with your carrier. With Verizon it said that consumer products are instant registration and all it required was some basic contact info, the model and serial number of the booster. The common carrier websites are in the manual. Overall, this has clearly boosted my weak indoor signal, but does require some pre-planning and installation. This isn’t a miracle worker, you have to have some signal already outside in the area in which you wish to install it. If you are only getting 1-2 bars outside, or weak signal, it says the booster will cover a small room. The stronger the outdoor signal, the more coverage inside. So, if you just need that signal that you get outside, brought inside, this will do it.

I’m not sure how I feel about this, it says it is 5G ready, but take this with a grain of salt, the 5G emblem matches AT&T’s 5G emblem which is just one of their 4G bands that was rebranded so while the advertising is 100% true you may find much different results depending on the 5G signal that is coming from your carrier. Once you open the box and read the manual, you will find that the lights on the device each represent a different band 2,4,5,12,13… Most carriers will have some service on one or more of the bands, but it may not be their fastest service; so, do yourself a favor and be sure that you go to your carrier’s web page and search for what bands they use before you buy. But generally, if you just have that one room that seems to get no signal or if you live in a concrete apartment that seems to get no signal into it this is a good device for getting service. This is also more of a general solution which has some advantages, mainly which is guests with different carriers than yours are not without signal as well. It comes with a Yagi (or direction) antenna, that you can point at the nearest tower simply by using Open Signal as they suggest. For mounting the antenna, I have found that a piece of rigid metal conduit works amazing. If your just have an issue with signal in your house or apartment you could also purchase an OMNI antenna that would not need to be pointed at any one tower. You can also download an app that analyzes your network and gives stats such as the signal strength which may be able to help dial in the absolute best spot to place the antenna. The booster itself can be mounted on the wall in an out of the way place or placed on a coffee table like the manual shows. It comes with two 30’ cables and all the mounting supplies you need for the antenna expect a pipe. You’ll see the lights go green for whichever signal it is detecting and boosting. Overall, I think this is a nice device and does almost everything that it is designed to do. It says it is designed for a room and that is true, don’t try to buy this for your house, they have a different product in that same device family for that. Pros: Great signal booster Small form factor Easy to setup Set and forget Easy to see a change in status Cons: Not fully 5G compatible

I was needing a boost in my house because the cell signal is about 2 bars without help. I opened the box and saw the cabling included. I then realized that I may have a better solution. My biggest area of low signal is in my basement. I decided to use the cable wiring in my home that already existed since we no longer subscribe to cable. I found the correct cable outside that led to my family room where I work from home. I set up a pole to connect the antenna to and connected the antenna, aimed it at the closest tower. I then connected the weboost to the cable in the family room and plugged into power. I then watched all the light turn green to signify it’s working properly. The bars on my phone at that point went from 2-4 and occasionally 5 with the 5G signal. Super happy with how this is working. Makes my battery life last much longer. It’s even higher upstairs even though it’s only rated for one room use. My only complaint is that the booster is very hot to touch. The picture is upstairs at nearly 10 pm and it’s at 46% battery life. I’ve not had to charge my phone all day since I’ve set up the booster. Really pleased with how it’s working in my home.

