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 booster's 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.
Absolutely love in my cave!!!
Was leery about whether this would work in our new home as well as we live in the Ozark Hills at least 7 miles from the nearest cell phone tower. It is an ICF home which is double-insulated, steel-reinforced concrete forming wall systems. The foam is 2 5/8' thick with 4" of concrete between that and we also have a metal roof with blown in foam insulation so there was no phone signal at all. We now have 2 bars and I was able to face time family last night. The connection was better then my home wifi. Go for it!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love it. Would recommend it very highly.
This was super easy to install. Me and my daughter installed this in less than two hours. I went from 0 to maybe one bar in my home, but mostly from no service all the time, to 3-4 bars. I live way out in the country with metal grain bins and metal sheds all around plus a tin top on my house. I would highly recommend this.

This is a lifesaver, literally
My wife recently had a pacemaker installed. The pacemaker comes with a monitor that requires cell service for it to communicate with the doctor. We had no cell service in out home, we live in a very rural area with extremely poor reception. I could go outside and I could get -121dBm and a very poor one bar that would frequently drop calls. I chose to take the plunge with the WeBoost Home 4G system. I do not get 5 bars with 4G, I get 2 to 3 bars with LTE and occasional 3G service. My signal strength in the house is between. -98 dBm and -108 dBm on the average. I understand that's a poor signal but it is sufficient for my wifes device to function properly. Next week she will be implanted with a cardio mims that will require still yet another monitoring device that requires cell service. This will not take the place of my landline and internet IPS but it will allow my wife the piece of mind that she's getting the service she needs to monitor her health needs. I wanted to share this with folks that might be in my position and give them my experience with this unit. I suspect that one of the higher priced units would work better, but I can not afford them and it was a real gamble for me to try this unit.

Wow! Just what we needed!
We had no cell service at our new house...outside of the house, if you stood in a certain area, service would come and go. I honestly did not believe any booster would work in our area, but decided to give it a try, and return it if it didn't work. We unpacked our new WeBoost and followed the simple directions and we were rewarded with great cell service anywhere in the house!! Best Buy of the year!!

great product
We got this booster for our weekend home. we could get text sometime but not always and never get a call, once in a while we could make a call if the wind was blowing right, lol now we have 4-5 bars all the time get and receive calls, all text and can also connect to the internet, this is saving us a ton of money a month since we don't have a land line (that did not work most of the time) anymore, would defiantly buy again

Works well
I use this to bring Cell signal into my basement office. I mounted the external antenna outside on the wall of my house. Ran the cable beside the Cable TV cable run. Didn't need any new holes in the house except 2 mounting screws on the outside wall. I mounted the internal amplifier/receiver on the end of my shelving unit. set the internal antenna on my desk. I gained a 40 db increase immediately. I didn't ever target the closest cell tower. I "approximated" where it was and mounted it on the outside wall in that direction. I now get better cell signal in my basement than in my back yard.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Asked by Jose 6 months 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.

Asked by Eric 7 months 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. 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: 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.

Question: What is the maximum cable distance run from the external antena to the LTE Home amp?
Answer: Thank you for reaching out to us! Typically we recommend using only 100 feet of cabling with this booster, but you would likely need to upgrade the cabling. If the outside signal is poor, we recommend using RG-11 or greater for lengths 50 feet and longer.
