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.
From Bust To Boom!
I've lived in the same location for 20+ years and never been able to get cell reception unless I put my phone in a window on one side of my house. If I removed the phone from the window I would loose my connection, so it was useless for calls or data, but worked for texting. Even going outside my house improved the signal none. I decided to take a chance on this product and I'm very impressed. I went from a trace of a signal to getting 4G LTE. My download speeds range anywhere from 3mbps to 15 mbps. I live in the middle of nowhere and there's only one tower around. This products works better than I expected.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

It really works!
We use our WeBoost At our home and when we visit family every year in our RV we take it with us. Once we get settled in we mount the antenna and connect the coax to the satellite input on our trailer. Then plug the inside smaller antenna and boost box inside our trailer. And now no more dead zones. It's amazing how easy it is to use.

Great for boosting cell signal in rural areas
We recently built in a rural area that had some cell coverage. Recently we began to miss calls and texts. We decided to give a booster a try. The installation was very easy and straight forward and we have seen a tremendous jump in our coverage. Not only do we not miss any calls we have a strong enough signal to stream video!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

In love
I could barely send and receive texts. Never could talk on phone for any amount of time. I now have 3 to 4 bars and can watch videos and movies on my phone with no trdouble at all. It is so nice to finally be able to talk on phone like "normal" people. I have a work phone that is Verizon and my personal is att. The Verizon still doesn't get much service, but that's ok for me. I guess they are off different towers for me. Product is pricey and I've looked for years at buying, but kept putting it off due to cost. My only regret is that I didnt just do it years ago. I couldn't be happier.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Question: Is this the same amplifier as the Connect 4G with extra 5db gain just in the antennas? Or different powered amplifier?
Answer: Thank you for your question! It's a different amplifier and antennas which cause the dB gain. The Connect 4G is programmed a little differently than the Home 4G to cover more area, but the antennas are better and cause increase in dB strength.

Question: We live in the country and cell towers are far away. This our second booster. We had the older 3G model before for about 6 yrs, and now have have had the newer 4G for about one year. It's been a life saver and we've been able to do away with our land line. Question: We have a lot of power surges here and have already had to replace the power adapter, so am thinking we should get a surge protector. But it's confusing how to install it. Wouldn't you need a male and female end, 2 female ends does not make sense to me. It was recommended on Amazon to have another cable between the surge protector and the booster, could I just install it in the attic between the two 30' cables in place of the connector being used. But am guessing I still need some type of male to female adapter. And how do we ground it?
Answer: Thank you for your question! The surge protector is typically where the outside antenna is located. When a surge protector is being used, there's a 2 ft. cable that connects to the antenna like normal and then the surge protector is placed on that end and the other end connects to the coax that normally runs into the amplifier. It should be something like this: Antenna > 2 ft. Coax > Surge Protector > 20-30 ft. Coax > Amplifier This way the surge protector isn't inside your home and it's much easier to ground. We usually tell people to ground the surge protector to your counties specifications. There should be a grounding rod that's used to ground wire to typically. I would check with your county to make sure what gauge of wire should be used to ground properly.

Question: Whats is the freight cost to Darwin, Australia?
Answer: Thank you for your question! I'm sorry, but we do not ship to foreign countries besides Canada. Our amplifiers may not be able to work there in Australia either since the frequencies used are different than here in the US and Canada.

Asked by Shady Jack 2 months ago
Question: What's the minimum distance recommended between external and internal antennas?
Answer: Thank you for your question! 20 ft. vertical OR 50 ft. horizontal. However it may be smaller based on the material you're working with. If you have a metal roof, the distance could be smaller since metal blocks signal from interfering from the inside antenna. I would simply look for the green lights, if it goes red at any time you need to further them away from each other and then reset the amplifier to get the new reading.

Asked by Scott 2 months ago
Question: Can it only boost one company at a time? I have T-mobile and my work phone has Sprint. Can I boost both or do I have to choose one signal at a time?
Answer: Thank you for your question! It can amplify both signals at the same time with 3g and 4g. Sprint does have trouble with 4g though since there are 3 frequencies that they use for 4G, 2 of which are not compatible with our range due to FCC regulations. It does work with 3g though which is mainly for talking and texting.

Question: Can the indoor and/or outdoor antennas be painted to match the decor of the home?
Answer: Thank you for your question! They can be, but keep in mind that it cannot be pained with metallic paint since that can block the incoming and outgoing transmissions from the amplifier. Other than that you should be okay to paint it.

Asked by Roger Whitehouse 2 months ago
Question: Can a We boost take my 3 bats of LTE and increase my data speeds? I get 15-22mbps outside but inside I get 4 mbps do to my metal roof and poor signal. Also my house is less then 1500 square feet
Answer: Thank you for your question! That should be able to work. We really like to see the signal strength in decibels but if you're able to get those speeds the amplifier should be able to help you at least receive that inside as well.