Where to start, I thought setting this up would be easy. Well for me it was anything but. But I live nested between several mountains. One of the first instructions is to use one of several apps to determine what cell phone tower for your provider is the nearest, and has the most direct line of sight. Your then told to point the external antenna at that tower. Well for me the 3 nearest towers (each about 3 miles away). One due east, directly behind a mountain in front of my house. The next is the the SE, obstructed by another smaller mountain. The third is to the SW, and only supports one channel, and is obstructed in part of my roof and 2 more mountains (it's 300' lower than my house). So understanding the terrain of your neighborhood is important. Now, I do understand why my cell phone service is somewhat spotty (frequently 2-3 bars out of 4 (on iPhone12 pro)). I place my first support call to WeBoost, they helped me find some tools to do the above. So now came the real time consuming part aiming the antenna. The receiver box must be at least 30' from the antenna, otherwise there is some sort of loopback signal which is indicated by bright red leds on the receiver. So much for aiming easily, you need to move back and forth from the receiver to the antenna after resetting power after with every movement. And it takes about 30-60s for the receiver to settle on a new led setting, even then it may bounce around a little (depending on your geography) and antenna location. I first pointed at the nearest tower, directly behind the mountain to my east. 5 orange leds, well this I knew was not good. Pointing directly are the tower to my SE illuminated the top 3 leds. pointing directly at the tower to my SW (across my roof) illuminated the bottom 2 leds. Apparently the different leds represent the signals strength of various channels (documentation is not very clear on this). But the support person told me that I should keep aiming until I got 5 green leds, that with 2-3 bars on my phone I should be able to do this. Well just looking at bar's is not sufficient, there is something called field test mode (*3001#12345#*) which turns iPhone bars into rsrp signal strength number. Well apparently between iOS 14.0 and 14.4 the functionality of this meter has changed significantly; what I was told by WeBoost support staff, no longer existed in the same place on iOS 14.4, something they were unaware of - frustrating. I did find the equivalent signal strength on another page. Without WeBoost my rsrp number was around -105 (this is documented to be a relatively low signal). When I had 3 led's illuminated my rsrp moved to -98, with the bottom 2 then rsrp was -97 to -95. Not a huge improvement. So I started doing a series of small movement from SE to SW, each taking 3-4 min in between, I broke these movements into 12 directions. hoping to finally find a better signal, thinking maybe it bounces around. I knew pointing at the nearest towers did not achieve an acceptable boost. Well at position 6 and 7 I did get 4 green led's sometimes periodically 5. Along the way it was either 2 or 3, sometimes with a flicker of a 4th, not always the same led flickering. So I finally settled on the best aiming, as I moved the receiver around indoors, to find the best location, the led's would very again. If I took it too close to the antenas location I would occasionally get the bright red loopback led(s). Well the location that would have been best for me was not the best for the receiver's strength. I've decided the best location is in my attic, just outside my office door, now I have to get electricty to that point, and their instructions suggest good surge protector (something I don't have in my attic yet). I really wish I could mount this where I can look at the leds at any point, as I know the best I can (currently) do is 4 solid green and wobbly 5th. Now, I live in a city that AT&T has not rolled out their real 5G service (Phoenix, AZ), so when they do this I may find things will have again changed.So I now have a rsrp the fluctuates from -73 to -95 with 5 green leds or 4 (rsrp moves independent if leds). This is an improvement -73 is a solid 4 bars. The indoor effectiveness of WeBoost varies with your distance from the receiver. my findings are if I'm with in 20' I get the best signal. at 40' it might as well not be there, I'm back to -105. Can I recommend the WeBoost, well it really depends on your situation, and patience. I'm was very surprised that WeBoost did not have better tools to help with the Installation (none of their own). I suspect if I had a clear line of sight to a cell tower this might have gone much better. I guess my advice is to discover where you nearest cell phone towers are, and then determine the likelihood of line of sight, this seems to make a huge difference. I honestly don't know if I'd go through this much effort again.

The weBoost Home Studio kit is like having your own personal cell tower extension. It’s perfect for increasing the cell signal in rooms that have a hard time getting reception, like an office basement or that room on the wrong side of the house. It does this by having an antenna mounted outside where the cell reception is good, and then sending that signal to a transmitter that’s mounted inside. Keep in mind that it can only extend the same quality of signal it receives, so it’s very important where and how you set up the outdoor antenna. Aiming it takes a bit of trial and error, but the free Opensignal app weBoost recommends helps a ton in finding the best spot and aiming the antenna. On the inside transmitter there’s a status light for each cell band it’s amplifying to let you know if they’re facing any interference. I’ve only used it with Verizon 4G, but it claims to work with all major cell phone carriers and is compatible with 5G as well, so it shouldn’t become outdated anytime soon. Be sure to give the transmitter a few minutes after plugging it in, because it can take a little bit before the band status goes green. In my case, the 2 and 4 bands were orange for about 5 minutes before going and staying green. It’s a well built kit overall that comes with everything you need and doesn’t require any programming. However, you do need to route rg6 coaxial cable (included) from the outside antenna to inside the home. It also needs to be registered with your cell provider, but they give you advice and it’s a lot easier than it sounds. It’s only been a few days, but so far so good, and it’s wonderful finally having a strong cell signal in my home office. If you have good cell reception outside, but a room with bad reception inside, this is definitely your fix. Neat product! PROS - Extends cell tower signal inside - No programming needed - Includes all installation hardware - Once it’s set, you can forget it CONS - Aiming outdoor antenna can take some trial and error - Installation involves running cable from outside to inside

If you are in a really, really bad area this will do the trick. If you have mediocre signal it will also do the trick. Lets start with installation. It requires you to mount an outside antenna. Luckily I have old RG6 from my old cable company to run it outside. Mounting in a high pole and aiming towards the closest tower was a little tricky but was straight forward. Product came with all the required hardware. Unless you are doing a surface mount then those type of screws are not included. Indoor antenna was easy. Plug in RG6 and power and make sure all lights light up and you are up and running. If you are in a bad area and have only 1 or 0 bar this will boost your signal at least 1 bar. I have Mint Mobile which is T-Mobile and I have Verizon. So they both saw 1 bar improvement in my worst room that has plywood walls and is the center of my house. Speed test did not yield much improvement. Given the install, 1 bar improvement which is what it advertises, and single room limit, I would recommend this product.

