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.
Garbage
This thing doesn't work. If you get any service without it don't bother getting one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Excellent product
I live in a very rural part of Arizona, surrounded by ridges. Even in the closest town reception isn't that great. Before I installed my WeBoost I had to climb a 30' hill to get even limited sporadic reception. After installing WeBoost I get very good service - generally 3 or 4 bars of Verizon LTE. Installation was simple. I used Open Signal app to find the nearest (only!) tower, then quickly was able to aim the outdoor antenna to optimize the signal. Absolutely would recommend this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

All the Difference
I have been suffering for many years with no cell service only to drive less than a mile for LTE service. It's like we're in a dark hole at our home. DSL internet is best we have which barely reaches 2 gbps. I decided to drop the money on this system and once I 'tuned it in' correctly it works great. Make sure you spend time finding the best location. If you don't you'll feel it's useless. I spent a solid day tweaking mine. Only issue I have is I'm still not 100% sure I have the indoor antennae located in the best place but does the job. I can use my LTE cell service to stream video, ballgames and way quicker internet. I actually paid Verizon a few more bucks just to upgrade the speed. Anyway works great and would recommend but remember make sure you calibrate it to the best signal. The cell tower app isn't exactly correct at least not for me. Brad

From no bars to 3+ bars. Great product!
I always had a reasonable signal outside the house, but usually none inside. I live in the mountains, so it's hit and miss. I asked my carrier about signal boosters and they were skeptical, as was I. Decided to bite the bullet and purchase a weBoost 4G booster package at BB. Good decision. After 1 1/2 hours setting it up -- locating the best place to mount the outside antenna, running the cable through the window and connecting the booster, etc. -- I checked my new phone and Shazam! Almost full signal at some inside locations and 2+ bars elsewhere. The package sports a hefty price but I believe it's worth it. No cell signal can make you crazy. One observation: the second step in the user guide says to point the outside antenna toward the nearest cell tower, which is puzzling since the antenna isn't connected to the booster yet. That step should come after the system is activated. Just a thought. Good job, weBoost!

I was totally blown away!
We just installed this today and could not be happier! It went from -119dbm to -84 and sometimes gets down to -74. Most of the time I see its-84dbm! We only use our data from our cells for our internet. Before it was 2-3 mbps and now we're getting 18-20mbps. Now we can stream movies without the buffering! I am so impressed with the difference! We are located in the country and surrounded by trees. We installed the outside antenna on top of our house and pointed it to the closest tower. We are on T-Mobile and cannot be happier! We were going to get internet thru Comcast but figured this would pay for itself and it will! We want to get a Weboost for our 5th wheel but will have to wait until we save more money up! I'm so glad I went with Weboost instead of another company!

Question: Does this need to be plugged into a power supply all the time to work? Or does it have a battery that can be charged up and run off of that? We are off grid so need generator to run electricity. Thanks in advance.
Answer: This does need to be connected to a power supply at all times, preferably AC power since that's what's used in this amplifier because it's a home unit. I'm not sure about a battery charge but it does not take DC power.

Question: Will the Weboost 470101 work with the D-Link DWR-961 router ?
Answer: Thank you for your question! If that model is a cellular amplifier for US Cellular then it should help if you have signal outside for the amplifier to use. The amplifier should not be connected directly to the modem as it will damage the modem and cause the signal to be unusable because if it's gain and noise. We only recommend using the inside antenna next to the modem for best results since the modem should pick up the amplified signal form the inside antenna if the outside signal is strong enough. I would check with our customer support before purchasing just to be sure that this unit will work right for you.

Question: I have the weboost home 4g. It works very well with AT&T, but when I use it for verizon or sprint I get exactly no change, even with a tower 2 miles away over a hill. Inside the house i get 1 to 2 bars, outside exactly the same. I used open signal to find the direction of the nearest tower and then put my weboost flat panel on a pole on my roof pointing that direction and got 0 change. Am I doing something wrong?. I upgraded the inside antenna to the insidei flat panel that looks like the inside one for better strength inside. the one that came with it my phone had to be right next to it to increase the db. So what if anything am i doing wrong.? And thanks in advance.
Answer: Thank you for your question! It could be the signal itself that's not being able to be used by the outside antenna. Open Signal tower application doesn't work reliably and we typically don't use it. We usually direct people to move the antenna every 45 degrees and resetting the amplifier after every adjustment to find the best signal. I think calling out customer support and getting help that way would help the best in your situation.

Asked by Connie 6 months ago
Question: I'm in a rural area. My personal cell is with Consumer Cellular and has no problems. Now, I've got a work cell with Verizon and calls are frequently dropping. I just need reliable service at my desk in one room about 17' x 14'. It seems as though the Weboost 3g would be all I need, but it appears you've stopped making that one. What's the least expensive reliable option?
Answer: Thank you for your question! I would go with a Home 4G for a small office area but it depends on your outside signal of how much coverage you'll receive. The Home 4G is typically a one room solution for most situations.

Asked by ERIC 6 months ago
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.

Asked by Di 7 months ago
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.
