It definitely works. It has to be installed correctly. The installation instructions were marginal at best. It boosted my cell signal from -118 dBm to between -100 & -85 dBm. I went from not being able to make or take calls to being able to use my phone in my house. I don't think it's a miracle, but it's a definite improvement. I'll recommend it but you really have to mount the outside antenna on the roof, on a pole, pipe, or vent, and dial in the signal by having someone on roof rotate position while you're checking signal, until you find the optimum position.

I purchased the Boost Home MultiRoo cell booster for my home because they changed the tower signal and I was unable to use my phone. I went from 120 to 89 signal strength. I am extremely pleased with this product.

Works well in the area of the indoor antenna, only issue is I have a 2700 SF home, and does not boost across all rooms well. That said, I went from 2 bars to 4 bars right away in the main living room, office and kitchen closest to antenna. Happy about that!

We got the booster because we live in a rural area and since getting a new smart phone, the reception on it has been terrible with dropped calls and poor data connection. The packaging and instructions for the booster are terrific - some of the best I've seen. All the components were extremely well labeled and the instructions clear and concise. Even the cable bags had illustrated labels telling us exactly how to connect the inside antenna to the booster to the outside antenna. What did not make sense however, was that it instructed you to use the 30' cable between the inside antenna and the booster, which are in the same room, and only gives you a 15' cable from the window connector to the outside antenna. This might be okay IF the instructions did not say "the outside antenna must be at least 50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from the inside antenna". There is not enough cable to get it mounted in the ideal position on top of the roof with only the 15' section out the window. We ended up putting the outside antenna on a pole until we can get a longer coax cable to mount to our roof. Even though it is not in the best position, we are still very pleased at how well it works. Prior to installation, I would have one bar of strength on my phone and the data sometimes dropped to 3G. Since the installation, the strength is usually at 3 bars, occasionally goes to 4 and the data is at 4G-LTE most of the time. The signal also seems to be boosted in more than just my office where we installed it. Finding the optimal position by experimenting with various positions and tweaking the antenna takes a lot of time and definitely requires two people. But we are pleased with the results and anticipate they will only get better as we find the best place to mount the outside antenna.

I live in a semi-rural area. I say “semi-rural” because, while I am technically in the country, there is a housing boom in my area, so it feels more like a suburb. We moved here three years ago from an actual suburb of a small city. Cellular reception was more reliable there, as were the utilities. During our first year here, we had a power outage for three days due to weather. We relied on our cell service for contact with the outside world. A few times, cell coverage was spotty. We usually don’t get more than two or three bars on a good day, so it didn’t take much to go from good to poor service. When that’s your last way of communicating, it becomes an issue. We also have issues with coverage throughout the house. The house has three levels. The upstairs has better service, while in the kitchen it’s poor. We do have wireless calling capability but sometimes that isn’t great in the house, either. So, when I saw the weboost Home Cellular Signal Booster, I thought this would be a great item to have. Unfortunately, the installation was a bit more complicated than we expected. I originally thought this would be a wireless booster, but it does require running a coaxial cable from the outside antenna to the inside antenna. We do not have the tools nor the comfort level of running cable through the siding and through the basement. The kit does come with a flat piece of wire that is a connector between the coax from the outside to the inside cable. This allows installation through a door or a window. We decided to run the cable through our sliding door for now. We installed the outdoor antenna to an existing pole that held our old satellite dish (a clamp for this type of install is included). We used the OpenSignal app to locate our nearest tower and pointed the antenna in that direction. We did have an issue, though, as the way we were running the cable ended up requiring us to get a male-to-male connector in order the finish the install. Otherwise, the kit is complete with everything you need to set up the unit. We installed the unit in our kitchen, as the second floor was where we had the most issues. Once connected and plugged in, the booster turned green. We went from two bars to 4 bars instantly. We did not have to move the outside antenna at all. The range was -100, which technically was only in the “good” range according to the instructions, but it was good for us. I would recommend this unit for those who need a boost in service, especially in more remote areas. Just be aware that it will take some time to install and some technical know-how.

My cell service has been notoriously bad ever since I moved into my home. There has been a lot of new development in the area in the last several years but one thing that has yet to catch up to the demand requirements of the neighborhood is the cell phone coverage. This upgrade was overdue. This kit does what it claims. I typically would get no service at all to maybe one bar without it inside my home. Almost as soon as I plugged it in I got three bars. If you are in an area where your service is not reliable and you are using some variant of WiFi calling or VOIP service, you might want to strongly consider this kit. In the event your internet goes down and/or have no landline, you could find yourself in a bind during an emergency situation. The provided directions are more than sufficient to get this up and running. The difficulty is all based on how you are going to physically install it in your home. Connecting it and powering it up is a breeze. It's literally spelled out in a instruction manual and on the plastic protective bags each component and cable the kit is wrapped up in in a step-by-step style. It doesn't get more clear than that. I took off one star only because of the price of the product. As much as I appreciate how this worked out, it is a bit steep. I think more people in my situation would jump on this if it was a bit cheaper. I know a lot of these would sell in my neighborhood alone if that were the case.

We have very weak cell signal at our cottage - tried this to see if we could up our network speeds and improve call quality. It worked very well for improving call quality and we were able to get better Internet speeds. Ultimately, however, speed was not good enough for video conferencing. No fault of the booster - it can only work with the signal it has... And ours was too weak. Ended up returning this and going with Starlink for Internet (and wifi calling). Which is working exceptionally well one week in.