When I first heard about the weboost Home Studio, I was a little bit skeptical about how would actually improve my cell reception..After installing and testing it out, I was amazed at how well this actually worked. Not only did the weboost improve my cell reception, but it actually more than doubled my download and upload speeds. Setting up the weboost Home Studio takes a little bit of work. You will have to run coax cable from the antenna (outside), to the boost (inside) your desired room. When installing the antenna outside, you will use an app that locates the nearest cell tower, so you know what direction to point the antenna. After you have everything installed, you then need to activate the boost through your cell providers website. The activation is incredibly easy, the part that took the longest was having to call to get my account number. Once you activate the boost through your cell provider, the last thing you need to do is plug in the boost to the included power cord. The boost immediately turns on, there are no waiting times for it to load up either. The way the booster works is, it takes the signal from the nearest cell tower and then amplifies it into a room in your home. The better the signal is, the larger the area that the boost will provide. Keep in mind, if you have no signal, the boost won't be able to create one for you. So you will need at least some sort of signal. The booster also allows for multiple devices to use the booster at the same time, but they have to be on the same network as you are. Before I installed the boost in my living room, I decided to run a couple speed tests to see what I was getting, The results were nothing to brag about, as they were pretty slow. I then ran the tests again after the boost was installed and couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. It more than doubled my speeds. Overall, I am very pleased with the weboost Home Studio. It really does make a huge difference in my cell service by giving me faster upload/download speeds, as well as giving me a better signal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a week signal and needs a better one.

The set up process and installation of the weBoost signal booster is extremely easy. Living in a rural area such as south eastern Tennessee, this is a must have. Basically attach a small antenna in the direction of your cell tower and connect to the booster via cables provided for instant boost. I did not notice a boost in speed, but boost in signal and call quality was noticed. I highly recommend this product for homes or offices that need a little boost of signal. Please review my pics to see the difference in signal before and after using the weBoost signal booster. Directions were very clear, packaging was beautiful, and the quality of the product is impeccable.

weBoost Home Studio Cell Phone Signal Booster – Designed and assembled in USA with a 2yr warranty and US based customer service. Designed for an apt., small home or a large room this device works with all US carrier networks and phones and is 5G ready. ( booster will amplify any cell signal technology, including 5G, on bands 12/17, 13, 5, 4, and 25/2.) Please note you must register this device with your wireless provider. You are provided with an outside directional Antenna that you point at your nearest cell tower. To determine where your cell tower is - I used Network Cell Info Lite on my android phone. I hooked it to a pipe on my roof with the included mounting bracket and hooked up one of the 30f Coax cables. After bringing the cable into my home I hooked up the booster which takes the signal that is picked up by the Antenna and amplifies it. After a couple of minutes where it adjusts itself the antenna on the amplifier rebroadcasts the signal. This was located in my breakfast nook which is attached to my living room. I originally experienced 1 to 2 bars of signal strength and after installed it went to a constant 3 bars. You could see with the android app and the Android field test mode that my signal basically doubled over what I originally experienced. As an added bonus there are no subscription costs or fees. I am very pleased with how well it works and I felt it was easy to setup.

Unfortunately I wasn’t a fan of coaxial cables in the 90’s and I’m still not. I have had such conflict with myself because the cables are a mess, fussy, and not easy or discrete for hiding in the home. There are definitely clips and ways to mail the wire to the wall but it became more of a hassle trying to figure out where to drill a hole in my home from the interior to the exterior. In the box there are less than 10 items so I thought this would be easy but I had to get someone to consult on where to add this eye sore and if there was a true way to incorporate this in my home design. Functionality is great and it certainly boosts signal significantly. After the hours and days of fear of ruining my home’s wall and committing to the placing. I decided on a corner of my kitchen since I could hide the black box by the wall and an unused outlet. In 2021 home design means any electronics that come in to a home are also chosen because of their design aesthetic. I thought this would be seamless and easy. It was not and for that I can say that if you’re going to put yourself through the headache of the install you’re going to yield some strong signal. Be ready to potentially purchase more coaxial cable, after tucking and running the cable from the roof to the small boost box it was very close to not having enough wire.

I am renovating a cargo trailer into a video game trailer for parties and with the door shut, it’s basically impossible to get any kind of cell or Wi-Fi signal. While this doesn’t help with the Wi-Fi, it made a drastically better difference for cell reception! I now get a full 5 bars of LTE and it works pretty great, even better than when I used to step outside and just use the regular towers. Setup was dead simple, although I haven’t installed it onto a pole like they suggest. I’ll do that later as it came with all of the mounting hardware. It’s also supposed to be able to do 5G, but we don’t have that available in my area, so I can’t test it. All-in-all, it works better than I expected and I’m happy with it.
