How It Works
Signal boosters increase cell signal by collecting signals with a powerful antenna, delivering those signals to the booster, amplifying the cell signals so your devices receive them, and delivering your device's boosted signals back to the cell tower.
Receives
Signal
The outside antenna reaches out to the cell tower to access voice and data signals.
Transmits
Signal
The booster receives the outside signal from the outside antenna.
Boosts
Signal
The booster amplifies the outside signal 32x, and sends it to the inside antenna.
Expands
Signal
The inside antenna broadcasts the boosted signal to devices inside the home.

Went from dead zone to 3 bars of 4G LTE AT&T
I was a bit skeptic when I dropped around $400 on this system about a month ago, and I am glad I made the purchase. We are out in the country surrounded by trees and hills. Our initial signal was zero.. so after reading the setup guides we decided to mount the antenna to our 50 foot poll tower. We had no idea where the nearest tower was but thanks to some of the q&a post on weboost they referred us to a app called Open signal. We made all the adjustments we needed prior to turning the system on. We powered it up and about 5 to 10 seconds later we had 3 bars of 4G LTE and data download speeds up to 20mbps and uploads up to 5 mbps. We will now be updating our data plans and cancelling our satellite internet and Vonage services. With that being said I'll be saving myself over $100 a month and the weboost will have paid for itself in 4 months. In short.. do research on finding your local towers, make adjustments, take time to set it up correctly and it will work. Thank you weboost!

It worked pretty good WHEN it wanted
A relative purchased this and asked me to install at his home. There is a tower about 3 miles away but on the other side of hills. Signal outside is sketchy at best for AT&T and very low but mostly reliable for Verizon. Install was fairly simple just time consuming. But went from 1x to 4G inside with Verizon and almost no signal inside to a solid 3G inside. After reading previous reviews from users and comments from the company I am surprised it did him any good at all considering his location and outside signal strength to begin with. Only downside was it would stop working a lot and would have to be re booted. The booster would always be very warm to hot and after 8 months just stopped working all together. Just have to get something more suited to his situation.
It definitely boosted my signal. Download speeds 30x
Installed outdoor in the window first and saw a small improvement. Moved it outside and signal went way up.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

WeBoost completely transformed my access to information
Before weBoost the only way to get cell reception was to stand on the roof outside a second floor bedroom. And even with that it was only 1 bar. sometimes 2 bars that came and went at random. Not great, particularly as my cabin is in the remote mountains, completely off grid, and with a penchant for many feet of snow in the long winter. WeBoost has made it so I can sit inside in proximity of the antennae and make/receive phone calls, stream live music and pick up cellular wifi with relative ease. Total gamechanger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Question: We have a SimpliSafe security system but have poor cell inside our metal home which drops the connection to the cell tower. Outside the home we have 3 bars of G4 or 1-2 bars of LTE. Will a weboost help with both cell phone signal and SimpliSafe connection to the cell tower?

Asked by Nate 2 months ago
Question: I work in the Gulf of Mexico offshore. Are your antennas outdoor use? Will it withstand this weather or should I buy a different one? I am not really that far offshore. My coworkers have cheaper models that don't work for my carrier. Also can you password protect this?
Answer: Thank you for your question! Yes, they are intended for outdoor use but possibly not a coastal region since the salt can erode the metal quickly. I would recommend one of these: https://www.weboost.com/boosters/vehicle-boat With the marine antenna here, it would be a good match up: https://www.weboost.com/products/wilson-electronics-4g-wide-band-omni-directional-marine-antenna You cannot password protect it since it's done through the signals in the air and amplifies passively. The only way to restrict others is by limiting the amplifier to your quarters or another small area. Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist with by calling our customer support at 866-294-1660 or our online support at [email protected] Thank you!

Asked by Jose a year ago
Question: I bought a 3G WE booster some years ago, when networks were only 3G. Ir worked fairly good then, but not currently. Now my cell is 4G LTE from Tigo in my country (Colombia, South America), and I need to boost for data purposes. Without boosting, I receive a -90 to -110 dB signal. Tigo in my country operates with HSPA+, 1900 MHz UMTS and AWS LTE. Will a device from WE work for me? Perhaps a "Home 4G"?
Answer: Thank you for your question! It looks like that Tigo might be using 4G LTE Tigo 1700Mhz in which our boosters will not work for 4G. That might be the reason why you're not able to see any boost since the 3G does work because it's able to work with 3G 2100 MHZ Tigo. If you were to purchase a Home 4G, that also won't work since it has frequency issues because our boosters are capable of boosting frequencies in USA, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines. I do not recommend getting a Home 4G because of that reason alone. We are not rated to work anywhere else because of these frequency issues. If there's any other questions that need to be addressed, please give us a call at 866-294-1660 or contact our online support at: [email protected] Thank you!

Question: I have a Wilson amp 3g. Can i traid it in on 4g and give some boot
Answer: Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, you cannot trade out a booster or upgrade a 3G to 4G unit since it's the unit itself that has the ability to use 4G and 3G signals. I order for you to receive 4G you would need to purchase a 4G booster kit and use the booster. Typically the same antennas will work with a 3G to 4G booster but it depends on the model purchased. If there's any other questions that need to be addressed, please give us a call at 866-294-1660 or contact our online support at: [email protected] Thank you!

Asked by Eric a year ago
Question: I have calculated that I need an antenna at least 80ft vertically from my house in order receive cell phone reception, due to intervening terrain, but this does take into account radio wave diffraction. I think the signal strength is good and my problem is not distance related, as I can go around the hill and get -70db, thus I don't think I need a yagi, just an omni. What is your best omni-directional antenna and how do I get it 80ft in the air?
Answer: Thank you for your questions! I think the main issue is getting enough line from the antenna to the booster without it affecting signal. You may need to go with RG11 from the outside antenna to the booster to have less line loss since 80 ft is pretty far for RG6 to go. As far as the outside antenna goes, the best omni antenna that we have for building is this one here: https://www.weboost.com/products/wilson-electronics-4g-omni-plus-building-antenna-75-ohm?_ga=2.45814116.1755164048.1515095951-48653305.1515095951 I would go with a yagi though since the gain on there is much higher than the omni antenna which might help with the signal loss over the coax as well. As far as getting it up in the air, that could be the use for a pole of some sort, or perhaps find a better point that's lower that can serve you well, but it might not be possible since you've probably scoured your property already. I know others have used a flagpole or made their own pole, but most are able to place the omni on their home. That might not be the case for you in your application though.

Question: Looking at the need to boost our verizon jet pak hot spot...will this help our signal of 1-2 bars for our internet needs? Will the jetpack talk to the booster?
Answer: Thank you for your question! Yes, the booster should be able to amplify the signal into the hotspot from the booster, they talk both ways so it should help with Upload and Download speeds.

Question: Looking at purchasing your product for our home. But wondering about buffer and or latency through your system?? We currently only have Verizon Wireless our ISP.
Answer: Thank you for your question! I would reach out to our customer support team or online support to be able to answer this question in detail. Mostly, though, the booster just needs an acceptable signal of -95 or better to be able to work properly. It will not cover 1500 sq ft unless all conditions are perfect. I would say the Home 4G is a one room solution in most cases.