At first we thought we had made a mistake. The box is not made right. There is no front as both ends have cords/wire connections. So it does not look nice or sit well on furniture. The setup has a lot of regulations, such as how far apart the outdoor antenna has to be from the receiver and from the indoor antenna( it says 50 feet?). They can’t be facing in the same direction. We had to hire an electrician to fish the wire through the walls. It was crazy. BUT...now I have service on my phone and I can even send and download pictures and videos. My husband’s phone works in several rooms but my iPhone has to be in front of the indoor antenna. My suggestion would be to try the antenna in different locations in the house to see where the best place is before permanently attaching in one location. All in all we are pleased with the purchase and the bars!

Northern MN, we're about 8 miles through the woods to the cell tower we need. Pointed it in the right direction, guided the co-ax cable down to a place in our basement, and then ran co-ax to from the box to the sending unit. All of a sudden, we went from no internet in the basement to 5G. So, it's worth it for us so far - it's been about 2 weeks - so far, no problems other than I wish they would have given 100 ft total of cable instead of 60 feet. Also, the weboost unit seems a bit warm. i wonder if that will shorten it's life span...

The weBoost - Home MultiRoom Cell Phone Signal Booster provides very good signal boost. Before the booster we only had 1 bar maybe 2 bars of signal. With the weBoost - Home MultiRoom Cell Phone Signal Booster we now have 3-4 bars of signal when near the booster. It will not provide 3-4 bars throughout our 2,000 square foot house. This is noted on the box. With 1-2 bars signal without the booster the maximum coverage area is 1,000 square foot. Overall I am pleased with the weBoost - Home MultiRoom Cell Phone Signal Booster and would purchase again.

Very good product. The only thing that keeps that fifth star from popping is the price and items that are thrown in the package without much thought to practical application. Don't put coaxial Cable in the box, which doesn't match the dimensions of the coverage area of the installation. It's a waste of money. Just put not included and lower the price. If you insist on doing that, put dual end male adapters for each cable end, so they can be attached to each other. Also, if you insist on doing that, add something to waterproof the connections. Also, If the outside antenna is attached to something other than a pipe, make the bracket hinged so the angle can be adjusted for better aiming. Mine is close to on-target but cannot be fine-tuned because the half-bracket is at a fixed angle. Other than that, the product works as directed. I had to spend an additional $70 dollars on additional cables, connectors, and sealant for the connectors.

This thing works. Was fairly easy to install. Just pointed the antenna in the direction of our cell tower and my bars went from 1 to 4. We always had issues with dropping calls and slow data. But now with 4 bars of signal everything works great. My only complaint is the inside antenna does not cover my entire house like I thought it would. If I'm in the same room as the antenna, then it works as it should. But walking into other rooms the signal goes down quick.

Overall it works well. It gave me enough boost to get an improved signal in the house. The install instruction is solid, and the installation was easy. I had problems losing the signal and got a rapid response from customer support.

Would love a little more options for tuning or leveling certain bands, but at this price point, it’s hard to complain. As for effectiveness, just plugging it in and holding the outdoor antenna in my hand relayed enough signal for basic service inside a completely dead to all carriers home. Once it was better optimized, it still didn’t blanket the house, but it made a bubble of usable service that can be used if the internet/WiFi goes out. To explain my comment about tuning - I could consistently test good signals from 2 different bands, one that achieved a factor of 10 better data speeds for the brief moment a device locked into it, but the device would quickly decide to lock into the slower one. This may have been a decision made by the carrier for load balancing, but still quite annoying. Attempts to use a directional antenna and attenuate the slower band worked according to signal meter but failed at the device. They’d choose the slower one anyway and perform even worse. I eventually gave up chasing the LTE dragon and am just content that it works at all.

Easy setup. weBoost cell tower locator worked better for than open signal app. Tried multiple locations for antenna but 3 bars was the best I could get. Tried attic location, not good. Tried thru an upstairs window which was as good as outside the window. But still only 3 bars. Reception was okay for 3 rooms not so much for other rooms. My space was 2300 square feet. I worked with the system for over a week. Probably would have been fine using a tall mast outside, but not allowed by neighborhood restrictions. Sadly I returned product to the Best Buy where I purchased it. The staff there were cordial and helpful. I really like their TOTAL TECH Program.

Easily installed. A bit hard to determine benefit from increase in bars but fewer dropped calls and better data rate noted within 40 feet of antenna. Likely best for only 2-3 rooms, not a small house.

I can make phone calls now all the time whereas i could not quite often, before installing. Internet is hit and miss, but again, that was dead before. I may try to get a small tower set up, to get the antenna higher. I don't know what the sq. ft. coverage would be with a good signal, but mine doesn't even reach over half my home (home is 2164 sq. ft.). Maybe that'll change with a tower.

I had purchased something like this years a go and it did not work. I wanted to purchase one from Best Buy because I know if it did not work I could take it back. I live way out in the country borderline between Towers , in my house I get zero to 1 bar. Which is very difficult to communicate. so I follow the instructions and watch the video, and very carefully installed the product. And now I have 2 to 4 bars at all time. It was a little pricey but it's going to be well worth it.

My home has a lot of windows The outdoor unit cannot be visually close to indoor unit Since I have a lot of windows and since the optimal place to put the antenna was just outside a window it greatly limited where I could place the indoor unit Also it claims that the signal goes thru walls of the home I did not find that to be true So it only worked on one part of my house That being said I was very happy to be able to make phone calls that were clear and I got one more signal bar If I sat next to the indoor unit So to me it was worth the work of installing it and worth the money

We bought one of these three months ago to boost the signal in our metal roof home. It works very well in the living room area but doesn't work on the other end of the house by the bedrooms. We bought this as a second one to use on the other end of the house. They seem to interfere with each other if they are both on and we are usually only in need of one at a time, so we just turn off the one not needed. So far, we are happy to have better cell reception and can confidently discontinue our landline phone and can stream shows without lags.
