Cell Phone Signal Booster for All Carriers on Band 5/12/13/17 | Up to 4,500 Sq Ft | Boost 5G 4G& LTE Signal for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile & More | FCC Approved

I felt compelled to write a review and describe our experience with this product. It worked out well for us.The situation we were in:We live in a wooded valley in the country with the nearest cell tower about 1.5 miles away, which is across many large farm fields. There is no line of sight to the tower and the valley with trees blocks most cell coverage. With either AT&T or Verizon you get 1 bar. You will have your phone drop calls and texts that don’t go. A picture attached to a text will take minutes to send or will just fail. My wife has a IPhone 13 and I have a Moto G6.What I did and our results:I received the booster and initially I slapped it together just to see if it would do anything for us before mounting and routing the wires. I was planning to box it up and ship it back if it didn’t work. I put the outdoor antenna in a workmate in the driveway and pointed it to where I thought the tower was. I ran the cable through the front window and setup the indoor power and antenna. Immediately our signal went to 3-4 bars near the indoor antenna. I was thrilled. Then I got serious about planning how to mount this thing. I ended up putting the antenna on the peak of the garage farthest from the rest of the house and running the cable through the attic. I dropped the cable down in the garage corner and drilled a hole into kitchen above the cabinets. I used the power outlet from the above the stove microwave as the power source and mounted the indoor antenna on the wall above the kitchen cabinets. To aim the outdoor antenna I got on Google Maps and looked at how our road runs and how many degrees I needed to adjust for. I now have a 3-4 bars (LTE) on the main floor. The upstairs and basement have LTE 2 bars. We had nothing in the basement prior to this. Even the back deck has 2 bar. If I text pictures they send in 4-6 seconds anywhere in the house. The IPhone 13 and Moto G6 both have similar results with Verizon and AT&T. I am very happy how well this worked.Mounting and setup:There are a lot of things to consider if you are going to get this to work. First you must have at least one bar. They state that the outdoor antenna needs to be 25 vertical OR 50 feet horizontal from the indoor antenna. I measured my setup and my vertical distance is around 15 feet AND 35 feet horizontal. That combination seems to be far enough for my setup to work. Another thing is the outdoor and indoor antennas are not to face the same way. My setup has them 90 degrees from each other. You will also need a power source to plug the signal booster into. I thought about having the signal booster in the attic but I read one of the questions asking about heat and cold and where we live is outside of the parameters stated, so I had to put our signal booster in a climate controlled area of the house(above the kitchen cabinets). The last thing is you need to be within 15 degrees when you aim the outdoor antenna at the cell tower. This is where Google Maps comes in handy if you cannot see the tower. Hope this helps!

Happy overall but cables could be better. One cable broke off of the fitting that attaches to the booster. It was out of warranty so I had to buy a replacement but I wanted a longer cable anyway. The length of the original cable was limiting so we couldn’t tuck the booster to a corner where it would be out of the way. The replacement we purchased is longer so the booster is out of the way now.Performance is as it would be with full reception. We use Spectrum Wireless which we’re told are on Verizon towers.

The device works great in our rural location. Prior to this, we had an old 3G booster that I had installed about 12 or so years ago. Back then, it helped a little. However, in recent years I noticed it was not really helping, which is likely due to Verizon's changeover to 4G and then 5G. I researched all of this, with respect to boosters and also talked with a Verizon store rep who gave me other pointers. It is very important to find out which cellular bands are being used in the area and where the cell towers are so that you can (1) know if a booster will even help, (2) know which booster to buy, based on the bands it works with, and (3) know how to aim the antenna. While the "bars" indicator will help, you may learn that in the "settings" menu, your phone has another signal strength meter that measures the signal in "dB". Additionally, by downloading one of the Cell tower locator apps (just check online), you can determine tower location and which bands they use.For the installation, I used the provided cables. I installed the outside antenna at a height that is probably about 8 to 10 ft higher than the inside antenna, and probably about 30 to 35 ft horizontally. I think the manual recommends 25ft higher or, alternatively, 50 ft horizontally. Neither of these was practical for me. When I checked the signal strength (in dB), using the recommended App from the instructions, it was within tolerance.Before getting this new booster, we had only 1 out of 5 bars (sometimes 2 bars), which basically only allowed for phone calls. (In the early years, when the old booster worked, we could get 2 or 3 bars.) Now, with the new booster, we have 3 to 4 bars (out of 5) of strength inside the home. Even out in the yard we have about 2 to 3 bars of strength versus only 1. This is with Verizon. However, the booster even improved AT&T cell service a little. Before, we had 0 to 1 bars, which basically was "no service". Now, we have about 2 bars. (I ordered the specific device that worked more so for Verizon bands, since that is what we subscribe to. Visitors may have AT&T or other carriers though.) On Verizon service, I can now even use my laptop with VPN, using my phone as a hotspot, whereas before, the VPN would not work. The data transfer is a little slow since this is a cellular network (vs. FIOS or cable). My VPN and certain web services detects this and simply indicates that it is adapting for the "metered" service. Regardless, it is great just to be able to have the connectivity that 3 or 4 bars allows. We have had the booster for about a month now and it is great. Younger family members who rely more on their smartphones have even indicated that the service is great, even though the data transfer is a little slow.
